Starting your own business is hard enough. But trying to fit that business into nights or weekends after hours of full-time work at a day job can be downright exhausting.
It's tempting to give up or become disenchanted with the side hustle when long days sap the energy and creativity you need to build your business. When in doubt, try these tips to stay fresh and keep your business chugging along, even around a demanding day job:
1. Fit your side hustle in during your most productive times.
Do whatever you can to be in control of the hours you get to spend on your passion, rather than settle for cramming it in around your day job. Take advantage of whatever flexibility your day job offers. Can you cut down to just four days a week and use your super-productive Monday energy to complete freelance work for the week? Can you take a long lunch and schedule coaching sessions for your early afternoons -- or go into the office a little later if you're a morning person?
