📘 What We’ll Cover
🧠 PART 1: SIDE HUSTLE WORKSHOP (Led by Azia)
We’ll start the evening with a 20-minute walkthrough of common side hustle paths, followed by a guided worksheet + Q&A to help you think through your own next step.
How Side Hustles Actually Work
• A visual breakdown of side hustles by effort vs income
• A second breakdown by time involved vs income potential
• Understanding the trade-offs before you start
Active vs Passive Income
• Active income (hourly, project-based, services)
• Passive income (templates, digital products, investing basics like dividends & capital gains)
• What’s realistic early on... and what’s not
Real Case Studies (Step-by-Step)
We’ll walk through how someone would start from scratch in:
• UGC creation
• Virtual assistant work
• Social media management
Worksheet Session
You’ll work through a short case study:
“If I were to start this side hustle, what would my first steps be?”
🔄 “Okay… Let’s Say You Made Money. Now What?”
This is where the tax education comes in.

Once you understand how side hustle income is made, we’ll walk through how to handle it properly, whether you have a 9–5, are freelance, or both.

• Why most people rush this decision too early
• How to keep things simple unless there’s a clear reason not to
