Monday, October 2, 2023 –Working in an office on a salary should not in, anyway, stop anyone from running a side hustle business.
Juggling money-making exercises is the best thing everybody can start learning from anywhere.
Ideas to make extra money while attending to your normal duties in the office are plenty. You can start thinking about selling airtime within the building. Airtime is easy to carry along in your purse or handbag to your office.
When a colleague has run out of credit, you can cash in by selling them the cards. You will have helped save them time of running down-stairs looking for mobile credit.
Secondly, you could start selling them lunch by having it ready and warm in a warming basket. This can be done well when you have an assistant somewhere who can help serve lunchtime orders. After all, you are in a position to know what your colleagues like taking for lunch and prepare this early on orders.
Alternative to lunch
If you don’t want to be cooking food because its cumbersome and, perhaps, you do not have an assistant, consider pudding. Consider selling fruits to your colleagues. Well selected ripe oranges, mangoes, pineapples etc. would sell big within the office walls.
Ultimately, you will be selling these on an entire block and not just in your office walls alone.
Use your car to carry the food or and fruits in the boot rather than driving an empty car to and fro job. Use the car to make extra money every day.
A car was not just made for moving people around; a car was made for multipurpose. To drive yourself, family, do business, convert it into a mobile shop, sleep inside during emergencies etc.
Be careful with your side hustle
Last but not least, make sure what you are doing as a side hustle does not, in any way, interfere with your routine office work.
Any clash on duty could see you punished by your bosses who could be waiting for a small opportunity to hit you under the belt.
Some supervisors are sent from hell and do not like seeing any junior prosper either in office or privately. Avoid them if you notice that is the case in your office.
It is very easier for a supervisor to find fault in you more than you can do that to him or her. But still there is a way you can do business within secretly. Just use an outsider to supply the foodstuff and do not show any sign of connection with the business. Just be buying like any other person. Behave like you are a customer and catalyse the office to also buy.
There are so many ways of killing a stubborn running rat.
