“Good things happen to those who hustle.”

– Anais Nin

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 13, 2023) – The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global economy. Many people have lost their jobs and businesses have closed down as well. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of having multiple sources of income and that is where side hustles come into play. A side hustle is a job or business that someone does in addition to their regular job. Let’s explore three benefits of having a side hustle during bad economic times.

One significant benefit of having a side hustle during bad economic times is the additional income it provides. Side hustles offer a great way to earn extra money, which can be used to supplement one’s regular income. With side hustles, individuals can generate additional revenue streams, which can help cover bills and expenses. Moreover, side hustles can help individuals save up for future investments and retirement.

Another benefit of having a side hustle during bad economic times is the development of new skills. Starting a side hustle requires individuals to learn new skills or improve existing ones. These skills may include marketing, customer service, or time management, among other types of skills. The development of new skills can help individuals become more valuable in their regular jobs, making them more marketable and competitive in the job market.

A third benefit of having a side hustle during bad economic times is another layer of a sense of security. Side hustles offer individuals a backup plan in case they lose their regular job. In the event of a job loss, a side hustle can provide some income until a new job is found. Having a side hustle can also help individuals feel more in control of their financial situation, reducing the stress and anxiety that comes with financial uncertainty.

Having a side hustle during bad economic times offers several benefits. It provides additional income, helps develop new skills and offers a sense of security. Side hustles have become increasingly popular in recent years and the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted their importance. It is essential for individuals to explore side hustles that align with their interests and skills to maximize the benefits they offer.

Harvard University Affordable Housing Seminar

Published

Mr. Suleiman Alli

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. –

Harvard University is hosting an Affordable Housing seminar titled, ‘Affordable Housing:  Principles for Changing Domestic and Global Markets’. The two-day seminar takes place at the Graduate School of Design. Individuals in the fields of development, lending, investment and policymaking, will learn the skills to navigate the affordable housing industry.

One of the attendees will be Mr. Suleiman Alli. Sule, as close associates call him, works in conjunction with a design and construction company, FABHAUS USA INC. Sule’s role is in the Marketing, Sales and Business Development department, for the African market.

The course is led by instructors in the Affordable Housing industry: David Smith, Davina Wood and Sanjana Sidhra. Sule, a Nigerian, with American permanent residency, believes that the information and collaborations obtained via this course will assist him in supporting FABHAUS. FABHAUS’ mission is to design and construct pre-fabricated homes, globally.

For nearly a decade, Sule has been investing time and money into journeying throughout Nigeria in attempts to persuade decision makers, in the African nation, to utilize natural resources to build homes for the growing population. His association with a Nigerian organization, FEDUP, led him to find that much of the problem surrounding housing affordability in the country, was political.

Sule’s vision aligns with the mission of the Harvard University course, in that the course is built for entrepreneurs. Affordable Housing is not only a Warri problem, a Lagos problem or a third world problem; Affordable Housing is a global problem and if it were a disease, it could possibly be likened to a pandemic.

Affordable Housing is a burgeoning industry that will continue to grow. This industry is interdisciplinary, encompassing political science, sociology, economics, government, architecture, engineering, etc.

BlackUSA.News will follow up on this seminar and its’ benefits, upon its completion.
