Starting a side hustle is the new trend. In fact, if you ask around, you’ll find that the majority of people in your circle have some kind of side hustle or are looking to get into one.
What drives them isn’t just the extra income, but it’s the freedom and feeling of self-reliance. However, what ends up happening is the following: they get overworked, underpaid, and what seemed like a dream turns into a nightmare. So what should you be doing to avoid this toxic scenario? Glenn Leon Vo explains his take.

As he explains, you need to dedicate enough time every day to grow your skillset and build up your side hustle. Make sure you have that as a non-negotiable in your schedule, even if it’s just a few hours, or even 30 minutes a day.
The key here isn’t to drown yourself in the process, instead, focus on making small daily improvements that eventually add up over time.
But there’s a catch, and it’s a small trap a lot of ambitious people fall into.
When you’re putting in the time to hone your skills and improve or work on your side hustle, you need to make sure you’re fully focused. That’s why you have to cut all distractions and take care of the task at hand, Glenn Leon Vo says.
While Glenn Leon Vo is living the dream life today, things weren’t always this way. In fact, one thing he’d been struggling with for a long time was creating a perfect work-life balance.
So if that’s something you’re currently struggling with, then simply follow his advice above and see your life improve.
All in all, starting a side hustle isn’t easy, it takes time and energy. But when you put in consistent effort and quality time, you start seeing the fruits of your labour.
