Anybody started a side hustle while working in consulting? It’s not really for the money, more to find some meaning in my life.

I would argue that if you don’t need the money, volunteering might be more meaningful than day trading or hawking dropshipping watches.

EY 1 tbh I would! It’s really not the money :)

Yeah I started building websites using webflow. It was super easy to learn, didn't need to know how to code. I've done a bunch of builds for non profits, startups, small businesses, etc. Made some $, have a sweet portfolio and felt good helping.

The whole point of a side hustle or the concern of hustling is that there is some monetary benefit. Seems like what you are looking for is volunteering not side hustling

I create websites on the side and have some income based off keeping them up and running. I used to do software development for some clients and the work was fairly easy but time consuming. I stopped doing it because it was consuming nights and weekends. Money was good but prefer spending time with my family. Web site maintenance gives me a good balance.

I’m confused. What is this “side”.

Don’t be. Side hustle means secondary income
