Do you have a "side hustle"?

Imagine the light is your paint on the end of your virtual paintbrush. The digital design is your life passion making a painting of your life to illuminate the universe. Pausing in a single spot can melt right through the canvas, or make a light so bright it burns the eyes of onlookers.

Each stroke is a new neon mixture that can explode by the power released splitting the DNA strand in a single molecule smaller than a pinpoint. And the secrets released only of benefit to those who use the energy to take action, thus potentiating the bonds of digital freedom lest it fizzles into a cold darkness of forgotten or demented demensions.

Sparks fly like a welder's arch resting in the right nooks and crannies to form a hot bond that will hold the cold metal until the cows come home. But the brands that stick have held the light in an intensity and burned a beautiful picture into the canvas that can still be seen when you close your eyes (without retinal damage.)

Have you been asked how is your side hustle? It is a curious question, so how is your side hustle? ...but what if all my work is my main "hustle"?

The diverse meaning of the word hustle can be several very different things. Hustle is the term people use when there is a scam. Like a crooked salesman selling a lemon car with the fender duct taped on that falls off as the customer takes off making more sparks in conundrum, as metal alights with concrete.

Nurses are abuzz with the term side hustle. When nurses hustle, I think of them running down the hall for code blue... THEY HAD BETTER HUSTLE!

...Or the hustle of earning income. I know that can feel like an endless hustle. This is especially true without practice or guidance in using the digital light paints.

Which form of hustle is referred to in the mastermind groups? It is often in reference to a small
side business in a special niche.

No matter what the main theme of the side hustle, this is curated to fit people who need the help of a kind guiding light.

Side hustles in nursing businesses are including, but not limited to: Coaching, Life Care Planning, PRN as needed or on call, selling skin care products, creating and marketing nurse bags, audit services, legal nurse consulting...as the list goes on keep in mind that these can also be a main business theme.

Everything relates to a main theme of helping others, but all side hustles then are your main hustle...right?

We don't want to burn out eye sockets or put too many proverbial eggs in a single basket. We also don't want to be so disorganized with it that sparks and strobe lights that status epilepticus turns into a digital virus.

Laser focus on planning and implementation and let your light shine for the future to see. Side hustle or main gigs all need focus in order to glow warmly with Google love.

Once the discipline of the imaginary light is purposed correctly, it can give specific focus like lasix for former blindness. This is true whether it is a side hustle for part time business, or your main company mission.

Within Wealthy Affiliate, I see highlights of businesses flourishing like neon lights of a Las Vegas night.

The learning and encouragement has brought a vision of colorful fluoresce and inspires each day to be my own kind artist in this community.

Wow, my eyes are burning. You author like you are writing poetry moving the emotions with metaphor after metaphor. Love it. I have to slow down a bit which is better for me.
1. I've been with WA for a week and love the learning curve.
2. I joined WA so that I could master this skill before retiring in a couple of years - so I guess it is a side hustle right now.
3. I decided to work within my specialty and experience, addiction treatment and counselor development.
I think that the snowball will collect more snow as it rolls down the hill. The cumulative effect is my motivation at the moment. I am on lesson 7. Never gave a thought about pulling together something digital. Thanks for your post.

Dear Dr. Jeff,
That is very cool! You are moving forward quickly. Just remember a speed limit is set as the fastest you can safely go, if people went at least that fast it would then be the speed less-it. The correlation exists in the loss of implementation or understanding as the less-it If you go at a pace at least as fast as the limit, you will still get there but might miss an important sign or step. It maybe a weird analogy, but take your time for building strong pillars with evidence of your knowledge here, then you progress with quality and avoid disasters. Slowing down is a great way to go.
I hope you have a great night, and thank you for the comment:)
Kind Regards,
Nurse Becca

Becca, I am taking your advice. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, join the community. Dr. Jeff

Nurse Becca, the greatest passion in my life, the greatest niche, the greatest side hustle has always been health and wellness. There is no greater feeling in life than to experience someone recovering from some type or some form of health related condition. There is no greater feeling than to watch someone’s health, life, lifestyle, and way of living being transform in a way where it has never been transformed, to see them pull through recoveries the way they have never been through a recovery before, in a means of health in all aspects. To watch an impact on their life being made, know that their success is happening each and everyday, and they are getting ready to life the life of abundance they never dreams possible, this is so rewarding outcome, and make each day happy, even if it is just to be a guide to them or to be the one that provides a smile to them. A smile can do the most amazing things.

I understand that you being in the nursing niche, also relates to this passion.

Even though I have had that passion for health and wellness all through the years of my life, Nurse Becca, after reading and studying your blogs, you have opened up new perspectives for me and have given me the inspiration, to think outside the box of health and wellness and try to find another way to add value to the life and lifestyle of others within and on the outside of health and wellness. You have given me new and improved ideas in which of and information to their education they are receiving. You always provide so much value and inspiration that educates the minds of others to seek that new level of understanding. You have given me that inspiration to see those new levels.

Often times in life we don’t realize and understand just how much benefit that side hustle has in our life. One major lesson that we need to realize is just how important side hustle really is to you in your life. When you perform a side hustle, that means that you are doing something that you really enjoy, you are doing something that matters to you, you are fulfilling a purpose, a need and a desire. If you are one of those people that has trouble with niche selection, that is okay, nothing wrong study over your niche selection. Side hustle is the perfect opportunity for you to find out what your passion in life is, because it give you the perfect opportunity to do the things and to perform the task that you really enjoy. From this point, on you keep pressing forward, you add things to it each day. Over time you build your strength and endurance. How do this happen? Because you are doing what you love in life. Many times in life your passion is sitting right in front of you, and side hustle, give you the very best of opportunity to find this passion and build this dream. Because you are taking what you enjoy and you are putting forward and applying action. This is where your dreams passion, and your goal, begin to take root, and move forward. Everyone in life has a passion, some people have a little harder time find it. Nothing wrong, with that, perfectly normally. Side hustle give you that extra boost to help you find it.

Nurse Becca, you have done an awesome job at helping others seek the passion, by taking side hustle and moving it one step forward, and making it easy for those who may struggles with their passion, also those who have a passion to add to that passion. Because you don't never know what is out there, and what may be on the other side of that passion until you being to do side hustling

Thank you so much Nurse Becca,
Sincerely,
Ronnie

Wow this is very beautiful, Ronnie! I want to quote and create a compilation, and captivate the masses with a positive side hustle as sorta slang for helping others with a concern of their perception in service. I like the term hustle as in hurry. In service, when there is the element of portraying value for getting answers and actionable steps promptly while helping that can make a difference.
Then we show our clients that time is valued in a caring way.

I am not saying be too hasty, but in having an amount of healthy hustle we can show genuine concern. There is a time stamp on service, like the TOE agreement. Oh, that toe. It will be a long night of time is of the essence.

Ps I hope this note will find you well. Thank you for the input and thoughtful kindness you have shown here. It is an honor to have your interest in my work and success as well. I appreciate all the encouragement, mentoring and great advice.
Sincerely,
Nurse Becca

I think that would be a brilliant idea! You would be giving the people who are uncertain about niche selection an opportunity to seek out the niche options that are available to them. Maybe perhaps some people just do not know where to start. This would make a great opportunity, for them to experiment with certain things to see where their category of interest applies. Great idea Nurse Becca!

Something I learned through the years is, you don’t realize how much you enjoy doing things of interest to you until you begin to do them. Even of things that you have never been exposed to. When you start to study these things, there may be something about it that may start and interest in you. I never knew how much I enjoyed writing until I started with WA.

Hustle is a great term to use, because time is of the essence, meaning and using this in a very respect way, because as you have just pointed out, when you show your concerns and your respects for their time to your clients, they appreciate the value that you have for them, the value that you have given them, the respect you have given them and have value you have for their time.

You are very welcome Nurse Becca and Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Ronnie

Energy is the most powerful the most beautiful source of life and living on this planet It is what makes everything grow and function in the natural ways of nature intent. It is what supplies the fuel to all of our needs, desires, passion, and life destiny. It is what makes our plants and animals grow so beautifully and naturally, it is what makes us grow both physically and mentally.

Where does energy come from? Energy comes from everywhere. It comes from the life form of plants and animals. When plants and animals grow, we grow – we grow both physically and mentally.

There are two primary sources that energy comes from: the sun and the earth. The sun and the earth are the natural habitat for the energy of plants and animals. The sun and the earth and plants and animals are the natural habitat for the energy of human beings both physical and mentally.

You may be asking yourself - how did I get energy out of a blog of side hustle? The answer is very simple, when you are at the first sentence / question - ”do you have a side hustle?” The next paragraph after that one, once I started to read that paragraph, the word energy was the first thing that grabbed onto my attention, because energy is what that paragraph reminded me of, and that is where energy came from, and from that point on for the rest of the blog, the word energy stuck out in my brain. However, energy also gets used for side hustle as well.

What gives us the ability to perform our daily tasks? The answer is simple, it’s energy. Where do you get this energy from? It comes from you, it comes from the plants and animals. it comes from the earth, it comes from the sun, and it comes from everywhere around you. How you ever wonder how plant life grows, it grows from energy. Energy is a matter that comes in a form of life and living. When you understand the use of energy, and how it works, great things are going to happen, and it will take you and you mind to places you never even though existed. That is why it is always recommended to study the use of energy every day and how it works and how it functions.

Where does side hustle come from? How does energy fit into side hustle. Because that is where side hustle comes from, however on that same note, side hustle comes from different type of energy. It comes from an energy of passion, purpose, mission, motivation, devotion, inspiration, dedication, the love of what you do everyday. When you have these things within you, no one has to tell you or inform you to perform these actions, it is just an automatic nature instinct, you do so without even thinking about it, because it is natural, it is who you are, it comes from within you. It comes from a life form that is within. What do I mean by that? You are doing a side hustle because of a passion and a purpose for what you believe in, you are sharing your purpose with others, and there is always something that you possess within you that others have a benefit for.

How does the body get this energy? Two forms: mentally and physically

Mental energy allows our mind to process the information and education that we are taking in on a daily basis. It allows our minds to learn and grow. It allows you to share the knowledge and wisdom that you are learning with others. Mental energy takes us to grow and understanding.

How does the mind get it’s energy? The mind gets it’s energy through the process of nutrition. Depending on the type of nutrition that you are consuming will depend on the type of energy the mind is going to getting, and how it’s going to process material. Please do not misunderstand me, the mind is going.

What it the purpose of physically energy? It allows your body to function the side hustle task that you are feeling so passionately about, to go out each day full of life and full of energy and full of confidence – others want to be around you because you fill them with motivation and inspiration.

How does the body get it’s energy physically? The same way that it gets it’s energy in the mental aspect. Through the process of nutrition. Depending on the type of nutrition that you are consuming, will all depend on the type of energy that you will getting.

When you look at a side hustle, you are shining light down upon a passion that you did not know that you even had. This passion can take you into new places that new levels that you have never dream of and never though that you could ever have the ability to go to. You have the ability, let’s add the energy to it.

Nurse Becca, you have shown us a new way to turn our side hustle into our passion and into a new lifestyle of existence. This new lifestyle is going to create new doors and new windows of opportunities to make our passion our purpose, and to fulfill the dreams and desires to take us to beyond places that we have never seen and never though was possible.

Thank You Nurse Becca!:)

Sincerely,

Ronnie

You gave me new idea. To answer your question, WA gives another venue of earning a living although the same principles apply to any business. As of today WA is I consider my main hustle. The niche I am working with is that of earning more, that is why my website title is Earn More Affiliate. I hope I have contributed some to your research. Have a nice day!

I am happy to have sparked your imagination! Way to go with your main hustle, thank you for the input 🙂🎁

You are welcome.

NnurseBecca - A full time employee can only serve one master at a time if he/she wants to do their best work. Always thinking of different things to improve what they do for the institution that they are working for to make their selves more valuable. When I was in programming i was offered many times to take on projects that were offered to me, but I refused because I felt I would be compromising the company that I was working for, the one master. After retirement and before WA I took on 2 part time Bookkeeping jobs which I was hoping to amount to tops of 20 hours a week. Well one became very involved as I got into and found it was going to take some what longer than I anticipated. I did make a commitment to both companies of which I will fulfill. In the meantime I have had to put my blog on standby which is killing me but I feel that I have to honor my word. I believe that my website has turned to be a good one and I got many ideas to continue the growth of it. I am hoping that I can get fully back to it in 3 - 4 weeks. I know that this is not what you are looking for but all circumstances are different. I am trying to help writers that have to perform to a deadline and persons using English as a second language. I always enjoy reading your posts and I find that they are educational and mind inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Hi there, yes it is precisely what I am looking for. I like your explanation and found your way of doing so quite inspiring.
Sometimes a 3-4 week sabbatical is just what the doc ordered. I do dig your hustle lol thank you!

You had the 'flow' going on there Becca....took me on a magic carpet of words.

WA has shed light on so many things I didn't realise were there, hidden, waiting to come out and shine.

🎆 thank you!!

Thanks for sharing Becca. You are always a good read.

Wealthy Affiliate is my side hustle. I am learning how to take my Personal Training business online and promoting WA at the same time.

And getting paid for both.

I can offer discounted Personal Training to people as an incentive to try WA Premium. I can offer WA Premium as an added incentive to purchase Personal Training.

Get in shape physically and fiscally with one coach for both.

This coming year the first $68($19 + $49) of money paid to me for Personal Training is going to WA. I get a Premium referral, they get 9 weeks of WA training in addition to Personal Training.

And a coach/mentor in both areas.

Helping people fiscally and physically.

My niche training + WA training sounds like a good business plan.

Outstanding! you are most welcome🙂 i love it. thank you for the great input and example

Hustling and helping is the best!

I agree with you on that🙂

Very eloquent post!

Thank you🙂
