I need a side hustle on top of my main job

Dude. No.
Enjoy these moments. I am 6 months in and wish we could go back to 2 months because she was so precious.
Be present. Be a parent.

Doesnโt get easier either, I have a very energetic 2 year old with another on the way. The toddler is all gas and no breaks the entire time he is conscious lol.
There are two speeds at that age: on and off.
Sage advice here. Itโs no time to pick up new hobbies or habits. Looking back, I would have been wise to drop a few. Almost obnoxiously cliche, but you wonโt get that time back if you miss it. Enjoy that baby!
Yes, exactly. Youโll never get this time back, and they morph through each stage so quickly. Maybe the only side hustle here would be photography so you can capture some of these memories.
Hold up. You only get this newborn once. This honestly is not the best time to start a side hustle, for many reasons.
I agree - focus on your family. Don't lose this time in your life.

Because newborn children are so easy to manage?
Spend as much time as you can with your kids, because when they get older, they may not want to spend time with you. Hopefully, your kids are the exception. ๐
Hearing that song โCatโs in the Cradleโ by Harry Chaplin - a classic cautionary tale!
First 12 months is a no-no. A newborn is more than a side hustle. Iโve had opportunities for side hustles too right after we had twins 3 yrs ago, luckily enough i did not pursue them.
From todayโs perspective Iโm super glad i spent all the time I could with our babies, precious moments.

Man, I only got 2 weeks paternity leave. You're extremely fortunate to have this time with your family. Do not squander it on an unfulfilling side hustle.

Enjoy your time with your child man. Can always start a side hustle later
Also side hustles donโt have to be sales related. You could Uber, coach a youth team, teach a night class, get paid to do handy work/paint for people, side hustles can be anything! Donโt limit yourself to things only in your profession.

Yeah be the best damn dad / spouse to your family.
I'd give anything for those 2 months back. They'll be 2 years old and telling you no before you know it.

This. Couldn't agree more.
Why do you think you need a side hustle?

Yeah I know, what else to say.. Freedom Of Expression has to be maintained:)
Donโt we all
I see everyone telling me no. To be clear, I work from home, and would be also looking for something on the side from home, sole goal is to give my child a good life, I don't own a house and my priority is to buy one, however with everyone telling me to chill I will definitely reconsider, thanks all.
Don't know your work situation but 90% of the time you're better off working harder at Job 1 than trying to find a side hustle.
Totally understand the desire to provide a good life for your family! Your child will be best served by you being present and being there. If youโre working a job that isnโt sufficient for your needs, you may want to consider finding something else rather than taking an additional role on. Congratulations on your little one! Enjoy.
The best way to provide a great life to your child is to show up. Doesnโt matter if you own or rent, drive a luxury vehicle or a Honda. They want you. Not what you have.
Enjoy whatever time you have off and get back to the grind and grind hard when you return.

This is the only time in life where getting pissed on is way more valuable than being pissed off. That beautiful kid doesnโt care where his crib is. Youโll get this perspective soon enough. Promise.
If you are looking for a side hustle I suggest bravado flex.
However talk to your significant other first, donโt want to put them on an island doing everything with the new born

Agreed- Bravado Flex is what i meant in my first post
@ssracerx as you can read from the group, the overwhelming sentiment is to focus on your newborn. I echo this as well.
If you want to add something else to your life equation, add something which helps your overall quality of life like exercise or something family related.

Uhm, what are you good at/interested in? Also try to enjoy all the time you have with the newborn because you'll wish you could have it back. Embrace the sleepless nights.
Raising a child is a god-tier side hustle imo
Gig work. I was doing Instacart, Doordash and Shipt when I was looking for my next adventure and now I do some deliveries after work or weekends when I feel like it.
Weather is nice. Mow lawns. Clean flowerbeds.
Focus on your child. Side hustles come and go but the time with your baby is fleeting.
You could always try for a fractional AE position. I think they offer it through Bravado too

Donโt give bad advice, donโt get downvoted. Itโs how every community works. Best ideas and comments go to the top, worst and most irrelevant to the bottom.
If you canโt take a silly downvote without getting worked up then there is another problem.

The only person worked up is you. Thanks for the definition of community. I've been waiting all my life for that deep insight.
Non-emotional response = worked up. Right.
Glad to see your name around here again. Always a pleasure.

You're the male equivalent of an ex-wife. The pleasure is all mine.
I have all your money and the house you bought for me? Thanks ๐
Negative, your attorney sucked.
This was fun. Do it again whenever you emerge from the bridge.
You tapped. I got all day. I'm retired.
Can I get a riddle at least? A quest?
.
Take care of your baby is an idea.
Ah, a bandwagon boy who wants to fit in. You're late to the show bud. I can appreciate you feeling the need to be part of this though. I definitely wouldn't have known what to do without your brilliant idea. Not too many comments here were a waste of time, yours definitely was though.
Enjoy the time while you can, before they turn on you! ๐คฃ
Enjoy the precious moments with your little one, that'll be the best side hustle (though requiring 24/7) of your lifetime.
At most, you get 18 summers with that kid. That's it. Think on that shit and try not to cry.
Hey @ssracerx I'm not a parent yet, so I have no words for whether or not taking on work right now is a good idea. That's quite literally none of my business. But I do have business that may be valuable to you. I've had a couple of cool contract opportunities through Bravado Jobs since december'22. Full transparency, this is a newer offering for Bravado so i'm definitely feeling the growing pains with the Bravado Jobs team as they go through staff changes, and feel the effects of the macroeconomic climate. Despite it being a bit of a messy contractor experience, I have secured a few good partnerships and intros through Bravado have helped me to establish a solid side hustle doing sales consulting and biz dev for smaller companies looking to scale.
But also- there's tons of projects on upwork that you can do to earn some money doing sales

Doesnโt hurt to check out your options! I started my side hustle when I was on maternity leave and it was the best decision! Not to mention you are in charge of how much you work it so you are not taking anything away from baby time! Message me, Iโd love to help out!
I'd like to message you but the app is for iPhone and I'm on android, is there another way?
You could check out glencoco.com - heard its decent if you're a half competent AE who knows how to prospect
hang out w your baby bro
