In addition to my job, developing my own sideline business has become the choice of more and more people at present. Sideline can bring more financial resources and security, at least care about the temporary outside, and life will not fall to the bottom. Behind the ability of sideline to make money is actually a combination of a series of important abilities. If a person wants to grow up comprehensively and systematically and maximize his own value, he needs to improve his personal ability from six dimensions. These important abilities are learning ability, influence, time ability, operation ability, writing ability and thinking ability. This book is a book about the ability to help people, especially young people, realize their own value after work. In this book, the author talks about 9 kinds of sideline earning skills and 11 kinds of realizing modes to help you quickly identify and establish your own earning channels and realize wealth appreciation.
the meaning of thinking is to constantly improve your cognition, so as to make more and more correct judgments and choices, and then focus on these important things.
In the era of "everything can slash", more and more people start slash careers and look for sideline businesses to make money. The word "slash youth" comes from The New York Times columnist Merrick? Albert's book "Double Occupations" refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" and choose to have multiple occupations and identities. According to the data of 2119 Mid-year Inventory Report of Working People, about 8.2% of working people have sideline income.
the timing of starting a sideline business is very important. It is best to do a good job in the main business and have more free time to start a sideline business. When you are familiar with your main business, it may take others eight hours to complete the same position and work content, while you can easily win it in four hours, and there are still four hours at your disposal. The more time you have left, the more time you will have to devote to sideline business. But your value comes from irreplaceability, and you can't always stay on selling your time and labor. While making money in your spare time, remember to learn, grow and improve yourself. We should also talk about choice in sideline business, and do more sideline businesses that can make us grow and continue to compound interest.
If you want to start a sideline business, you need to adjust your status well to seize external opportunities.
if you are familiar with your work, time is not a problem, so it is very suitable for sideline business. If you want to do sideline business and take up too much working time, then you need to jump to a relatively idle position, and then consider the simultaneous development of the main sideline business.
if a job with a main business has exhausted you, then the main business and sideline business together will ruin your health. Therefore, it is particularly important to do a good job in energy management. For example, strengthen the concentration of doing things to get twice the result with half the effort, have a reasonable rest and reduce emotional internal friction.
can what you are doing reflect your own value? If you can find the value of your main business, this sense of value does not need you to be full of enthusiasm for your work, but you know how to make yourself more valuable, and you can also find a valuable sideline. If you don't improve your own value and have the ability to solve problems, your main business and sideline business can't be done well. ?
first, completely break away from the steady and boring work and explore and manage your hobbies.
The process of career exploration is also the process of fulfilling dreams. However, please note that simple love is different from professionalism, and even has a completely different way of working and development. The hobby that is transformed into work may be very different from your previous experience, and there will be a huge sense of gap for a while.
Second, choose a sideline that is completely different from the thinking field of the main occupation, so as to improve your creativity and logical thinking ability, which can form a complementary exercise for your brain.
It should be noted that such a sideline requires strong subjective initiative, and requires individuals to actively participate in learning and trying. It is difficult for some people to get out of their own inherent thinking mode and refuse to change and accept different values and cultures.
Third, the combination of mental and physical labor sideline choice.
Fourth, write to promote learning, teach instead of practicing, and become the queen of the field. By consulting and speaking, I can split my own value and successfully realize my own time. In the anxiety of young people, online knowledge payment is popular, and many people are also improving their value through such efforts.
fifth, the last one is actually to devote your spare time to the job-related content of your main business, so as to better help you improve your business level and do your immediate work in a down-to-earth manner. After all, heaven rewards diligence, and opportunities are always reserved for those who have been prepared.
the first one is the skills you need in your current job, such as communication skills for customer service and marketing skills for sales.
The second is some basic skills, such as time management ability and reading ability.
The third skill is commonly used to earn money by sideline, such as copywriting, writing, speech and other skills.
first, whether there is enough time. Find out your current work efficiency and whether you can have enough leisure to support the sideline business.
second, it is whether one's energy and physical strength are enough to take care of others while completing the main business. Health is the foundation of everything. It is never worth the loss to blindly consume the energy of youth. It is better to take a good rest in your spare time.
third, what is the career prospect of the main business and whether there is enough room for improvement. It is everyone's dream to have a promising job, so many people choose a sideline, which is also related to the lack of room for improvement in their jobs.
First of all, we should understand what the four key words of thinking, attention, time and money mean respectively.
secondly, at time >; In the formula of money, everyone should try to work out their hourly wage.
again, in attention >; In the formula of time, time is precious, but it is meaningless if you don't add your own attention.
finally, thinking > Attention means that we can't keep our attention all the time, or we have to grasp more important things through the improvement of our own thinking.
they are:
product compound interest: continuous sharing of products that integrate knowledge and practice.
ability compound interest: more skills do not weigh you down, and you can master really useful skills.
"achievement routine" compound interest: find the underlying logic to do something.
the first ability, the ability to achieve goals. Only with assessment can we have the motivation to accomplish our goals.
the second ability, marketing ability. Real value promotion = inward ability+outward ability collection, and start to establish self-marketing awareness in the workplace. Many people are great and powerful, but they don't know how to market themselves.
the third ability, management ability. One person walks fast, but only a group of people can go further and seize all opportunities in the workplace that can improve management ability.
To put it simply, people with consumption-oriented thinking value buy buy's buying itself;
People with investment thinking clearly know that buying in buy buy is only the first step, and the return on investment after buying is the key.
I hope you sit in the right place and realize your real situation.
for example, when buying books, many people just buy books, print books and hoard books, but they can't finish reading a book. I used to like buying books and hoarding books when Dangdang was full of activities, and I foolishly suggested to myself that I had already read the book after buying it. This is a typical consumer thinker.
Now, I have never participated in any full reduction activities, but I just buy whatever books I want to read, which makes it easier to finish.
only by confirming what kind of thinking you are can you face your true self and find the beginning and internal driving force of change.
first, you must write brand-new content at the beginning. If it's the first book, you can write your own life experiences in the form of stories and put them in the first chapter or article.
Second, the whole book should have a detailed framework and table of contents, which lists the first-level and second-level titles, and each big chapter consists of 3-8 articles about WeChat official account or blogs accumulated at ordinary times.
Third, the postscript of the book must be new. You can write some recent developments or some new plans. Let everyone know more about you and have some expectations for your future life planning.
fourth, the content proportion of the whole book is composed of 1/3 articles accumulated in peacetime, 1/3 newly written articles and 1/3 content extracted from the course.
the first type of money-making model: low-threshold sideline; (Wechat business, distributing goods)
The second type of money-making model: service-oriented sideline; (Graphic design, PPT production, community operation)
The third type of money-making model: platform cooperative sideline; (selling courses or articles on the platform)
The fourth type of money-making model: expert sideline; (paid consultation)
The fifth type of money-making mode: self-operated sideline. (Self-employed)
Success is not achieved overnight. We need to consciously accumulate sideline abilities and resources in peacetime.
continue to share products that integrate knowledge and practice. Ability to compound interest: many skills do not weigh down, and master really useful skills. Compound interest of "achievement routine": find the underlying logic to make a thing.
81% of the time, devote yourself to what you are most interested in, and 21% of the time explore the boundaries of life.
Learn to use identity tags, ability tags and market tags to open up a sideline business to make money for yourself.
I also talked about the time management method, which is actually energy management. You have to keep your concentration to do an important thing in order to achieve something.
There is also the efficient learning method, which studies with purpose and questions.
In a word, we should learn from outstanding people to be highly strict and self-disciplined, to be goal-oriented in everything, and to act in order to achieve something. First of all, a self-disciplined person can achieve the future.
if a person always thinks too much and does too little, he will never achieve anything.
if there is no action, it hasn't changed for a long time. When reading a book, it's like beating chicken blood. After reading it, it's good to go back to the original without any action.
from now on, let's really take action together! Cheer for yourself! Let each of us walk on the road of change!
always on the road!
First of all, the first thing to have the ability to write good articles continuously is to set reasonable writing goals and give yourself enough motivation to continue writing. At the beginning, you should be able to write, or when you can't write, you will do more input to give yourself a chance to finish an article, which is the most basic goal.
If you write well, you can let others know your thoughts and link to interesting people. If you don't write well, it will be of great help to yourself. You will get stuck in the process of writing. Being stuck means that you don't know the ideas you want to express thoroughly enough, and you need to study again before you can write a complete article. To express it in a more fashionable sentence is: use output to force input.
If you want to learn writing now, it's really not too late, but you should think about why you want to learn writing. Think clearly before you act, and you will have some self-discipline in writing. If you know why you want to do something, when you can't stick to it, you will stick to it a little more for the reason that you started in the first place. No one would have thought that sometimes it is such a self-motivated word that makes us go to a distance that we can't think of.
Therefore, regarding writing, the first thing to do is to formulate a gradient "three-step goal" according to my real situation. I will share my "three-step goal" at that time with you:
The first step is to ask yourself to write 511 words every day. If you really can't write it, you can copy some beautiful sentences or try to describe your trip in words.
Step 2, ask yourself to write a proposition article of 1111 words every day. You can choose an article from your favorite WeChat official account or book, try to write one yourself after reading it, and then compare it to find out your own shortcomings.
Step 3, try to write 3 articles of 1,511-2,511 words every week, either on a topic or a book review. Because the previous two stages of practice have accumulated experience for you, at this stage, you will not have much problem writing an article. If you still can't write it, go back to the second step and continue practicing.
Secondly, the second point of having the ability to write good articles continuously is to dig up our writing materials from around us and establish a list library. In order to write a decent article, we should try our best to dig up the writing materials around us.
To build an inspiration list library, we should pay attention to the following three points:
First, as for the tools for building an inspiration list library, it is suggested to use cloud notes such as Youyun and Evernote. Computers and mobile phones can update synchronously, search and record inspiration at any time.
Secondly, regarding the framework of inspiration list library, I suggest you build a classification framework first. Personally, I classify them according to three categories: golden sentences, stories and methods. Every time I have inspiration, I will record it in categories.
Third, every time you can't write an article, consciously look for inspiration from the inspiration list.
For example, take stock of your past life stories and think about how to make your stories more interesting. For example, think about the methodology behind doing something, such as what factors are related to finding a good job?
For example, at the beginning, I was a columnist who wrote about parenting WeChat official account. In order to keep writing parenting articles, I began to read a lot of parenting books, and applied these methods to my son. Combining some previous mistakes and my own experience in parenting, I could write a high-quality parenting article.
For example, when I see an advertisement, I will ask myself, if it were me, how would I write the story behind the advertisement? For example, what efforts did you make to find yourself successful in running?
For example, how do I balance parenting and work? What method was used? For example, chatting with friends, how to change from eloquent to more listening and thinking now, can incorporate their own transformation process into writing materials. All these are the writing materials around us.
The above examples are all dimensions that I usually think of when collecting materials. Besides, I also have the habit of building an inspiration list library.
It is precisely because of the idea of writing that we have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. And because I collected these materials with great care, my writing inspiration became more and more, and my writing began to be read by people. At this stage, it seems that writing materials have helped me a lot. In fact, what is more important is that I have brought more dry goods to people around me by writing these materials from ordinary life.
for example, when I write
