The Bizniz Talk: Episode 17 - How to manage your side-hustle while having a full-time job

Managing your side-hustle/business while having a full time 9-5 comes with its own set of challenges.

One of them being time management, having to run your business(wearing many hats), managing daily life, family, relationships and also work.

As I'm currently managing 3 side-hustles, while maintaining a demanding 9-5. This has forced me to start managing my time better, after all we only have 24 hours in a day.

Things to consider or keep in mind with managing your side-hustle

1. Plan your month, week and day as much as possible. Else you will find yourself doing everything but accomplishing nothing.

2. Focus on the things that generate sales/incomes, in other words focus on things that move the needle.

3. Break your goals/objectives into smaller, simpler task. If you goal is to make R10 000.00, break it down into weekly/daily targets. It will be come easier to achieve.

4. Don't waste too much time on things that don't matter, don't worry about the perfect name, price, logo, website etc. Test your product/market in your target market, make your first 1, 10, 100 sales. Again focus on things that will yield results, whether positive or negative.

5. Lastly if your side-hustle is as draining as your 9-5, you might be doing alot of things wrong. Do something your enjoy doing. It's shouldn't just be another job but should make you motivated and driven enough to want to put in the work.

Passion = Profits over time.

Remember as in any business, it requires hard work, dedication and perseverance. ,these is no such thing as overnight success, unless you win the lotto. If it is too easy or to good to be true???

As you are your own boss, their will be no-one telling you to get out there and make your next sale/find your next customer.
