I started at 15. So I know how frustrating it is to pour most of your time into school, and have very little time left for business.
But that 1-2 hours a day (and a bit more on the weekends) is all you really need at this point in your journey. It was enough for me -- to launch and fail a bunch of things while building skills on the side.
By 17 I finally got something going, a modest freelance copywriting practice ($3k/month). Keep in mind this was while I was taking classes at the local university, including graduate-level ones, captain of the school soccer team and applying to thirteen colleges.
So yeah, you have all the time you need. Not just to spend a few hours a week doing this business thing, but to go to school and learn some social skills, and to find shit you're passionate about. Become a rounded person now so you can become an expert later.
Also, I watch Hamza too - he's great - but keep in mind he's been doing this for 6 years. You're just getting started. So don't expect to be successful right away, nobody is! Put in the hours now while you're still in school and you'll be so much more prepared to go full speed once you're out.
