How to Make More Money According to a Pro

INTJ ("The Architect")

You’re analytical, introverted, and quick to learn new topics that interest you. While you enjoy working on big problems, you’re not a people person and you’re fiercely independent. One of your core strengths is to take complex topics and turn them into actionable strategies. You’d thrive as a business consultant, technology consultant, or freelance writer.

INTP ("The Logician")

As a Logician, you’re creative, full of ideas, and innovative -- a perfect match for many side hustles. At the same time, while you love finding solutions to problems, you don’t necessarily want to work on the nitty-gritty of turning your vision into reality. Plus, as an introvert, you’d rather avoid wasting time on small talk. Look for side hustles such as innovation consulting, starting a software business, and tutoring.

ENTJ ("The Commander")

You’re a natural leader with a healthy dose of confidence. You strongly believe in your goals and have a knack for thinking strategically and holding a long-term focus. With these characteristics in mind, some of the top side hustles for you are executive coaching, corporate strategy consulting, and confidence coaching.

ENTP ("The Debater")

ENTPs are known for thinking big and questioning the status quo. You’re someone who knows how to connect different ideas to prove your point and has a great sense of humor. You could make it big as a sales consultant, speaking coach, Substack newsletter writer, or podcaster.

INFJ ("The Advocate")

With a deep sense of idealism and integrity, you’re passionate about leaving a lasting impact. You’re big on uplifting and helping others and you value meaningful relationships with those around you. Why not make your side hustle your mission? Some top ideas for you are non-profit consulting, photography, and life coaching.

INFP ("The Mediator")

You’re imaginative and empathetic to the core with a strong need for creative self-expression. Your side business can be a great source of purpose for you, but make sure you take action and actually get it off the ground. After all, this personality type often stays stuck in daydreaming rather than taking steps to fulfill their dreams. A few side hustle ideas include freelance copywriting, marketing consulting, or designing your own jewelry.

ENFJ ("The Protagonist")

As a popular leader with a great sense of purpose, you want to help those around you. And while you speak up for what you believe in, you always do so without coming off as pushy. Because you light up when you help others excel, side hustles like leadership coaching, career coaching, self-esteem coaching, and wedding planning will be right up your alley.

ENFP ("The Campaigner")

Outgoing and friendly, you tend to be the life of the party, while you value deep and meaningful connections with others. Because you have many ideas and interests, you might find it hard to focus on one side hustle idea. But remember, even if you decide on a side business today, you can always expand to other areas in the future. Side businesses where you get to use your people skills and creativity are likely to motivate you the most. You can use your core strengths by building a side hustle as a freelance social media manager, public relations consultant, freelance journalist, or charisma coach.

ISTJ ("The Logistician")

You thrive when you’re working towards a goal, especially if you get to do it on your own. Rules and guidelines are important to you and between facts and emotions, you always choose facts. Where you really shine is in making things run smoothly and efficiently and building long-term, consistent projects. That’s why you should consider app development, real estate investing, productivity coaching, or management consulting as side hustles.

ISFJ ("The Defender")

Even though you’re introverted, you love connecting with others. Working with people brings you a lot of joy and you go above and beyond to exceed their expectations. You could even be called a perfectionist, which makes side hustles such as virtual assistance, customer happiness consulting, relationship coaching, and interior design some of the top options for you.

ESTJ ("The Executive")

People often come to you for advice and guidance and you’re a born community builder. You’re a project manager at heart and your superpower is to turn complex challenges into simple steps. That’s why your side hustle ideas should involve some level of organization and structure. For instance, you’d stand out as a freelance project manager, freelance community manager, team-building consultant, or financial planner.

ESFJ ("The Consul")

As someone who is practical, well-organized, and social, you’re pretty much made for a side hustle where you get to work with people. And because you enjoy bringing value to those around you, starting a side business as a health coach, Airbnb host, employee motivation consultant, or HR consultant can feel especially rewarding.

ISTP ("The Virtuoso")

With your love for making things in mind, any side hustle where you get to use your practical skills is an ideal fit for you. You don’t flourish if things get too structured and you love the independence that a business can offer you. Look at side hustles such as starting a TaskRabbit or Thumbtack account, graphic design, or setting up your own repair shop.

ISFP ("The Adventurer")

You have an eye for arts and beauty and you live for creative freedom. A side hustle can give you a creative outlet if you’re not already feeling fulfilled in your 9-5. And as you don’t like to plan too much ahead (say, for your retirement), a side gig can bring in a well-needed income. For instance, start an Etsy e-commerce store, become a freelance creative director or an image consultant, or sell your illustrations online.

ESTP ("The Entrepreneur")

A side hustle can lead to a lot of excitement in your life. You’re a leader-type with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. And as you’re not a big fan of rigor or rules, stepping into the role of a business owner can be extremely fulfilling for you. Some of the top business ideas include freelance sales representative, branding consultant, and starting your own e-commerce business.

ESFP ("The Entertainer")

You know how to throw a party and you’re always there for those who need you. While you’re not particularly interested in repetitive tasks, you love working with people and making them happy. With your impeccable aesthetics, a side business such as an event planning business, a fashion brand, or a tour guiding business is an excellent choice for you.

Ready to take your creativity to the next level? Here are tips for building a dreamy creative life!

Schedule creative time. If you have a 9 to 5, schedule time in the morning, after work or on weekends to explore your craft or run your business. Marking your calendar and making time to be creative will help you make sure you don’t let the chance slip by – the more you do, the more you discover your talents and build your expertise.

Don’t try to do it all. “When you're running your own business, you're essentially forced to wear all the hats,” says Dani. Being a small business owner can look like a one-woman show. Don’t try to do it all yourself. Instead, focus on what you love and let experts do the rest. Whether TurboTax experts prepare your tax return or you do it yourself, they guarantee their calculations are always 100% accurate, or they’ll pay any penalties.

Collaborate with others. Host a regular creative hang with friends, tap into a local creative community, find people online who you relate to who might want to collaborate on a project or promotion. This is a great way to get the word out about your unique offerings. Dani has turned her fashion business into an interior design and print business, collaborating with brands on wallpaper, shoe design, and more.

Don’t let failure stop you. Mistakes often lead to breakthroughs. Experiment with new ideas and techniques, and view setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. You’ve got this! Don’t feel like you have to reach perfection before making the next move. Small business life is a journey of doing and learning. “I learned not to limit myself in what I think I can and can't do,” says Dani. “I always wanted to pursue interiors and I thought when I was younger that I had to pick a lane. But all these years later and letting go of those self-limiting thoughts, I ended up doing interiors and that took on a whole life of its own.”

Diversify your revenue streams. “A big part of being an entrepreneur is getting used to the ups and downs of running a small business, and the slow times,” says Dani. She soon learned to diversify streams of income and pursue other creative ventures, such as licensing her designs and renting out her spaces for photo shoots. “I would say really think about how you can capitalize on all the different things you're doing and get creative with that,” she adds.

Travel and explore. Have you ever traveled and not felt inspired? Not possible! See new perspectives and get out of your comfort zone and you’re sure to feel creative and inspired in the process. Travel means learning new things about yourself and what you want out of life. Tight on budget? Visit a new place in your area, have coffee with someone in your field, do something out of the norm to gain inspiration and try something new.

When you’re ready, make that big move. Dani spent six years doing apparel graphics for a corporation, until she gathered the courage to start her own clothing line. “That was probably my first really big move and I built that up on social media,” she says. She used social media to get the word out. “I used a lot of my spaces for photo shoots for my brand, so I would design really cool funky spaces and then people started to ask me if I did interiors,” she recalls.

Share your story. That brings us to having the confidence to share your work and your process. “When Instagram stories came out, I started to share my behind the scenes process,” says Dani. “And that was when people actually started to really connect with the brand. I realized that my superpower wasn't to make a fancy-looking brand and seem like it was already established. It was to embrace that I was this solopreneur at the time.”

As a Power of Women honoree, Mariska was recognized in regards to her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors. She took the stage and used her platform to discuss rape and assault conviction reversals, shining a light on the recent overturned ruling in Harvey Weinstein's landmark NYC case. Here's what she said:

Today I want to talk about reversing convictions, and more specifically I want to talk to you about how impossible it is to reverse mine. It’s impossible to reverse my conviction that survivors matter. It is impossible to reverse my conviction that what happens to us matters, and that our society must respond to survivors with a more a compassionate, holistically, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of what healing means.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that after a trauma, survivors can reclaim lives of hope, of possibility, of audacious risk, beautiful intimacy, and glorious, glorious abundant joy. And I stand before you as evidence of that statement.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that we must listen to survivors as experts on what justice means. It is extraordinary how little their voices are consulted, let alone incorporated, in the process of deciding how to repair harm. Justice is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that patriarchal impunity has to end. Patriarchal impunity is when a male-dominated system exempts perpetrators from punishment. Studies show that only 20% of all rape cases in the U.S. are reported to the police, and that between 5 and 0% of all rapes result in a guilty plea or a conviction. So why do 80% of victims not report? Because they're met with a system that grants impunity to perpetrators; a system that blames victims; a system that accepts only those victims who are experienced as "real" rape; a system that completely misunderstands the neurobiology of trauma, which causes behavior in women that doesn't fit the picture of how a "real victim" would act.

Is that change needed that victims should just pull themselves together? Just buck up and report anyway? No. No, it's the system that receives them that needs to change

It is impossible to reverse my conviction — and the conviction of my extraordinary team, The Joyful Heart — that the backlog of untested rape kits can be brought to zero; that the testing of all new kits must be mandated; that we need a statewide kit tracking system; and that survivors have the right to access the status of their kits.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that grammar — yes, grammar — that we use when we speak about rape must change. In the sentence, "A woman is raped," there's a crime and there's a victim, but there's no perpetrator. Where's the perpetrator? Where is he? Statistically, as we know, most likely he's walking free. He's so free that he doesn't even appear in the language about the crime that he committed. Is that not extraordinary? It's extraordinary that in the very grammar, the perpetrator goes free. Reintroducing perpetrators in the language of rape will make some very unwieldy grammar, but that's the nature of change. It's unwieldy, it's messy, it's uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

Hargitay continued on in her prolific speech to describe that rape shouldn't be considered a "crime of passion" because it's "not simply the next step in the trajectory of his passion" when a man takes a consensual hookup too far and assaults a woman against her will. She stated that it's "an exercise of power," doubling down that the language we use is important.

The speech went on to address that rape is both about power and control, as a "construct" that was "built, and assembled, and reinforced over time." She noted that there are people with these positions of power — and she specifically called out those in the entertainment industry — that could make a difference and aligned themselves to victims and survivors.

After this and some other remarks, Hargitay specifically called out the Weinstein conviction reversal. She said:

I do want to say something about the Harvey Weinstein conviction, specifically about the reason that it was overturned: too many women's voices. Too many women's voices were allowed to speak. Hallelujah! Amen! I can't imagine anything more beautiful than that. The Daily podcast episode talked about how it was so risky for the prosecution to have that many women testify. Risky to let women speak? You're damn right it is!

Too many women speaking brings change. Too many women speaking shakes the establishment. Too many women means we get listened to more, and people might actually hear what we have to say. Look what happened when women started saying just two words, right? Me too — just as an example — a tidal wave of change. Me too.

And then of course, there was the response: the Me Too Movement. The backlash. The examination of whether the changes that have come are lasting, or are even positive. Of course there's a backlash! What did they expect? For women to speak repeatedly, loudly, together, with a purpose — for there to be no backlash? The backlash is evidence of how powerful those voices were, how powerful those voices ARE.
