Side hustles that allowed to u to leave banking?

Hi all, I work in operations and for the past 7 months I have been talking to a friend that is now an options trader and have been practicing with a demo account while trying to learn from him.

My comp is 67k/ year in Florida and I am planning out how I could make the jump to fulltime trading if I can be consistent with him for the next 6 months. 

I am saving as much money as possible and reducing all expenses to the minimum. 

But I was wondering if anyone knows a side hustle or online business that I could do (it can be anything) just so I can save up more money in this time so I can make the jump sooner if I feel ready?
