The Art of Side Hustling: Empowering Women in Surprising Ways

Three years ago, I launched my first business, juggling it with full-time work and a rich life full of hobbies and socialising. When I reflect on when I started, I can tell you for a fact I never imagined I would be where I am today. With two Side Hustles on the go whilst also maintaining my sanity and Soul level satisfaction in the rest of my delightfully full life. I've loved every minute of my side Hustle journey. I wholeheartedly believe that Side hustling opens a world of opportunities, especially for women seeking to blend their professional aspirations with personal fulfilment. In an era where flexibility and empowerment are more valued than ever, side hustles offer a unique avenue for women to redefine success on their own terms.

Empowerment Through Financial Independence

For many women, financial independence is key. A side hustle can be a powerful tool in achieving this. Beyond supplementing income, it's also a way to regain control over our financial future. This sense of empowerment can be particularly transformative, a portal to providing both security and the means to pursue personal goals and passions. I'm not here to BS you; In three years, I have not (yet) cracked the code to a 6-figure annual income through my Side Hustles, but what I have achieved is steady growth. The money I've made through side hustling has given me more money to have fun with and the capacity to re-invest in my businesses so I can continue to grow and scale. This means I can continue to have a huge positive impact on my incredible community within both my Human Design coaching business and my Skin and Haircare business and I have no doubt that the 6 figure income will come. I'm dedicated to building my businesses to achieve long-lasting, sustainable success, and I know you can do that too.

Flexibility and Work-Life Harmony

One of the most awesome advantages of side hustling is its flexibility. Whether it's balancing family responsibilities or pursuing other interests and full-time work, side hustles can be tailored to fit into existing schedules. This flexibility allows women to create a fun blend of work and personal life, which can open doors to whole new levels of satisfaction and fulfilment in life. The Key is to build your business your way, right from the start. Learning to trust yourself to make aligned, strategic decisions is a vital piece of the puzzle that will allow you the flexibility you're looking for.

A Platform for Passion and Creativity

One of the most surprising things I've experienced through my two Side hustles is this incredible outlet for passion and creativity. For myself and many others I've spoken to, this is a chance to turn a hobby or a passion into a profitable venture. Whether it's crafting, consulting, or coaching, a side hustle can bring a sense of personal satisfaction that goes beyond financial gains. There is a certain kind of magic that happens when we combine our passions with personal and professional development. Side Hustles provides the perfect playground for all of that.

Building Confidence and Skills

Engaging in a side hustle is also an excellent way to build confidence and develop new skills. The experience of managing a business, no matter how small, can lead to significant personal growth. From marketing and sales to time management and networking, the skills gained through a side hustle can be invaluable both professionally and personally. In the short time I've been running my businesses, I've learned a never-ending list of new skills. From Social Media Management to Podcasting and Marketing. This journey is full of potential for growth and will show you the true depth and breadth of your capabilities.

Community and Support

There is no doubt that the people you meet as you grow your business will be a huge positive and uplifting part of your life. This community aspect can be incredibly rewarding. Being surrounded by women who relate to your growth mindset, have a shared interest in having an impact, and express their passions, all while making money, is undoubtedly one of the best parts of growing a thriving Side Hustle.

A Step Towards Greater Opportunities

If you choose it, A side hustle can be not just a temporary project but a stepping stone to bigger aspirations. It can be a testing ground for business ideas that have the potential to evolve into full-time careers. The experience and knowledge gained from a side hustle can lay the groundwork for future entrepreneurial ventures.

Explore and Grow

Side hustling can offer so much more than the potential for financial growth.  The entrepreneurial journey is one of exploration and evolution, where you get to unlock previously untapped potentials. You'll become empowered and undoubtedly surprise yourself by discovering what you are truly capable of.

I've come to think of my businesses as vital parts of my personal, professional and spiritual evolution. They're a huge part of my life and have given me more than just money. They're an incredible Creative outlet, a fun way to develop new skills, build aligned and authentic connections and the perfect way to have a special little something in your life that is both for you and has a huge positive impact on your wider community.
