Juggling a full-time job and a side gig can feel impossible, but it doesn’t have to. Let’s talk about balance & boundaries with side hustles.
One of my favorite slogans from any brand is, “Once you pop, you just can’t stop.” If you’re wondering where you’ve heard that from– Pringles coined it about 3 decades ago, and it’s still in the conversation today.
That’s the power of rhymes: catchy, memorable, and persuasive. And here’s something I just realized– a clever rhyme doesn’t just grab attention—it sells ideas.
In fact, researchers found that rhyming statements can feel 22% more believable compared to non-rhyming ones. It’s no wonder iconic slogans like “Grace. Space. Pace.” by Jaguar have stuck in the minds of many for so long. For context, this particular line was thought up in like, 1951!
But rhymes don’t just work for tasty snacks and exotic cars— they should work for life, too. I mean, balance is everything, just like a very famous purple person once mentioned 😜
Rhyming isn’t just for savvy marketers. It can also be a powerful tool in your personal life, especially when it comes to balancing a full-time job with a thriving side hustle.
In this edition of the SimplVest newsletter, we’re getting knee-deep into the art of the side gig, complete with tips and strategies to help you succeed. And while we don’t have a slogan for balancing your full-time job with a side hustle (yet), we’ve got tips that make it as seamless as possible.
