Let’s get real for a second—starting a business or side hustle is a big deal. Whether you’re diving headfirst into a passion project or just trying to bring in some extra cash, it’s easy to think, “I’ll wait until I’m making more money before I invest in tools like 17hats.” But here’s the thing: don’t wait. Waiting to establish a good foundation for your business can be a pretty big mistake.
According to an article in USA Today, by 2027, a whopping 83 million Americans will perform some sort of freelance work– aka, have a side hustle. That’s a lot of people juggling multiple jobs, passions, and responsibilities. And guess what? The ones who succeed aren’t just winging it—they’re laying down a solid foundation from the get-go. That’s where 17hats comes in.
