Summary
To kick off How to make a living doing what you love month, I want to address something that I've been asked a few times, both in the side hustle pro community on Facebook and in one-on-one emails and text messages. And that question is: how do I side hustle without getting fired? I think it’s so important that I pause to address this concern, because it may be the thing that’s preventing your from taking your side hustle to that next level.
On this episode I break it down into three main points:
- Don’t Assume Your Employer Will Tell You No
- Create A Schedule that Doesn’t Conflict With Work
- What’s in it for them: Know the Benefits of A Side Hustle For Your Employer

| 0:07.6 | Side Hustle from Passion Project to Profitable Business. |
| 0:11.3 | And I'm your host, Nakela Matthews. |
| 0:14.0 | So let's get started. |
| 0:18.0 | This is episode 43, how to side hustle and not get fired. I mentioned in a previous episode that I have a new |
| 0:26.4 | lens and approach to my Side Hustle Pro content and themes and I want to share that |
| 0:31.3 | with you today. In sum, I'm going to start grouping guests together |
| 0:36.0 | under an umbrella theme each month to really drive home |
| 0:40.0 | the message for that month. |
| 0:42.0 | For example, April's theme is how to make a living |
| 0:45.9 | doing what you love. So this month you will hear from women who specifically |
| 0:50.4 | started a business by doing something they already love and were already passionate about and have turned it into a viable and profitable business. |
| 1:00.0 | You see, many times we're often giving this advice when starting a business that we have to make sure we're solving a need and make sure we're creating something people want and that there's a demand for and that can sometimes paralyze people I realize |
| 1:15.8 | we're so worried about creating the next big genius solution and the next Uber |
| 1:21.2 | that we're ignoring the passion that we already love to do. |
| 1:26.2 | So that's why all this month, |

| 1:31.3 | and then found their audience and then figured out demand and then |
| 1:35.4 | transition from passion to profit. Before we kick off April's interviews though I |
| 1:41.8 | want to address something that I've been |
| 1:43.8 | asked a few times now both in the Side Hustle Pro community on Facebook and in |
