How do you spend your Saturday mornings..what about a Side Project?

The aim of side projects is to discover if that idea/role/job and career you really love, can work in reality. If you think of this as a low-risk strategy you can explore without the fear of failure. You’ll also discover if this you love, continues to be loved, or becomes more routine once you have to do it over and over again. But you’ll also discover if there are elements of the project that you want to explore further and could become a revised project.

If you think of these ventures as side or pet projects either within or external to your professional activities, you may find they take on a life of their own, as you meet new people, move into different sectors and start to capitalize on new possibilities.

Some hints to get you started from Swissmiss:

1. Invest your life in what you love
2. Embrace enthusiasm
3. Complaining is not an option (either make it better, or let it go)
4. Trust and empower
5. Experiences > money
6. Surround yourself with like-minded people
7. Collaborate
8. Ignore haters
9. Make time to think and breathe
10. If an opportunity scares you, take it
11. Be someone’s eccentric aunt
