Congratulations — You Started Your Business 🎉
Now let’s make sure you keep it and do it the right way. If you’re reading this,
chances are you’ve started a side hustle, you’re excited but also a little
confused, you’ve gotten paid for the first time, or you’re officially making
money—online or in person.
Maybe it was your first client, your first deposit, your first payout, or your first
month that actually felt real.
And now your mind is probably racing with questions—wondering whether
you need to officially register a business, if you’re supposed to be paying
taxes yet, whether what you’re doing counts as a side hustle or a real
business, and most importantly, what you’re actually supposed to do next.
You’re not alone — and you’re not behind.
This guide walks you through exactly what to do FIRST after making money,
in plain English.
