For many aspiring entrepreneurs, the biggest obstacle to starting their own business is the lack of funds and flexibility to leave their current job. However, there is a way to overcome this barrier – by balancing a full-time job with a side hustle. Managing both commitments can be challenging, as it can be exhausting to work a full day and then come home to work on your side project. But finding the energy and motivation after a long day of work is essential to staying committed to your dream.
The key to managing a full-time job and a side hustle is to dedicate at least one hour a week to your side project. Starting small and pushing through the first 10-15 minutes can help you build momentum and make progress. It’s important to make sure that working on your side hustle feels enjoyable and fulfilling, rather than like another chore.
Turning a passion into a profitable business is something that resonates with many people, regardless of their age or generation. But for Gen Z, this dream is particularly strong due to our desire for autonomy and a career that aligns with our values. Despite the challenges of balancing a full-time job with a side hustle, the drive to be our own boss and create something meaningful is what motivates us to persevere.
