Something magical happens every time I think seriously about giving up my joyful side hustle: I get an application from a potential new client. It’s like the universe is telling me, “no! Don’t give this up! Your work is important.” Or I’ll have a client say something so nice about their experience with me, it renews my love and passion for the work. I love how you have framed it here though. It’s not about numbers when it’s a side gig. It’s about the moments that bring you joy. It’s about connecting with the people you help in a way that’s free from the pressure of having to REALLY hustle. I have a note on my white board that says: “this job (my day job) allows my creative work to exist with joy, not urgency.”
Omg loveee the note on your whiteboard. I really do love the side hustle for that reason too - it gives a lot more freedom to play and experiment without feeling like making tons of money has to be the goal. And yes, I'm glad the universe is there for you in those moments. Because the work you do is important, and we're showing people that this can be an option for them too. 💖
