This might seem counterintuitive, but when your business is growing and you are finding new clients, that’s the best time to start dabbling in a new side hustle apart from appraisal.

As an entrepreneur in your business, you are wired to seek and get excited about opportunities. New people, new options, a new environment, or a new place all present a wide variety of possibilities.
