Life is really not short to only focus on one thing… Even this is valid for your career…
Sometimes we look for inspiration to start a new page. Even if everything goes well, I believe opening a new page is a need for improvement. On the other hand, you may be bored with what you are currently working/studying on and want to do some changes. Your entrepreneurial soul 😉 will trigger you to create your dream business. Moreover, you will also probably believe working in that dream business and becoming an expert will make you more motivated. All of these are great feelings… If you are at this point, I believe there will be something serious soon, you just need continuous self-motivation until taking the first step…
In the Digital Era, It Is Much Easier…
Anyway, nowadays, due to the pandemic, people work remotely or have had to leave their jobs. But the real issue is that serious changes, passing points have happened in our lives. These kinds of milestones are great chances for us to evaluate or being aware of our current situation. I personally think optimistic and believe that humanbeing will adopt new order successfully in a very short time and this transformation will help us more since we have more awareness. Hopefully…
On the other hand, many cooperation companies had a huge amount of budgets for digital transformation for 5-10 years… It was very difficult to create a new environment, a new perspective for the customer, employees, and employers too. However, when we look at today’s challenges, hard conditions opened a new era in many area such as business, education system, communication channels, workstyles, health&cleaning services.
Because of my lifestyle and experiences, I am more eager to develop myself in terms of business and productivity. As a matter of fact, I had discovered it and it happened without awareness since I needed to earn money. However, later, those activities became my side business and a part of my lifestyle … We can talk this part later on but if you are interested in picking up practical information about some activities that I have done so far, I would recommend checking this link.
Now, I would like to share how doing side business contributed to new soft skills and transformed my life…
10 Lessons I Learned from Side Businesses
- In addition to your day job, doing a side business can contribute different perspectives into your day job, social life.
- Sometimes your side business can bring more revenue than your main job. It just needs time, energy and effort to reach that level.
- Self-growth, and also technical skills can be improved dramatically with your side business activities. Since it can reduce the lack of creativity caused by dedicating only the same task.
- Cognitive overload will decrease. Personally, when I am tired of the work, I prefer to rest while I spend my time on the other works. This doesn’t always happen but helps a lot.
- You will have extra self motivation with accomplishing more tasks in your side business.
- Different works can be integrated and new projects can be executed… Having more expertise areas can provide a new career path.
- Especially if you work in a company having less job security, side business will help you to have more self-esteem.
- You will be stronger after resolving many problems on your side business and will be readier for more challenges.
- Doing a side business will encourage you to own a business since it can help you gain the experiences of managing the business.
- Time management skills improve a lot with doing side business as you are already able to finish multi-tasks in sync…. 😉
Conclusion
Personally, I experienced all these steps to accomplish different side business projects at different workplaces. You don’t need to be always successful in your side business. As you have experiences with failures, you increase the rate of success for your next attempt, next business.
This series will continue with the other subtopics of doing side business. Stay tuned! 😉
