How to Find the Perfect Side Hustle

The perfect side hustle, from my experience, incorporates two things:

• a thing that you enjoy

• a flexible schedule

Before you choose your side hustle you should take the time to consider what is your goal with this extra income. Is it to pay some bills? Pay off debt? To have some money to spend on fun? To build a business?
