Episode 143: How to Balance a Side Hustle + a Full-Time Career without Sacrificing your Sanity with Kari Roberts

Are you chasing your dreams or pursuing your passion project on the side? You don’t have to take your side-hustle full-time to be a successful entrepreneur! You also don’t have to take on too much stress in order to feel accomplished. While pursuing a side-hustle can fulfill a passion, it can also bring a lot of stress when you also have a full-time commitment to something else. Kari Roberts of Kari Roberts Coaching joins us in this episode to share how you can create a rhythm that allows for you to maintain both, without sacrificing your sanity. Creating a Rhythm As a professional side-hustler, it’s important that you take a look at how much time you can dedicate to your gig, while also being realistic about your goals. Your goal doesn’t have to be to go full-time in your side hustle. It also doesn’t have to be to replace your existing income. Your business goals are up to you! As you take time to review these things, you’ll begin to understand the impact that they have on your end-game. You can only dedicate so much of your time and energy into both before you burn out or lose sight of why you started them in the first place. Be Intentional With Your Time You’ve probably heard us discuss this before, but time is something we can’t create more of. Your time is valuable, so be intentional with it. As you begin to look into how much you can dedicate to your side-hustle, you need to review how you’re spending it. When you create a plan and focus on your tasks, you can get so much more done, especially when you realize how limited it is. You can consistently make progress on your business with limited time, it just might look a little different from other entrepreneurs. Intentionality also comes with understanding your priorities, creating a schedule, and celebrating the wins in your business. You can be a successful entrepreneur without being full-time, as long as you’re making smart decisions that will leave the most impact on your business!
