In fact, your phone is most likely sitting in your hands while you read this post.
With the development of the gig economy, millions of workers are using their phones to earn additional money. According to Statista data, the majority of gig economy workers are professionals who work full-time while managing their gig as a side hustle, so if you have a job but want more than what it has to offer, you're not alone.
Aside from extra money, one of the most significant benefits of entering the gig economy is not the money itself. It is the overwhelming sense of job happiness, meaning, and fulfillment that most employees do not receive from their primary occupations.
Often, we find ourselves working in a career or for an employer just because it pays the bills, or because it is required of us by our family. So we wind up choosing job decisions that are not in line with our inner beliefs, and we spend a third of our day (if not more) doing something that jeopardizes our well-being and prevents us from living our lives with passion and purpose.
That's not how you want to live the rest of your life, is it?
