How do you turn a side hustle to a full time thing? When do you know it is time for you to go full time?
The moment you decide to start a new line of hustle alongside your work, you notice new world of opportunities opening for you.

These things are important, this is because a lot of people are eager to turn their side hustle into full time work without ticking out the important factors. These are the factors that will determine if your side hustle is ready for the next phase.
When I decided to go full time on my side hustle, I stopped my regular 9-5 work to focus on my business fully, I am not trying to discourage you but it failed woefully. It was almost as if, deciding to go full time killed it, but it was actually due to my own negligence anyway. Before I knew it, I was back on the streets looking for another 9-5. Luckily for me, I got a less stressful job and it gave me good time to restrategize. I outsourced whenever I needed to, and it was doing okay. I decided to go full time for the second time only when I was double sure it was indeed time to go full time, not because I was just excited to go fully or I felt it was time to go full time.
