I love hearing side hustle ideas from listeners! Today’s features a woman with a background in retail who wants to become a vintage shopping concierge.

When you have an idea, you want to look at it from a few different angles. How feasible is it to get up and running? Of all the ideas you might have, what is the relative profit potential of this idea? How does it suit your skill set? And of course, how excited are you about this idea, relatively speaking? Life is short and even though it’s important to make the numbers work, it’s also important to work on something you believe in.

"I've been listening for a while. I have a background in retail, having worked at two clothing stores and then helping my sister with one of her own. My idea is to become a shopping concierge focusing on vintage. The fancy stores like Saks and Macy's have concierges that help big spenders pick out their clothes. I want to do that, but for vintage.

I think the market is big enough and there are enough people who spend money on clothes but want to go vintage that I can make it work. What do you think? Also, what steps would you take to establish this business, and do you see any big problems I should look out for?"
