Without a shadow of a doubt, I'm having a bit of an existential crisis with my side hustles. I'm simply struggling to motivate myself to move on to the next level. I can't really deny it as I've been spinning plates for a while. I've got myself an accountability partner to hopefully help me push on. I've also signed up for an online program by motivational dude Mike Gillette to kick my arse and embrace courage.
After all, I have a philosophy for life (push for financial freedom), a view on where the world of work is going (it's collapsing around our ears as we speak) and I've got a range of skills that can (and have in the past) made me income. But....I just struggle to push on.
I know I lack goals, discipline and a review process. Maybe getting to grip with those areas would be big for me. But this moment in time I'm just in a state of pause. And we all have moments like that. That's what it's like to be human. Still, I do need to have a bit more courage.
Anyway, time for the roundup:
Resume Writing: $0. The potential client I had lined up has gone quiet. But I've also turned down work. I'm just not that fussed right now.
Additional Writing: $230. My regular writing gig is ticking over.
Stock Dividends: $185. Still good - still giving me my passive stream.
Interest: $15. This is piddling away in the background.
Ebooks: $2. Still quiet. Still undermarketed. Still an asset that's paying (Beginner's Guide to Online Side Hustles, Cryptocurrency Job Hunting for Non-Techies, The Simple Guide to a Winning LinkedIn Profile, and Craft a Winning Resume).
Coaching: $0. No sessions.
Other: $0. Nothing to add.
Total: $432. That's ok. Time to refine my approach.
