Personally not a fan of either Hustle culture or the fact that it's necessary for so many people to work more than one job just to get by

I feel like side hustling says it's okay for our main hustles to underpay us?

I think one of the things with getting shit done with ADHD is that you kind of constantly have to parent yourself into doing stuff. And sometimes you'll just like, not do it. And sometimes the trick that worked last week doesn't work this week so you have to do something else. It's like, ongoing. It's not to say you can't get there but it's like, you're dragging a toddler, who is also you, along with you.

I hate when someone is like ‘I lost my job and did this to keep me afloat’ and then mentions how they had a spouse or someone else supporting them, at least enough to not be evicted. Overall this feels grossly privileged.

My Partner has an Etsy for her crochet goods. The amount of time that needs to go into marketing or money that needs to go into ad pushing, along with the low prices and long amount of time it takes to actually make the products... I don't know how anyone could do it as a side hustle rather than a way to recoup costs of a hobby.

I did not expect TFD to go for a side hustle video... As many people already pointed out, it should not be necessary to work two jobs in order to survive and the fact that is being so normalized in the US (I'm in Europe and this is not that common AT ALL) is worrying. As for Daniella, wouldn't side hustling as a software engineer (!!!) pay them more?

There's no shortcut to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it. I’ve been seeking financial advices for a few years and I’ve acquired over 3M dollars. Start early to create other sources of income so you don't suffer in retirement or old age

Working more jobs to hopefully catch up is taking a step forward and 20 steps back.

I don’t want to side hustle at all.

I'm kind of 'eh' when it comes to using side hustle money to pay off debt. This could work if you're maxed out at your current career. But the guest was a software engineer, and even in Canada (the profession pays less in Canada than it does in the US), their time would have been better spent increasing skills for a higher paying job. That's what I did, and am on track to pay off my student debt MUCH faster than if I kept my old job/income and made little money freelancing starting out. Wanting to start a business seems separate from the pay down debt goal.

I appreciate she says not every hobby needs to be monetized. It is okay to try to do so, but know where to set boundaries and dial back. Her full time job being 32 hr/wk, as well as being remote (saved commute time) also frees up time to do a side hustle. A salary position that is 32 hr/wk is highly coveted, but working part time at an hourly wage would make it like doing two part time jobs with less stability.

Now that I've finished the video, I'm feeling a bit confused. I feel like I didn't really learn anything. I have ADHD as well, but even I feel like the guest's answers were a bit rambling, convoluted, or otherwise unclear. The video has concluded and I feel like I don't have any more insight into what approach to take for earning extra money.

Never in my life did I think I would hear Chelsea quote Lil Wayne 😂😂😂😂 Absolutely excellent. Real g’s do in fact, move in silence like lasagna 👏🏽👏🏽

This video interview gives the impression that you have to monetize your hobbies or every skill. However not all skills are monetizable. Even if a few, the return on invest isn't worth it. The commentary and guest selection is kinda strange. 🤔😯

Ya'll, we can't keep begging TFD to have more neurodivergent people then be critical of the manifestation of their neurodivergency.

So basically, have a tech career and a spouse that pay the bills for you...

Starting an Etsy store to liquidate my rock and roll memorabilia, then I'm going to take that money and invest it. Thanks for all you do, Chelsea!

The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing. This way you get to have your saving intact and then live comfortably off the revenue coming in from your investments. Financial freedom is possible, you just need to know what to do and when to do it. I am a living testimony.

Yeah as someone with ADHD I could 100% tell she was not on medication, I got kind of stressed because she seemed like how I feel when I have forgotten my medication.

I tried to be a full time eBay seller during the pandemic, but it didn't really work out because I think I'm one of those people who has to have an actual job to get up and go to or I'm just not motivated to get up in the morning. I have a hard time working at home, on my own if I don't have a boss who's going to get mad at me for not showing up or coming in late. I need the external motivation. I think a lot of people are like that. I think it could maybe a good opportunity for a type of life coach. Maybe there could be life coaches who specialize in helping people like this, who want to run independent home businesses. It certainly would've been popular as hell during the pandemic lockdowns. That's for sure! They could offer a service where they call you and basically harass you to get out of bed every morning and help you to come up with goals that you're required to complete by a certain time. This could be a good business idea for people. (And I don't have ADD, btw.)

This interview doesn't feel like a good fit for this channel

I hate hustling. Like I've had three jobs in four years because I don't want to be working multiple jobs.

I don't have a skill for selling or marketing myself for a side hustle, but I do need another job, even just temporarily. Issue is, my current job is smack-dab in the center of the day, 8 to 5. I'd love to work part time at a call center from home, since I already work from home, but doing training seems to be impossible with my job standing in the way. I don't want to do any job that involves extensive driving, either, both for the sake of increased chances of an accident, and for because gas is damn near $5 a gallon here, and rising. Any money I'd have made would be sucked back out again. So, I'm considering possibly retail, an old "friend" I'd rather not return to, but I need to get some kind of additional employment. Maybe I'll find somewhere that can hire me for an evening shift and I don't need to come in before at least 5:30 (ideally 6), even for training. My current job gives raises and frequent promotions, but I only started in March and it's too early to ask for anything else.

I work two full-time jobs to get by. I'm hoping to take anything leftover after paying off student debt and invest what I can. I don't buy much in material things, but I want to save for a home.

Thank you for this post. It was not only informative and useful but being that I struggle with similar mental health issues, it made me feel like there’s hope… that “it’s not just me!” feeling was needed today I appreciate how REAL this was and how open and honest she was We’re ALL so different in how we operate in life and a lot of people forget that 😢 So thank you again for this content Thank you Daniela for your honesty and courage to share your personal life with the world I was floored when you said VENEZUELAN 😮 Me TOO !! ADHD me too!! Mood issues, therapy, burn out, financial instability all of it I’m navigating out of it all as well by removing most of what I was taught and leaning on sources like TFD 🎉 THANK YOU BOTH

The student debt Sh*t it's traumatic...I got PTSD from that. Horrible experience, mixed with a horrible student experience so...yeah them calling everyday, which is borderline criminal.

I usually love these videos but I couldn’t make it to the end. The responses were all over the place and didn’t match the video title. Chelsea’s questions were great but the answers were rambling and unfortunately unrelatable

I made a $500 profit today on my baking 😊 2 full days of work on my days off from my regular job, but nobody said I was gonna be easy lol just possible!

I am 20 minutes into this interview and am very confused as to why you chose to interview this person. I do not feel she has offered valuable insight into what it takes to be a true entrepreneur, and to be frank it seems like Chelsea feels the same way.

Normally I enjoy these interviews, but this one is not for me.

Here’s a tip, for people who are crafty, and wanna make some pocket money on the side with a little less effort: go to the thrift store, and buy the clothes you think no one will want. The shirts with holes, the sweaters with holes, even things that are stained. Take em home, and patch them up; remove the stained bit, and replace it with a patch. Stitch up the holes, patch up things. Then, resell them. The thrift store price, plus 5 dollars, or whatever price you feel is good. It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s more ethical than flipping thrift store goods straight up. You’re contributing to the market, and not just flipping. It’s more useful, and sewing is a good skill to have.

Getting Money is an issue that everyone has in order to live a better and more luxurious life. Life was difficult for me until I began trading bitcoin and am now earning a lot of money even with the current crash happening in the trading market, I still make gains using a better strategy.

No one is taking about the cat meowing at 6:05, what about their side hustle?

Thank you so much to Daniella for her story and her insights! This is very motivating for me to dive more into it. P.S. The music at the end was WAAAAYYY too loud!! Or the speaking parts were too low, anyways that scared the bejesus out of me.

SUCH GOOD TIMING, i'm just starting to look into a few new sources of income for the summer!

If you are in a knowledge Job, I would suggest to invest this side hustle time in upskilling and picking up interesting projects. That could be a lot more value able to your employer or other competitors

I think she is not very insightful, i have 2 buisnesses aside my main day job and though i could learn tips and tricks at least but, this video gave me nothing really. I think the questions were clear but the answers were just not helpfull.

I love this channel so much thank u

There's a reason why I keep saying I'd watch the video fully to learn from it, but keep on being unable to stomach continuing it. A lot of the comments basically sum it up perfectly. Was pretty disappointed.

What were the names she dropped? Canva, teachable, convertkit, and what else?

I plan to turn my detailing businness to a side gig when I get a job after I get my finance degree. I like doing it and I have almost no overhead so I control how much I want to work.

Thank you for this video, I've been following this channel for years and I love the content. With this particular video I feel so represented - software engineer, ADHD, Queer, Latina. I've been dabbling with side jobs for a few years and I just really found this content to be helpful

Each side-hustle and/or talent a person chooses is done so by their own comfortability within that skill set. If a person can judge another by their person afflictions and turn around and complain or state that they can do "it" better needs to prove it to themselves. The folks that negate what goes well for others will always fail as long as they are single-minded, lack tact and are so blind they cannot recognize success.

I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income. Unfortunately having a job doesn’t mean security rather having different investment in the real deal

I really enjoyed this, having a multiply ND person is great! It's impressive and inspiring that she's able to make good money from side hustles. I was especially happy when she pointed out that perspective towards Upwork and Fiverr. My gut instinct about those sites being saturated is correct, it seems. Which leads to the thought: "Well, holy crap, I'm competing with so many people." It is kind of at odds when she encourages us to give ourselves credit. My "skill" of writing isn't as advanced as the 100's, 1000's, 10's of thousands, 100's of thousands (which I'm not exactly sure if that's the correct way to phrase that anyways) of people who have experience and have honed greater skills. The information about following accounts on Twitter and joining FB groups is useful. Facebook groups are my life blood (I need to diversify socially 😅) I've received so much support and so many resources through a variety of groups, not just disability-centered ones. I'll have to check Twitter for actual job opportunities. I still need to find direction on "leveraging your network." I don't say this to complain, but as an autistic person, we don't have access to the same social skills as other ND's, given that a social deficit is a core aspect of the disorder. I like the idea of joining niche groups as a starting point. Thank you for this awesome episode, and thank you for the representation, it matters. Also if anyone here is autistic and/or ADHD, feel free to join this group on Facebook: "Autism and ADHD jobs and advice"(facebook.com/groups/413092093011294)

Very motivating! Thank you both!

29:55 Real G’s move in silence like lasagna. You gotta say the whole thing 😂

Thanks for this video. Im a full time nurse and thinking of learning to code to do it freelance on the side.. and if it takes off and I like it and it pays well then I may be leaving nursing.. cause the burnout is creeping in. I have ADHD and I'm Autistic.. both diagnosed at age 36 only a couple of months ago.

I don't understand the fussing in the comments section. I appreciate this video as a single mom who needs to find information on this topic from a source I can trust instead of some douchey "How I Made a Million Dollars in One Month" kind of video. Is it messed up that I make more than minimum wage and work full time and still can't afford to get by? YES. But recognizing that, even protesting that fact, won't feed my child today.

I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mr. Keith Lyle

So insightful, loved this episode:)

Poshmark takes a 20% cut. I heard Mercari is 13%. Anyone know if that’s true? It’s also what Google says. Looking for someone who has used both, and their preference

Her side gigs earn more than my day job does a year. Lol. Fun.

Commenting for the algorithm and loved this interview!

This ain't it Chelsea.. still love your content overall tho.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I use alarms for things I have to do daily at work and I have a running list of stuff I think of and an actual daily to do list. So I have a realistic list while having space to write down all the things I think I need to do. I appreciated my time doing multiple jobs because it got me through college and gave me space/time to figure out what I don’t want to do 😆. I recommend it to those starting out their careers so they can try a little of multiple things and they have a stream of income when they decide to quit a job/interest they realize they don’t want to do.

So...side hustle...I have one that I started pre-pandemic to pay off all our credit card and student loan debt. The pandemic really changed our gas and food spending, so our debt repayment really sped up. Now...we are debt free and using the side hustle to build up a really nice savings. Recently, I've been thinking I'd like more of my time back. I work (between both jobs) 52-58 hours per week. I'm worried now that I can't get weened off that sweet, sweet "extra" money, and am on a hamster wheel of work, work, work.

This was such a nothing burger. Really missed specifics, numbers, guests that are prepared for the interview etc

Thank you for this video!

I hate people who resell thrift shop goods at higher prices elsewhere. You're taking limited, affordable clothing for people and making it inaccessible to them in order to profit. That's not a side hustle I'd recommend or be proud of.

The ending music is much louder than the talking. Be careful.

Where's the link to the consolidated loan scam video?

Who are we?? If she has a partner everything is easier.. bio polar, gender confused..fired from a job, goes to trips instead of saving and falls for a scam.. who did you invite??

I would advise that side hustle doesn't have to be all about the $$$, honing and developing your skill set and brand will pay dividends in the future especially if you live in the West. Your best bet is take your skills and find a job/business that you can work remotely and live in a lot cost of living area. I know a Spanish language teacher who worked in a High School and teaches personal lessons online as a side hustle. She eventually move to Mexico and continue to teach personal lessons. She now have the benefit of low cost of living of Mexico with a decent amount of income from Spanish teaching lessons for her western clients. It took her over 10 years to develop her brand and gather enough clientele. Most of her new clients are from referrals.

This episode is really great. I also have adhd and a major mood disorder, and things are exacerbated. This is encouraging and helpful

Thanks for this one, I feel more hopeful and motivated to create a side hustle for myself

Love the video! Just wanted to point out that in the description there's misgendering. Daniella's pronouns are they/them (per their twitter) so maybe that should be revised :)

Oh god that outro was _WAY_ to loud

Ugh tired of this topic. It’s been beat to death since Covid.

By the way, this was a great segment! Highly informative, interesting and didn't even need verification from the majority" figures out there to whether or not a person can succeed in a world created for us, by people we don't even know. Learning how to create our own world and earning our own money is the goal and that message was made!!

Investments are the stepping Stones to success especially if you been guided by a professional

I’m confused, did she say $1500 a month in healthcare? Or a year ? Huh. Surely not. *screams in european*

“Move in silence like Lasagna” hmmmmmm

People it's not for the rest of your life. Set a goal and more importantly a time frame, work your guts out if you're able and be done. Two jobs allowed me to buy my house, leave the country, purchase my first and second new car, and make over $100k in the deep south in my early 20s. Now my time is more important to me than anything else. It's time to cut expenses and enter a new industry that allows more normal hours to spend with my family. Only you know what your time is worth.

Thanks for the bipolar representation! 🥰

Great content but can't get over how she talks down to people, is condescending as hell and jokes just bad and don't land

This comment section is giving lowkey ableism.
