Ep.48 – The Side Gig Edition: Looking for Extra Income

In this episode of "The Seed, Growing Your Business," I, Lisa Resnick, discussed the topic of starting a side gig. I highlighted the importance of choosing a side gig that aligns with one's interests and skills, whether it be to supplement income or explore a new career path. I provided practical tips on different types of side gigs, such as freelancing, real estate, Etsy and Shopify stores, and print on demand. I emphasized the need for effort and attention in every side gig, debunking the idea of passive income. Setting realistic expectations, managing time effectively, and maintaining a balance between the side gig and other commitments were key points I addressed. I shared personal experiences and lessons learned to guide listeners in successfully incorporating a side gig into their routine. To help listeners kickstart their side gigs, I outlined steps such as assessing skillsets, researching the market, setting clear goals, creating a schedule, and joining a community for support and accountability. I encouraged listeners to view side gigs as opportunities for personal growth and exploration, not just for extra income. I concluded by inviting listeners to share the episode with friends and family, join the Dandelion Inc. community for more support, and subscribe to The Seed's podcast for inspiring stories from successful women. The episode aimed to empower women in business and inspire them to chase their dreams while cultivating growth in their entrepreneurial journeys.
