Side Hustle

Dear Aspiring entrepreneur, In the past two weeks, we have been biting our teeth into the importance of having a side hustle. We looked at what lessons to learn from your current job and how your workplace can teach you important characteristics what would help build your business. If you are not learning what to do from your work place right now, you are learning what not to do. So see your current job as a learning center. This week let’s delve into identification of what to do. First determine what your side hustle will be. Will it be products or services? In identifying what to do, you must not be afraid to fail.

If it is a new product, carry out surveys to know if it will be acceptable to your target market. If it is an existing product, what do you want to do differently? You want to run a business selling ‘akara’, it might be nice to host akara party in your house and intentionally sample the opinion of your guests on the taste of our akara. What is different a...
