A lot of couriers will try this delivery gig as a side hustle and think, this is paying better than my regular job. Others see the ads for 'up to $25 per hour' and think that looks pretty good.
Is this a viable option for full time work? Can it pay well enough to be worth doing fulltime?
In this week's episode we talk first about the reasons it may NOT be a good option. And then we delve into advice for going forward if someone wants to try this as a fulltime gig.
We make reference to a number of posts and episodes in today's episode. Also, one of the important pieces of advice is to develop a business mindset. The first 31 episodes of our podcast were a series dedicated to helping you Master your Business Attitude (MBA).
