Let's create your side hustle game plan!

Together we'll create a side hustle game plan, which sets your intentions and outlines action items you can get started on right away for your side hustle.

Getting started:

Use a pen & paper or download the class workbook below for helpful guidance. Remember:

A side hustle is as unique as you! Your exercises and answers will look different from mine, and that's okay.
There's no singular definition of a successful side hustle. It's okay for it to be a small project, something you're a beginner at, or for you to shift your goals as you go along.
Your side hustle plan should fit into your existing lifestyle! This might mean you'll only commit a few hours to it each week - but even short amounts of work over time can add up to big accomplishments.

Your side hustle game plan: A step-by-step guide

Create a mission statement. Your mission statement will outline what you are trying to accomplish with your side hustle and why. Using an "I am" statement can be helpful to define where you are now. Identify the pathways to monetization you are most interested in pursuing and include how you'll use your existing skills, interests, and experiences to help you create your side hustle.
Identify areas for growth. With any creative project, there will likely be skills you need to research, practice, and improve. These learning opportunities aren't something to be ashamed of - needing to expand your skillset is a sign that you're pushing yourself! Just remember that learning and improving takes time.
List action items for the upcoming weeks. This might look like a new practice habit, a few small projects, or a larger project. Review the list and ask yourself - is this list realistic? Remember that a side hustle needs to fit into your existing lifestyle. Also ask yourself - does this list seem fun? It's important to prioritize the fun parts of a side hustle to avoid it feeling like a drag.
List action items for the upcoming months. This list might include larger projects or steps to monetizing your passion that might take a little longer. Compare this list with the list of action items for the upcoming weeks - do they make sense together? You might consider adding action items for the upcoming weeks that will contribute to your goals for the future months.
Identify future goals. Think of these goals as things you might like to accomplish with your side hustle someday. Remember, it's okay for these goals to shift as time goes on. Even if your goals change, writing down some long-term goals can be super motivating at the beginning of a project!

Remember to share your side hustle game plan in the project gallery! Also consider sharing your completed exercises, takeaways from the class, or first steps you've made with your side hustle!
