It's the era of the side hustle, and if you've ever considered starting one to earn some extra cash outside of your 9-5, you're in good company. These days, more than one-third of U.S. adults have side hustles, and their supplemental gigs make an average of $891 a month, according to recent research from Bankrate. Of course, the most successful side hustlers see much higher earnings, especially when they start a business that brings in nearly as much as — or significantly more than — their full-time sources of income.

Twenty-nine-year-old Breanna Meertins, a former vet assistant/technician, is one of those side hustlers. Learn how Meertins transformed her side hustle into a lucrative full-time business here.
