From anxiety to self-improvement, this working mother has completed the counterattack of her life with her sideline!
During the time when the resumption of work was postponed, Sister Wang turned on her mobile phone every day when she opened her eyes, and the empty screen shouted "There is no hope of returning to work", and then opened the circle of friends and saw that her colleague Xiaomi posted two real estate certificates. Sister Wang pouted: "This little girl born in the 1995s, who is usually unknown in the company, turned out to be a rich second-generation." She glanced at the copy again, and was surprised that the two suites were bought by the little girl herself! Looking at the growth experience written by Xiaomi, Sister Wang sighed, and turned to deep thought.
Sister Wang has a leisurely position in the company and her income is not high. Although she has become a team leader in the past two years, her salary has not increased. Back at home, although the life of "holding two for three years" is happy, it also has hidden dangers. The cost of the "four-legged beast swallowing gold" is getting bigger and bigger. With Sister Wang's current family income level, after the child goes to kindergarten, the family economy will enter a negative growth. At this time, seeing Xiaomi's circle of friends, Sister Wang's mood can't be calmed down for a long time. .
Fortunately, I usually take care of Xiaomi in the company, and Xiaomi has always known everything to Sister Wang. After getting to know the situation of the side business with Xiaomi, Sister Wang began to plan. She is confident that she has rich experience with two children. Sister Wang believes that it will be more handy to start a side business in the field of mother and baby.
The former sister Wang was a journalism graduate of the 985 college and a good writer, but she was abandoned after giving birth. After deciding to start a side business, Sister Wang not only established a Baoma community and brought everyone to buy and buy, but also picked up a long-abandoned public account and published her own parenting experience articles. Due to the clear organization and interesting style of writing, the article has received a good response, and the number of fans of the official account has continued to increase.
This has greatly increased Sister Wang's confidence, and her state is completely different from before. Every day, she is full of energy and bright, and she no longer worries about when to resume work. Sister Wang said: "When I found out that there are other possibilities in life, I suddenly felt that my life was bright and my life was opened." This sentence made a deep impression on me.
Romain Rolland said in "John Christopher": Most people die in their twenties and thirties, because after this age, they are only shadows of themselves, and the rest of their lives are imitating themselves. Pass. Day after day, more mechanically, more pretentiously, repeating what they did, what they thought, what they loved and hated during their lifetimes.
Seeing Sister Wang, I discovered the meaning of having a side business.
Side business increases the possibility of life and maximizes the bloom of our life
A side hustle can be self-fulfilling
The main business initially chosen may not allow us to realize the meaning and value of life, but the side business can. As Sister Wang said in the public account: "My sharing is useful to many new mothers. I feel very happy, as if my career has started again from here."
- A side business can add security to life
The popularization of higher education has led to the continuous increase of "highly educated" talents, and the increase of enterprise employment standards. Kochi and high-energy molecules are the "sweet pastry" of the workplace; the continuous development of AI intelligence has created the normal workplace of "intensive competition and unemployment at any time" , This is undoubtedly worse for ordinary people like Sister Wang.
In the adult world, there is no easy word. Everyone is like walking on the tip of a knife. Tomorrow or accident, I don’t know which one will come first. Unless you really have money in your hands, you can’t expect to live a lifetime with a job. In an era of widespread unemployment, starting a side business is an extra layer of protection for life.
- A side hustle can parallelize interest and work
Just like Xiaomi, who was doing a side business at the beginning of the article, was very interested in design, but her parents explicitly forbade her, so she found a stable job for her. Xiaomi was not reconciled and insisted on designing as a sideline. From buying classes and learning that someone took the initiative to ask for drafts, he finally doubled his income and bought two properties with his sideline income.
Maybe you, like Xiaomi, were not able to engage in the job you like by chance. Then a sideline can help you realize the parallel between your interests and your work. Isn’t this win-win life model more worth looking forward to?
- Although the side business is good, it is not suitable for everyone
Seeing this, you may have approved the side business to do, but blindly doing the side business may not only yield no gains, but also affect the main business.
If you happen to meet the following categories, then congratulations, you can develop your skills outside of your main business:
The main business is not busy, and there is a lot of free time. For example, civil servants, state-owned enterprises, institutions and other "iron rice bowls".
Have a skill. Just like Li Jiaqi, he must have good eloquence and strong sales skills to be able to do such a good job in the sideline of live broadcasting.
Because of love, not fame and fortune. For example, Einstein, doing the boring work of patent examination, while studying the physics he loves. In today's society, the accumulation of quantitative changes in love will lead to qualitative changes to a large extent, allowing side jobs to boost our life development.
The side business should be done, but how should it be done? If you are a working mom like Sister Wang, here are three suggestions:
Make good use of compound interest thinking to extend the value of the main business
My friend Xiaomin has been engaged in design work for many years and is skilled in design software. Also a mother of a second child, she was also troubled by financial pressure, but since she started her sideline business of designing e-commerce detail pages, her income has risen.
At the same time, she also made her own design experience into courses and distributed it to multiple online platforms, successfully extending the value of the main business and realizing the compound interest and realization of knowledge.
The main business may not help you reach the peak of life, but using compound interest thinking well can help you achieve the parallel improvement of the main and secondary businesses.
- Starting from one's own expertise, realize the realization of experience
After giving birth to the second treasure, Lin Zi fell in love with making complementary food. The food she made is full of color, flavor, and taste. She compiled the recipes of food making and shared them on social platforms, gradually accumulating a lot of popularity. While sharing her experience, she used network resources, multi-platform cooperation, distributed compound interest, successfully realized the realization of experience, and found a suitable sideline path for her.
It is said that your mother is a superman. As a superman, you must have your own specialties and hobbies. You might as well be like Lin Zi, start from your advantages and interests, share your own experience, use experience to realize, and bravely take the first step to start a side business.
- No matter how small an individual is, he has his own brand
This is the advertising slogan of the WeChat public platform: No matter how small an individual is, he has his own brand. This sentence encourages us ordinary people. Although we are very small, we can also speak up.
In the era of fragmented information, when celebrity news is commonplace, it is easier for the ordinary life to gain attention. Maybe you have expertise in singing, dancing, baking, etc. Maybe you have rich life experience. At any entry point, you can build a brand for yourself, seize the dividends of the times, and open new doors for side businesses.
Taking the famous "Yu Ma" as an example, by sharing the interesting daily life of his sister and brother, he has accumulated a large number of fans and shaped his personal image, thereby driving the development of the main business of children's clothing. This is the advantage of traffic.
The powerful communication power of new media is undoubtedly good news for mothers. A small advantage can be infinitely magnified, and it will no longer be difficult to do a side business.
Finally, remember that a side business is just a side business, not putting the cart before the horse. Before preparing for a big job, please measure the time and energy spent on the side business. If it affects the main business that you rely on for survival, you must weigh the pros and cons.
Gibran wrote in Sand and Foam:
Seven times I despised my own soul. The first time, when it could have been aggressive, it pretended to be humble; the second time, when it was empty, it filled it with lust; the third time, between the hard and the easy, it chose the easy; the fourth The first time, when it made mistakes, it comforted itself by the fact that others would also make mistakes; the fifth time, when it was free and weak, it regarded it as the tenacity of life; the sixth time, when it despised an ugly face, it I don't know that it is the one in its own mask; for the seventh time, it is sideways in the mud of life, and although it is not reconciled, it is timid.
Don't let yourself go when you have more choices, just take a step forward and give your life more possibilities.
