Side Income and Self-Employment
Why Side Income Matters
What you'll learn
- →Reframe side income from "getting rich" to three honest goals: build a cushion, test an idea, prove to yourself you can earn on your own terms.
- →Recognize that the psychological value of earning $100 from a thing you built often outweighs the dollar value.
- →Stop comparing your side income to a salary — compare it to its actual purpose.
