My Story
I started getting deep into side hustle life in September of 2018. At the time I was making $0 in money and had no real projects with real customers.
2 years later and I've co-founded a successful startup that employs 7 people, developed a Kickstarter project, built an online business that creates $0000's per month in passive income, and started a YouTube channel that now has over 1000 subscribers. I do this all while still holding down a fulfilling, well paid and stable full-time job as a Product Manager at a tech startup.
I want to teach you how IΒ did it.

The Secret To Balancing It All
I've made a lot of mistakes over the past couple of years. I've definitely made the error of biting off more than I can chew and spreading myself too thin. But rather than quit any of my projects, I decided to get incredibly efficient at how I prioritise tasks.
I've taken countless courses on productivity, startup life, and much more. I've armed myself with the best information out there. Combining that with my knowledge with my direct experience it's really just a matter of
1. Becoming ridiculously efficient with your full-time job, so you have time to spend on your side projects
2.Get into the habit of delivering value to your customers every week
3.Create systems that won't let you fail with any of the above
Sounds simple right? It kind of is, but as with all things in life, it's often the simplest things that are the hardest to pull off! However, if you can master these three steps I can pretty much guarantee that (with a lot of hard work!) you can create a life for yourself where you are comfortable generating good income with your side projects.
The Challenges Of Side Hustles While Working Full Time
The Challenges Of Side Hustles While Working Full Time
1οΈβ£ If you don't deliver in your day job, you might find that your career stalls, and you sacrifice everything for your side projects.
2οΈβ£ It's very hard to gain momentum on your side projects in the beginning, you need to get comfortable with focusing on your internal locus of control, nothing else.
3οΈβ£ The more projects you have on, the easier it is to drown in work that isn't important. You'll need to learn how to identify your
'100x work' β the work that no one but you can do and you'll need to learn how to utilise freelancers to do the other stuff.β
You'll have to do this while juggling relationships (I lost a girlfriend due to not properly balancing non-work stuff) along with family life, friends and, of course, your mental and physical health.

This may be hard, but nothing good is easy. With a great system, we can overcome a lot of these challenges. The life satisfaction I get out of my side projects is more than worth the effort I've put in.
The Course Structure
Decide
Module 1
In this module, we'll help you narrow down any side project ideas you have to the one that makes the most sense. We'll also explore the idea of going with a single project or spreading your bets across multiple ideas
Systematise
Module 2
This is when we go deep into the productivity tools you will need to start delivering valuable work on your side project every week. You will get a copy of my 'Focused Mind' productivity system and you'll learn how to build a system that doesn't let you fail.
Balance
Module 3
You need to get bloody efficient at your full-time job or you simply won't have the hours needed to make decent progress. This module will be all about how you can keep your full-time job to 8 hours or less.
Grow
Module 4
When you start out you will be doing everything in your side project. You'll be the CEO, COO, Head of marketing. As your business grows this will soon become inefficient. We'll talk through the strategies of deciding what work to outsource, and how to do so on a really small budget.
Enjoy
Module 5
What's the point of all this side project success if we can't enjoy it? The final module of the course will blend the practical with the philosophical. I'll talk through the issues I've had with enjoying my side hustles and how you can avoid my mistakes.
