Alright, let’s talk about that financial tightrope we all seem to be walking on. You know, the one where you’re trying to balance paying bills with also trying to save for the future, all while trying to have a life in between. It’s like being in a constant tug-of-war with your money, and it often feels as though you are destined to always be one step behind. If my finances were a Bollywood movie, it would be one of those dramatic thrillers where the hero is constantly battling against the odds, and just barely managing to make ends meet.
My bank account used to resemble a chaotic bazaar (market), with money flowing in and flowing out faster than I could keep track of, and I was always left wondering how I would make it all work. I was constantly looking for ways to earn more, but more than that, I was looking for a way to achieve financial stability and also save for a secure future.
My existence was like that old Indian saying, “Aamdani kam, kharche zyada” – earnings are less, and expenses are more, which is a humorous way of highlighting the daily struggles of most people. I was working hard, doing my best, but it seemed as though I was always falling short, and I was desperately seeking a better solution, a more effective approach. I knew I needed something that would help me get out of this financial rut, and I knew I needed to do something differently to reach a new level of financial independence. I needed a plan, a strategy, and I needed it fast!
My quest for financial freedom began, as most good things do, with a mix of desperation, a few sleepless nights, and a whole lot of good old-fashioned Indian curiosity. I wasn’t trying to discover some complex financial secret; I was simply trying to figure out how I could both pay my bills, and also build my savings. I needed a solution that was both practical and effective, a path that would not only allow me to make ends meet, but would also allow me to create a solid financial future. I was tired of the financial tightrope, and I was looking for a more stable and secure way to live.
My “aha” moment came while I was helping my bua (paternal aunt) with her small catering business. She was amazing in the kitchen, and she could cook all sorts of delicious meals, but she was struggling to get her name out there, and she didn’t have a system in place to manage her customer orders. It was as if she was trying to sail a ship without a map or a compass, and she was feeling overwhelmed and lost. She was struggling to grow her business and she was struggling to reach the right clients. It was when I was trying to find a solution for her, that I stumbled upon the secret that transformed my finances completely.
And that’s when I realized, that there was a huge demand for helping local businesses to grow their online presence. There were countless businesses, just like my bua’s, that had the skills, and the passion, but didn’t have the knowledge or the resources to reach their full potential online. And that’s where my side hustle was born. I didn’t set out to become a marketing genius, I simply wanted to use my skills to help others, and in doing so, I stumbled upon a very profitable opportunity.
My side hustle was simple yet effective: I started offering digital marketing services to small, local businesses. I was helping them with everything from building their websites, to creating their social media strategies, and even helping them design their logos and marketing materials. And by helping them grow their businesses, I was also growing mine! I was helping these businesses reach a wider audience, and they were paying me a handsome fee for it, and this was all done using just my phone, laptop and a strong internet connection. It was a win-win situation, and I was finally feeling like I was taking control of my financial future.

The results were nothing short of remarkable. Not only was my side hustle paying all my bills, but it was also allowing me to put away a significant amount of money into my savings account. It was like I had finally discovered a secret treasure, a way to have my cake and eat it too! My bank balance went from that constant state of flux, to a more steady, secure and comfortable level, and it felt as though I was finally building the life that I had always dreamt of. It was a truly transformative experience and it was finally time for my bank account to do a full on celebratory dandiya dance!
Now, I’m not going to pretend that this was all smooth sailing. It took a lot of hard work, dedication, and perseverance to get to where I am today. I had to learn the ropes of online marketing, I had to build relationships with clients, and I had to constantly improve my skills, and in doing so, I was growing as a professional and as a business owner. But the reward was definitely worth every ounce of effort. It was also about seeing the positive impact that I was making on other businesses.
The key here wasn’t about finding some magic trick or some secret loophole. It was simply about understanding a real need in the market, and then creating a service that was both effective and valuable. It was about combining my skills with my passion, and building a business that was both personally fulfilling and also financially rewarding.
