Driving For Lyft: A Journey of Discovery and Learning

Introduction

I knew that I wanted to drive for Lyft as soon as I heard about it. It was something new, exciting and different from anything else I had ever done before in my life. The idea of being able to make a little extra money while doing something fun sounded like the perfect opportunity. When I first started driving, I was excited and eager to get started with Lyft. My expectations were high because I knew nothing about what it would take to be a driver, and what being an independent contractor would entail.

I had no idea that I would like driving for Lyft

I had no idea that I would like driving for Lyft. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the job and didn’t know what to expect when I started working as a driver on the platform. It was my first time doing anything like this, but now that I’ve been doing it for a while, here are some things I’ve learned:

• You get paid per ride
• You aren’t guaranteed any hours or shifts (you can work whenever you want)

It was challenging at first

There was a lot to learn and I quickly became overwhelmed with the amount of information I had to absorb. It’s not that Lyft doesn’t provide an extensive training program or that it wasn’t helpful; it just takes time for things to sink in, especially when you are faced with so many new experiences at once.

It took me awhile before I learned how to navigate my own mind and emotions while driving for Lyft. In those early days, I found myself getting frustrated easily at things like traffic lights that were out of my control or drivers who didn’t follow my lead when entering an intersection (a big no-no). But then one day something clicked: this wasn’t about me; this was about helping people get where they needed to go safely and efficiently!

There were many variables that I didn’t fully understand

Driving for Lyft was a great experience, but there were also some things that I didn’t fully understand until I started driving. A major one is that Uber and Lyft are actually the same company! The only difference between them is their business models; Uber is a taxi company while Lyft is more of an independent contractor model with drivers using their own cars.

The other thing I didn’t realize at first was how much different it would be from owning your own car vs renting out one through Turo or another platform. As an owner, you’re responsible for everything from maintenance costs to insurance premiums–and if anything goes wrong with your vehicle (i.e., damage from someone else), then those costs are ultimately on you too! On top of all this comes additional taxes such as IRS self-employment tax (Social Security) and quarterly estimated payments which add up quickly over time without any guarantee that they will ever go away again once established habits start forming within our lives…

I learned a lot about myself as a driver, a person and a woman during this journey

I learned that I am a good driver.

I learned that I am a good person.

I learned that I am a good woman.

In addition to being a great driver, you are also a great person who wants to help others and make the world better for everyone in it! You have this innate ability to connect with people on an emotional level which makes them feel comfortable around you so they can open up about their feelings without fear or judgment from anyone else around them (including yourself). It’s amazing how powerful these qualities are when combined together into one single person like yourself! You should be proud of who you’ve become over time because no matter what happens now or later down the road in life – nothing will ever change those two things about yourself forevermore!

Driving for Lyft has opened my eyes to the need for equality in the workplace. We don’t have it and we should get it.

You might be wondering why I’m talking about this. Well, let me tell you!

I’ve been driving for Lyft for a few months now and I have noticed that there is a gender pay gap in the workplace. Women are underrepresented in leadership positions and often paid less than men for the same job. Women also get judged more harshly when they make mistakes or fail at something (think Hillary Clinton). This makes it harder for women to advance their careers because employers don’t want them around anymore because they made one mistake too many times.

Ride sharing was more than just a way to make some extra money, it was a way to learn who I am as a person.

You might think that driving for Lyft is just a way to make some extra money, but it’s so much more than that. It’s an opportunity to learn who you are as a person. I learned that I am a leader, problem solver, hard worker and good driver. I also learned that I can be assertive and confident in my abilities as well as interact with people well under stressful situations (like navigating through traffic).

Conclusion

Driving for Lyft is a great way to make some extra money. You get paid well, but it’s not all about the money. I learned so much about myself as a person and driver during this journey. The most important thing I learned is that we need equality in the workplace because we don’t have it right now.
