I've seen many many of my friends try the side hustle, and none succeed. Mostly they burn themselves out from working so many hours and then stuff gets tough, as it does, and they bail. I think a better approach is to make some savings and take a sabbatical to test out what it's really like. If your day job is cushy and unstressful then maybe that's a different story...
- jamisteven 8y ago^ This, so true. Lot of people preaching the side hustle who either havent actually tried it OR have very lax jobs that allow for this kind of thing.
- avbanks 8y agoSo since none of your friends succeeded in doing a side hustle that means you shouldn't?
- anonfounderj 8y agoYes. Doing a (venture) startup is tough. If someone can't handle the stress/hours/etc of building out a side-hustle.. they won't succeed as a founder of a full fledged startup either. It's a signal. Stay in the job. Sabbatical: yep. definitely do that if possible/available.
