If you are even considering starting up a side hustle, or a side business, today is the day. The longer you wait, the less time you’ll have to see where it goes. Starting something new is exciting and scary at the same time.

Here are some first steps that you need to consider taking when considering this.

Step 1

First, be honest with yourself in what the purpose behind this new venture is. Are you passionate about something that you are considering turning into a business? Are you short on money and need something to supplement what you already have coming in?

This is important. If it’s something you love doing, and are good at doing it, great! There’s no real rush if this is you. Take your time and have fun with it. If you need the extra money, then it’s time to buckle down and roll up your sleeves.

Step 2

Decide what product or service your side business is going to focus on.

There’s always room for expansion in any business, but there’s got to be a focus point that your business centers around. For example, if you’re an artist and use mostly paint as your medium, focus on that starting out. You can always expand to drawings or whatever else you delve into.
