2. Prepare for success. Consider registering a web site in your name. You can then create a professional-sounding email address that will encourage people to visit your web site. Get a professional photograph taken. This is for your web site, your advertising, or anything else that you will be doing to promote your image as a serious professional. Order your own business cards in your name with your web site and business number. Basic business cards can be obtained for a very reasonable rate at Vista print. If you don't want your cell phone ringing with business calls at work, consider a Skype In number, which will cost you just $60 a year.

3. Expand your skill set. If you’re in the right career, critically examine where you may be lacking in experience or qualifications.

4. Start thinking of yourself as who you want to become. Rather than being a banker who paints as a hobby, you are an artist who supplements your income with your banking job. This inner psychology is very important to realizing your dream. If you always think of your dream as something you’ll be doing in the future, there’s a good chance it will always remain in the future. Claim it as your reality now, and that will encourage you to take action. If you’re in the habit of thinking it and believing it, doing it becomes much easier.

開始把自己看做你想做的那種人? 與其做個銀行家，而把繪畫當(dāng)成業(yè)余愛好，不如把自己當(dāng)做靠銀行的工作增加收入的藝術(shù)家。這種內(nèi)心的暗示對實現(xiàn)你的夢想很重要。如果你總是把夢想當(dāng)成將來要 做的事，那么，它很可能永遠留在將來?，F(xiàn)在就宣稱你的夢想就是現(xiàn)實，這樣會激勵你采取行動。如果你常?？紤]自己的夢想，而且習(xí)慣了相信夢想，實現(xiàn)夢想就會 更容易。

Working in a job that is a bad fit can be a demoralizing experience. Earning a second income is a consistent reminder that you are able to earn money apart from your main source of income. You may eventually find that you can turn your secondary income into a full-time business.

做點掙外快的事情? 考慮做做咨詢或出售你的創(chuàng)意。掙外快有助于使討厭的工作令人愉快。做一件不適合的工作可能是令人泄氣的經(jīng)歷。掙到額外的收入會不斷地提醒你，你能從主要收入來源之外掙到錢。最終，你也許就會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以將產(chǎn)生第二收入的工作轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槿毷聵I(yè)。
