There’ll always come a time to take bold steps forward, if it’s only out of your comfort zone. Starting a side hustle is one such case.

Launching into a new side hustle will always throw a curveball your way. It could be overwhelming, and finding your feet could be a real challenge. If you’re in the majority, it’ll take you a while to bed in and make progress.

But don’t let that stop you. Whatever it takes to make your efforts worth your while — and even take you to the top of your new side hustle, embrace it. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

How many skills can you transfer over?

When starting something new, it’s easy to fall for the temptation of grabbing a new set of skills, ignoring the old ones you’ve probably gathered over the years.

But before you splurge on more specialized training, wait a second. List your skills, your strengths, your abilities. Unless you’re just leaving high school, you’ve probably accumulated some skills throughout your life.

And though every industry is different, some skills will always rest in the intersection of even the most distinct roles.
