Episode 46 - The Art of the Side Hustle

In the episode, I explore the challenges and benefits of pursuing a side hustle while maintaining a day job. With my experience successfully balancing two businesses, I share some practical tips for managing time and energy. Perhaps the key takeaway is the need to be realistic about the time and energy available to devote to a side hustle. This is because it is important to be honest about how much time can be dedicated to a side hustle without compromising job performance or personal well-being. This can mean setting clear boundaries around when and where work on the side hustle will take place. Another important consideration is the need to be strategic about the type of side hustle we pursue. So, I emphasize the importance of choosing a side hustle that aligns with our passions and skills and can provide a sense of fulfilment and purpose. This can help make the additional work feel less like a burden and more like a meaningful pursuit. This episode also explores some common obstacles to balancing a side hustle and a day job, such as burnout and overwhelm. It also emphasizes the importance of self-care, taking breaks, and seeking support when necessary. Overall, this episode provides practical insights and advice for anyone considering pursuing a side hustle while maintaining a day job. I believe that if we are realistic about time and energy constraints, are strategic about the type of side hustle pursued, and prioritize our self-care, it's possible to successfully balance multiple ventures and achieve our personal and career goals.
