well to the world of sight. Hustles, since leaving high school Dan had been financially responsible for himself. He wanted to pay off some student loans and begin saving for retirement so he began pursuing a number of different hustles. He looked into the world of Rennell properties and eventually inquired two of them. He completed pay surveys and participated in research that paid a fee, taking advantage of that convenient work side at the hospital where a lot of those studies took place, Do you know that a lot of people use Microsoft Access every day, particularly, healthcare world, but also in the energy sector, the environmental industry and elsewhere.

It didn't take long to get his first client. He decided to charge fifty five dollars an hour for online sessions and sixty five dollars an hour if meeting in person. Now this was great, he did it.

Hours a week and made more than five hundred dollars a month on average, sometimes as much as a thousand dollars a month, but I also noticed that some of the students who came to him had other database needs that weren't solved merely through his tutoring. These students needed more help or even a complete service. For example, some of them worked for employers in search of accustomed database and others required some more detailed form of consulting overtime tutoring business became an entry point for this higher level work for which he charges somewhere in the range of eighty dollars. Two hundred twenty five dollars an hour depending on the projects, complexity,. As with any side hustle, the money is great, but Dan also notes that the work has brought him. Additional benefits I have been able to diversify its income, getting paid by multiple sources for different kinds of work.

and even more valuable scale. This ability to imagine and implement side hustle ideas by working at that hospital. He has the perfect setting to earn two hundred to three dollars a month taking part a research studies. Not every computer engineer would think about tutoring students and database skills, but Dan very wisely recognised that a lot of professionals have to navigate large amounts of information And it gladly pay to learn how to work faster and smarter in the same way. Not every online tutor would think that is. Students might lead him to bigger opportunities with the companies they worked for, but then it figured out how to think that way and because of it he was well on his way to achieving its goals of paying off his student loans and beginning to save for retirement. Sudan began by signing up at a tutoring site, complies dot com.

And all equivalent to that in the show nuts and right from the beginning, he understood that specific tutoring is better than generic. You didn't wanna, be a tutor for all Signs of math and science are forgiving needs. He really focused on the Skillet Microsoft access at first. He worried that it was too much of an itch, but this where he proved to be false and if you think about it, it makes perfect sense, because lots of people in these fields use the software professionally and it's very powerful, but it's not easy to master, oh, so in accounting, engineering user experience design all these fields. There are specialised tools and specialised software and the professionals that using yours understand their value. If they can get a little bit better at them, then they can save a lot of time in the long run, and it was great to make

a nice hourly wage for tutoring fifty five dollars an hour, sixty five if he was meeting in person, but Dan went one step further by more fully understanding the needs at his students had not. Everyone was a good fit for consulting or that customize database work so for everyone who wasn't he could just do. The tutoring five dollars an hour, but some work at fit and by focusing on then he was able to increase his average early rate even higher. So as you listen this week, you think about your own skills.

is ripe for hustling, I was recording this episode. I just jotted down some notes with thinking about some some different skills, Hobbes industries. I thought about travel hacking, which is something it I've been involved here, for I do no more than a decade now and travel hacking is the art of seeing the world on a budget and having experiences that would otherwise because prohibitive or nearly impossible, using frequent flyer miles using round the roleplaying too. Gets mistake, Ferris all kinds of stuff. So this is a whole industry and its something that anyone can learn a little bit about, but there are also a lot of opportunities for expertise and for people to kind of come in and help other people take advantage of these things, and I thought of calligraphy. If you look on Instagram now, there's this huge craze. If people doing some really really nice hand lettering and some other people doing it, there have built very large.

Wings and their teaching people how to do it? They have courses so as they have products, so I'm so just doing it for fun, but it's a great example of a potential hustle, so travel hacking, calligraphy database programming, plenty of other stuff. These are very different things, yet they all represent learned skills or acquired knowledge. They can then be turned into a hustle, and it may not happen exactly like that for you. But if you listen to these stories, applying them to your own hustle, you will see results.
