So you’ve decided that starting a side hustle is in alignment with where you want to be. But hold up, something is stopping you from taking this aligned action. This amiga, are limiting beliefs that keep you from taking the next important steps. In this article, we will go over how to overcome the two most common side hustle blocks so that you can confidently manifest a side hustle you are proud of.
What kind of side hustle is right for you?
The first thing you gotta do is make sure that the chosen side hustle is right for YOU. Just because fulanita made a killing selling trinkets doesn’t mean you will be successful in the same side business.
Nobody can tell you exactly what is the best side hustle opportunity out there but what I can tell you is how to find out:
Follow the nudges
When you embark on this journey, you will be pulled to certain things. An idea can come to you as a sudden interest or curiosity about something new or a current hobby.
It is your job to listen and follow through with whatever the universe puts on your path.
Be open and flexible with what comes up. Don’t overthink or question it too much because it is with the action you take, however small, that you’ll find the clarity that you need.
If you are asking yourself “is this the right one for me?”
We’ll amigita, take the leap, and find out!
Do what lights you up and get paid
Usually, when we enjoy doing something it becomes a hobby – and monetizing your hobby is a great way to create a side hustle.
You don’t have to search and learn a whole new thing when what you can monetize is already in your lifestyle. Who says that you can’t monetize the things you find fun and easy?
Love to cook? Monetize a food blog or create a recipe book.
Love plants? Propagate and sell them or offer green thumb coaching.
Love to build websites? Create them for others, for a price.
Are you crafty? Sell your goodies.
The point is that you have fun in the process!
The Mindblocks that come up – Side hustle blocks
Now that we have the technicalities out of the way, let’s get to the two most common mental blocks that come up when you are ready to launch your side hustle.
I don’t feel like an expert
BEHOLD, imposter syndrome. It’s when you compare yourself to the people who have been doing what you want to do for years. They have experience, technical training, community, and professional credentials.
Is this the kind of person you are comparing yourself to?
Lemme tell you “sun-ting”: There will always be someone who knows more than you and someone who knows less than you. We are all starting his journey on different paths and this is your advantage.
Your ideal client does not have all the answers and probably has no interest in creating your beautiful creations. They want the shortcut, the final product and you already have this to offer.
Of course, be mindful of those fields that do require licenses and technical training. But also know that you have something to offer no matter what stage you feel that you are in.
If the thought of not knowing enough is getting on your nerves, be open to investing in yourself to better serve your gente.
You are worthy of bringing your creation into the world and making money out of it too
I don’t look the part
Well, mija, according to whom?
Ok, maybe that thing you want to do has a certain vibe and you just don’t carry it. Like my yogi friend who at one point didn’t feel she was “yogi” enough because she listened to Bad Bunny, loved her carnitas tacos, drank Presidentes, and didn’t shop at lululemon.
But by being her authentic self, she was able to bring something fresh and new to the table. I am asking you to do the same. The truth is that in many fields, there is not enough representation of someone like YOU. There will never be another YOU and no one else to do it as you do.
The part that you are paying is yours and your people will love you for it. Forget the rest.
Finally
We have no time to be putting our excellence on hold. Amiga, if you feel called to start a side hustle and have stopped the process before you even began, listen to what is coming up.
Nothing happens when we allow limiting beliefs to cloud our judgment on creating money and doing something we genuinely love.
This thing doesn’t have to be complicated!
Let me challenge you to a side hustle money challenge. Here is what you’ll do:
- Grab your blank money manifestation checks here.
- Pay it out to yourself and in the memo write “ For services rendered…” or “Products” and also name the side hustle. What exactly are you selling?
- Then put in an amount you desire to manifest in the next 30 days.
- Date the check 30 days from today and keep it in a place you will see it often.
- Every day do one thing that will get you closer to monetizing something that you love all while knowing that you already made the money, someone wants your product, and this is going to be so much fun.
