How My Side Hustle Allowed Me to Quit My Job and Make $75/Hour From Home

Bookkeeping

If you’re looking for a great way to make money from home, a bookkeeping side hustle could be a great option.

Today I wanted to share a personal interview from someone who went from zero experience, to working as a bookkeeper on the side of his day job, to quitting his job to do bookkeeping full time!

I live in the Chicago suburbs with my wife, we have our first child on the way! Before bookkeeping I was a 3rd grade teacher. I did this for 4 years and really enjoyed the kids, but realized early on that teaching was not my passion.

Tell me a little background about yourself. What did you do before you started bookkeeping?

When I realized teaching wasn’t my passion, I knew I wanted to do something completely different if possible. I also knew that I wanted much more flexibility in my work schedule as, apart from summer, teachers have very little schedule flexibility.

How did you learn about bookkeeping as a side hustle or career option? What attracted you to bookkeeping specifically?

How did you initially get started in bookkeeping?

I initially got started my second or third year of teaching, so that would be somewhere between 2016-2017. I was still teaching full time and would continue to teach full time until June of 2018.

During this time, I was mostly doing the training to become a bookkeeper and making sure that it was something I enjoyed and could be passionate and skilled in.

I got started basically just through finding out about BBL (Bookkeeper Business Launch) and then doing research on it to make sure it was legitimate. I then talked to lots of family and friends about it as jumping from a full time job to starting your own business is not a trifling matter of course!
