The Truth No One Tells You About Side Hustles

Anything considered a "hustle" and not necessarily a CENTS-based Fastlane

Have you ever realized that most business models called "side hustles" are full-time jobs?

I felt lied to the very first time I heard about side hustles.


Why?


I was told it was the only way for me to make money while working my 9-5 job.



Because it takes just 1 to 2 hours to implement and you can scale from zero to hero without any work.


The truth is...


Side hustles only takes less time to implement when you have "mastered" that hustle.


If you are starting out, you can't spend 2 hours learning a skill and hope to get the best out of it.


It's a full-time job.


That is why you might still struggle to make money with that side hustle like I am currently.


Take, for instance, I have been learning affiliate marketing.


I've spent money on adverts and have watched it blow up into pieces with ZERO results.


Do you think I need just 2 hours to figure out what happened and how to avoid it next time?



Side hustles are in reality, full-time jobs.


Just be patient to learn it while starting out, then you can scale up

Lemme guess, you bought a guru side-hustle course for one low price of $299? And it didn't work as advertised?

Anything worthwhile in life has a learning curve, accept it and use it to your advantage, or complain and buy the next easy money program promised by a guru.
