What is a side hustle?

How do I become an official business?

These are all questions I had when I founded LE Consulting. The answers aren’t immediately clear and
truthfully, they’re not the same for everyone. However, there are some basic guidelines.

A money making pursuit is typically defined as a side hustle when it (a) is not your primary source of income,
(b) is not your only source of income, and (c) typically generates a decent amount of revenue. Examples?
An Etsy store, Creative Market business, small fine art shop, second-shooter photographer pursuit, or
part time consulting business (that you manage yourself) are all examples of side hustles. It is important
to note that many of these things can also be your full time job - it all depends on factors like a, b, and c
above. Do you know how to classify your business pursuit or idea?

If so, write the name and classification here: ____________________________________________________________________

Now that you know what your business pursuit currently is, what are your goals? Remember, goals should
be S.M.A.R.T.: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely. Set (at least) one goal in each of the
following categories: financial, marketing, clients, business maintenance, work-life balance.

Financial: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Marketing: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Clients: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Business Maintenance: __________________________________________________________________________________________

Work-Life Balance: _______________________________________________________________________________________________
