I started side hustling in March 2020.

I knew an average 3–5% annual salary increase wouldn’t help me build the life I wanted.

Staying at the same workplace or changing to a new one did not seem to make a difference — I would be building someone else’s dream anyway instead of mine.

Was I scared to start a side hustle? Hell, yes! I risked my free time, money, and energy to build something I had no clue about. I did not know what exactly I wanted to create and whether it would work.

The only thing I knew, and it became my life motto, is this — I better die knowing than wondering.

I wrote over 200 blog posts about marketing, lifestyle, entrepreneurship, and productivity in two years. My story reached thousands of like-minded people worldwide. It inspired me to leave a bigger footprint after me — something I wanted to know when I was younger, immature, and lost.

In August 2021, I launched my second side hustle — selfmademillennials.com website. I hope it will become my full-time occupation one day.
