I quit alcohol for one month and my side hustle income exploded

--

I had many reasons for wanting to quit alcohol, but one stood above all others: I was tired of disappointing myself and not reaching my potential.

Adding more sources of income and chasing entrepreneurial dreams were always important to me in the past, but it wasn’t until recently that they became important enough for me to finally ditch the booze and take a real crack at it with an energized body and a free mind.

Alcohol had always prevented me from doing this.

I’d waste my nights drinking and throwing my productive hours away, and then be too tired the next day to produce anything outside of my work and family duties because of my lousy, booze-damaged sleep.

I always thought I could do more, and I’m finally proving to myself that I can.

Small daily wins, big gains

By directing my newfound energy into activities that have actual value, I was able to boost my side hustle income in a massive way in just one month.

I track my side hustle earnings in two currencies because I’m a Canadian and it’s just easier that way.

So what was my gain in September after quitting alcohol in late August?

How about a 3358% boost in my Canadian dollar earnings and 8518% in my US dollar-tracked activities?
