Product Prompt #6 on Product Disrupt Blog

As I believe, there are 2 ways to discover what you love. Either you already know what you love and start pursuing relevant steps or you start with something, try a few things and finally end up doing what you love. Sadly, there’s a third kind as well, who never gather the courage to do what they love and just get used to what they do but don’t like.

Side projects are a great way to discover one’s true passion for something at a minimal risk. You don’t really have to quit your day-job to pursue a side project.

I’m writing this from Dubai, and as you might’ve already guessed, it’s also owing to my side project.

That’s the impact a side project have had on my primary work function.

And by the way, it isn’t just me who has benefited from working on a side project, look at our favorite designers and makers and their thoughts on the impact of side projects.

You may read the post here and can also contribute with your answer and suggestions in the comments.
