Risk: Moderate

Starting a Shaman side hustle from scratch can be risky, especially for those who can't afford to lose money. There is a potential to lose both money and time if the business doesn't take off as expected. Beginners might spend money on training, tools, and marketing without seeing immediate returns. While there are minimal startup costs involved, such as training programs and supplies, there's no guarantee these investments will pay off, especially for inexperienced practitioners. Online discussions highlight instances where individuals have failed to recoup their initial investments or struggled to attract clients. I'd rate the risk a 2 out of 5 because there is a significant chance of losing money and time, particularly for newcomers.
