Sign that says love to learn. Learn why having a skill is trumps having a side hustle

  1. Some Side Hustles Are Only Hot For Right Now- Once I lose my beer belly, there will be no need for me to purchase your flat tummy tea. If everyone gets in shape, what will that do to your business?
  2. Most Side Hustles Will Make Your Levi Jeans Pockets Fat But Not Your Bank Account- A true skill that is in demand will fill up your bank account faster than a side hustle. Please, before you get upset, I did say most not all.
  3. To Learn A Valuable Skill, You Will Have To Invest In Yourself Education Wise- It didn’t cost me much to start my mobile notary business, Fine Tooth Notary. In contrast, to get my degree in MIS, I had to shell out a few “thow wows” to obtain my degree. (translation: thow wows are thousands of dollars)
  4. You List Skills On Your Resume Not Side Hustles- If you can show me one resume that has “candy lady” as a job description, I’ll delete my medium account tonight and retire from writing.
  5. Skills Pay The Bills- I’m sure you have heard or said this phrase before in your life. When you hustle it’s always a continuous tussle to be successful. That line was corny, but o well.
  6. Skills Allow You To Work Smart Not Hard In
