One source of income feels like a slow death.

I simply can’t do it. Having one human in a penguin suit decide whether my rent gets paid is too overwhelming for a former anxiety sufferer.

Having multiple income sources is about my mental health, not trying to join the bandwagon and high-five side hustle culture. Side Hustle is simply a label. Humans tend to overthink labels. If you’ve sold discarded furniture from your previous home on eBay, then you’ve dabbled with side hustles. Congrats. (That’s how stupid labels are.)

Many of you feel the same way as me about multiple income streams. Yet you’re told side hustles are stupid or too hard or not possible for tax-paying citizens who work normal jobs. This keeps you living with uncertainty. It’s not necessary.

Let me show you some unconventional side hustles as ideas that you might decide to experiment with. You’ll need an open mind and the willingness to experiment — both life-changing skills.
