You use your day job for resources to expand your streams of income (passive income if possible)and to network (letting people know what you do and put you in touch with people who are likeminded or need your services).
You can do it by:
Taking what you learn at your job and doing it independently on your off hours.
Create a way for people to learn something and make it accessible and payments accepted 24/7 (like a starbucks barista creating content on how to make drinks, reviewing products, or sharing info on the different blends)
Or Monitor the behavior of the customers or consumers and invest/resell/dropship whatever commodity is hot at the time.
Best case scenario our job feeds your dreams and passive income ventures, your passive income ventures relieve you of your job, now you have time and money to focus on your dreams.
Wow, GREAT response!! I really like that you provided some actionable tips for people starting out. I especially liked your first tip about analyzing your curtain skills, that you may be using in your day job, and see if there’s a way to put that skill set to work on the side.
Actually, I really liked all of your ideas! The Starbucks barista one is brilliant. I was a barista/coffee shop manager for six years, so I especially related to that one!
Thanks again for the great response!
