Think you can’t build a multi-million dollar side hustle while working full time? Think again. If you’ve got the idea, the dream, and the work ethic, you can do anything you set your mind to. Below I’ve outlined four tips on how to scale your side hustle, multi-million dollar-style.
Monday Motivation: How to Build a Multi-Million Dollar Side Hustle
1. Teach Yourself to Focus
If you’re working full time, you’re already spending 8-10 hours per day at work or commuting to work, so the time you have left over to spend developing and growing your side hustle is limited. Instead of focusing on the lack of time, challenge yourself to become laser-focused when you work on your side hustle. Being hyper-focused will allow you to accomplish more in a shorter period than you would typically be able to. Luckily, focusing is a skill that can be learned and cultivated.
How do you learn to be hyper-focused?
Start by planning for tomorrow, today. That way, when you start your next day, you won’t have to spend any time thinking about what you need to do, you will already have a plan of attack. Next, prioritize one single thing to accomplish during each work session. Don’t get distracted by the trivial things, and focus instead on the high-impact tasks at hand. Lastly, your version of “pretty good” is someone else’s “perfect.” Launch at 90% and move on.
2. Change the Way People Shop
SHOP.COM gives you cash back for buying products you would be buying in-store or through other online retailers. Get your friends and family to buy all of their essentials, like toilet paper and snacks, through SHOP.COM too, and soon they will love the convenience of using the site that they will buy everything through it. Elizabeth Weber has made millions from her online SHOP.COM franchise and was the first Independent Distributor for Market America to earn in excess of $1 million. Today she is an International Field Chairman and earns $125,000-$149,999 every four weeks.
3. Be Consistent
Plan to work on your business a little each day, even if it’s just for 30 minutes, instead of spending all day on a Saturday or Sunday. Let yourself build momentum throughout the week. A great tip is to work your “second shift” after your regular 9-to-5 and bring your laser-focused intensity for a few hours. You will quickly get used to working in the evening, and if you are working on something you are passionate about, your output will also increase.
4. Brainwash Yourself
No one will believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself first. Read motivational books, listen to podcasts, make vision boards, tell people you are an entrepreneur – do whatever you need to stay focused and motivated at all times, and you will be successful.
