Long gone the days when a 9 to 5 job was the only
source of income and the only career option. Starting
a side hustle is now a goal many people aspire to
achieve. Understanding the journey of starting a side
hustle is essential as it may feel both exciting and
challenging. It’s an opportunity to expand your
horizons, follow your passion, develop new skills and
double your income. Yet there are some potential
pitfalls along the journey that you must watch out for.
STARTING A SIDE
HUSTLE : PITFALLS
TO AVOID
It’s Real
Many people thik that a side hustle is less
serious or needs less comittment than fulltime jobs. A side hustle is a real business that
requires attention, consistency and hardwork. Starting this journey without careful
planning ahead is like drowning in a pool of
false expectations.
Losing Direction
Wanting to work on different projects related
to completely different fields all at once
results in lack of focus and loss of direction.
Being ambitious is good, but you must decde
on a particular area of expertise to truly
succeed and move forward with growth.
Burnout
The passion you feel at the beginning of the
journey may lessen and fade overtime. This
could lead to exhaustion and feeling burnt
out. Understanding your limits and knowing
when to take breaks can save you from this
pitfall.
Self Doubt
One of the common pitfalls that people go
through when starting a side hustle is being
paralyzed by doubts like the fear to fail or not
being able to fulfill the required tasks
properly. These doubts are almost universal
and can be avoided by listening to those
who have been through the same phase
before as well as by learning how they
overcome it.
The path of side hustlers is filled with pitfalls, but with
the right resources and positive approaches all pitfalls
can be avoided and act as a chance for improvement
and evolvement.
