I’m going to start this off with a disclaimer: I actually don’t have all the answers. What I do have is some experience with starting new side hustles, along with some experience in how to cope with rejection when your ideas aren’t received well. I know about the nitty-gritty, all the tiny messy details that nobody really talks about. But before I get stuck into it, here’s a little glimpse into my love-hate relationship with side hustles. I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember. When I was a teenager, I made jewellery that I persuaded several jewellery shops to sell on consignment. I used to walk past these shops and peer into the window at my little handmade cardboard display, counting how many pairs of earrings were hanging there to see if I’d miraculously sold some.
