Reason 1: Personal Growth and Healing
Recently, a close friend shared their journey through a season of depression, and our conversation took an unexpected turn towards exploring the healing potential of starting a side hustle. Witnessing their transformation—increased creativity, newfound confidence, and a sense of hope—reminded me of a powerful lesson I've learned over the past six years: the process of starting and running a business can be a catalyst for personal healing.
Benefits I've witnessed include:
Increased creativity
Greater self-confidence
Skill development
Breaking through feeling stuck
Enhanced self-compassion and appreciation
More profound self-expression
Building a supportive community, replacing isolation
