Dean Graziosi (speaker) argues that while many Americans pursue side hustles for extra income and freedom, these ventures should also 'light up' one’s soul, heart, and purpose. He cites a prevalence statistic (39% of Americans have a side hustle) and warns that pursuing income without fulfillment can cost time, family moments, and personal meaning.
39%
When it comes to a side hustle, 39% of Americans have a side hustle. Something that brings extra revenue, extra income, extra impact, something that lights you up. We all want to make extra money, which results in more freedom, more control of your time, more control of your decisions. We get that. But do we really want to do things that don't fill our soul so many times? We can get the money, but we don't have soul, we don't have heart, we don't have purpose, we don't have reason in our life. So I might be a little counterintuitive to most people. I know what I believe in, all of me is the best side hustle hustle on the planet. But I want to back up a little and say, whatever side hustle you do, make sure it's something that also lights up your soul, your heart. Or you're just going to be working, grinding, you're going to be missing your family. Doing something takes away time, way control. And if it's just bringing in a little bit of extra money without fulfilling you, then why do it?
