I believe that at the end of my tale each of you will find within you the motivation and specific inspiration for taking on something similarly on-the-side during your current profession whether you are a freelancer, a new employee, or an experienced corporate manager, or even if you are directing your own NGO! 10 out of 10 career coaches even recommend creating your own side project.
How then does our side project differ from a mere hobby or education? In short, it has the parameters of a project, i.e. we are not doing the activity randomly or just trying something without a target. But we have in our heads (and then ideally also on paper or in a project tool) an idea about its concrete results, the steps which lead to them, a timetable, expenditures (of time, people, and finances).
= You have moved from the zero point, sales have more or less started to move, even if they are not paying your bills, but it has given you the hope that at least you will get your investment back, but maybe you feel like a) improving your product/service, or b) developing further
These doubts are normal, and in the moments when they come it is good to pull out of a drawer (or open a file on your computer) your answers to 4 important questions that I recommend you write down somewhere before starting your project:
I think that it is not necessary to do any super-sophisticated analysis in this respect. You should rather try to visualize and clearly name your expectations. Then you should go back to it in a moment of doubt about whether or not you should continue.
I do something in between: I work for some part of my year in Central America, but I ideally try to devote 1/3 -1/2 of my time to pure creation of new side projects, or developing existing ones. The Career DYARY was actually created at home in Jizerka on Jablonec, but it grew into its final form somewhere between Len and San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua), Antigua (Guatemala), El Tunco (El Salvador), Oaxaca and Tijuana (Mexico) and a bit in San Diego (USA)
I wrote about finding your passion and flow in one of my previous blogs in connection with AI and the automation of labor. I come back to it in this new context to say that we alone are responsible for finding what we enjoy in work and what fulfills us.
Then, when you have all the pluses and minuses neatly arranged before your eyes, do not forget to add your side project to your CV and/or LinkedIn and/or other professional portfolio. Specifically it is good to describe:
There are many variations on how to begin your own side project, how to develop it, and what to take out of it, which is great. So, I am crossing my fingers for you in hopes that your little projects and side jobs bring you joy overall, even through all the up & down phases of their realization.
Take heart in the fact that at the end of all of your projects (whether successful or unsuccessful, whether paid or unpaid, finished or unfinished) you will always harvest: new experiences, new contacts, and new findings about yourself!
d) The photos are from January 2018 where I was working on my career DYARY in Mexico. Here I pull back the curtain a bit for a view of the background based on the tips of Austin Kleon and his book Show Your Work!
These books are not the three medina books that everyone knows about; rather they are the books that are used alongside the medina books that are used in the Medina University, these books a wide variety of topics like phrase usage of verbs and terms, Fiqh, Dictation, Hadith, Reading in which the 3 Medina Books by themselves do not cover.
Many readers write to me asking about the key to CPTSD recovery. As I wrote in Complex PTSD, I think there are many keys. Here are the top ten practices of my ongoing recovery. Thankfully the amount of time I need to dedicate to them has steadily decreased over the years.
I use the words "practices" to emphasize that there are no fast fixes, singular solutions or final arrivals in CPTSD recovery. As unfair as it often seems, recovering is ninety percent perspiration and ten percent inspiration.
I am often tickled by the irony that a good cry leaves me feeling stronger and more confident. For decades, my tears dissolved my fear and confusion, and left me with a clear and hopeful sense of direction.
When I was 29, I was devastated when I saw my beautiful black Labrador, George, die under the wheels of a car. George! How I wished back then for someone who felt as safe and comforting as him. Miraculously, the overwhelming pain of his brutal death was washed away by a monsoon of tears.
When I was 39, my mother and my best dog, Herbie, died in short succession. My grieving for Herbie, who unconditionally loved me for ten years, totally eclipsed my grieving for Helen. In the heart of my mourning, I wrote this poem.
I well up now with tears of gratitude for Herbie, my high-grade social lubricant. Kind people were continuously drawn to this boddhisatvic dogthis mottled cattle dog of alluring homeliness. Herbie helped me many times to connect easily with her admirers.
