  I remember sitting in class, staring at the clock, counting the minutes until I could get back to working on my side hustle. The funny thing is, for the longest time, I didn’t even know it was a "side hustle." To me, it was just something I enjoyed doing—a way to make a little extra cash and build skills. But over time, it became more than just a side gig. It became my ticket to freedom. If you’re like me—juggling classes, assignments, and maybe even some backlogs (I know the pain of those, trust me)—the idea of turning your passion into a profitable business might feel a bit far-fetched. But here’s the thing: it’s not as impossible as it seems. And I’m living proof of that. So, how do you turn a passion into a side hustle that not only brings in some money but also sets you on the path to entrepreneurship? Let me break it down for you. Passion is Your Fuel, But You Need a Plan When I first started, I didn’t have a grand plan. In fact, like I mentioned in my previous blogs,...

  Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: A Journey into the Evil Mind by Christopher Berry-Dee is a fascinating book that dives into the minds of some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. The author, a criminologist and expert in criminal psychology, interviews psychopaths and violent criminals to understand what makes them tick. Here's a simple, point-wise summary of the book: Understanding Psychopaths: The book starts by explaining what psychopathy is. Psychopaths are people who lack empathy, meaning they can't feel for others the way normal people do. They are manipulative, charming on the surface, but extremely dangerous beneath. Psychopaths are not always violent criminals; some may blend into society, but they all share a disregard for others' feelings and safety. The Interview Process: The author shares his experiences of talking face-to-face with some of the most notorious killers. These include murderers, serial killers, and other violent criminals. He exp...

 Building a business while you're still in college? Yeah, it sounds like a wild ride. You’re balancing exams, classes, maybe even a part-time job, and somehow, in the middle of all that chaos, you want to start a business. If you're anything like me, that’s exactly the kind of challenge you’re craving. But here's the truth: it’s possible—and the best time to start is right now. Why College Is the Perfect Time to Start a Business You might be thinking, "How is this the perfect time? I’ve got assignments, exams, and maybe even 7 backlogs looming over me!" I get it. But college is actually one of the best environments for launching your entrepreneurial journey. Think about it—you’re surrounded by smart people, you’ve got access to resources (some of them free!), and most importantly, you have the freedom to take risks. You don’t have a mortgage to worry about or a family to support (most likely). If you fail, the stakes are relatively low. So why not take that leap n...

 If you’ve ever dipped your toes into entrepreneurship, you know that failure is part of the game. But here’s the twist: failing isn’t the bad guy. In fact, it’s the best teacher you’ll ever have. Let me take you through my own journey of learning to fail fast and why it’s a superpower you need to embrace. The First Gig That Crashed and Burned It all started when I took on my first "real" freelance gig. I’d been doing small jobs here and there, mostly helping friends out with logos or flyers. But this time, I’d landed a paid project through a referral. A legit project. I was pumped. The client? An IT professional who needed help organizing some data. Sounds simple, right? Well, not so much. I figured I’d wing it like I always did, but soon enough, things got messy. I didn’t have the proper tools or systems in place to handle the task efficiently. The deadline came, and… let’s just say it wasn’t my best work. I missed the deadline, and the client wasn’t happy. That sinking fee...

 Let me clear something up right off the bat: you don’t need stacks of cash or a fancy business degree to start your entrepreneurial journey. Trust me, I know. Starting out as a freelancer, with no experience and a college schedule to juggle, I realized that the idea of waiting until everything is “perfect” is one of the biggest myths out there. So, how do you actually start when you’ve got, well, almost nothing? Here’s my take, based on my own experience trying to build a business while also being a broke college student. The Power of Starting Small You’ve probably heard the phrase, “start small, think big.” It’s cliché for a reason—it’s true. When I first dipped my toes into freelancing, I didn’t have a high-end laptop or a polished office space. My first gig? Data entry. Was it glamorous? Nope. But it was a start. And the beauty of starting small is that you get to learn while you earn. I transitioned from data entry to doing things like making logos and flyers for people, even ...

 Let me say this: juggling college and a side hustle is hard . Anyone who tells you otherwise? They’re either superhuman or lying. But if you’re anything like me—constantly wanting to do more—you’ve probably already found yourself in that boat, trying to balance it all. So, let me walk you through how I, a regular college student with way too much on my plate, managed to keep things (mostly) together. The Freelance Beginnings It all kicked off with freelancing. The first thing I tried was data entry. Not exactly the most glamorous gig, but hey, I needed to get my foot in the door, right? I was working for this IT guy—nothing too crazy—just filling in spreadsheets and all that. I did it for a bit, made some cash, but quickly realized it wasn’t for me. I wasn’t excited about it, and honestly, it felt more like a chore than anything else. That’s when I thought, “Why not try something creative?” So, I started making logos, banners, and flyers. But get this—I didn’t even use proper desi...
