When you get tired of doing the same thing day in and day out and are ready to do something different, a side hustle can give you the outlet you need, while creating some income on the side, as well.
In fact, more and more physicians are starting their own side hustles and earning passive income. So many physicians I talk to mention the need for one.
Think back to when you were coming out of training. There was so much pressure to find the right job. In fact, the truth is that most people don’t stay at their first. It’s a stepping stone.
Don’t Always Think the First One Needs To Be a Home Run
It’s a stepping stone; they gain experience, they learn what’s important, they further define their passions, life happens, and they land a hopefully better position in the future.
The idea is that you start your journey by defining WHY you want to pursue something (side hustle in this case), and this will help propel you in the right direction.
Many of us have never really taken the time to lay it all out on the table and figure out who we are and what we’re into. We’ve been so focused on this one path throughout our medical education and training.
