So I started my own business but also am only 7 months in at a demanding full time sales job that’s literally working me 50 hrs a week already but paying me a great salary. This business has the potential to unlock full passive financial freedom for me, I’m just so swamped and busy I barely have any WLB as it is to get this business off the ground.

Can anyone share a story or advice on how they did both??

I dont have a side business but a side gig. I find I am most productive when I schedule myself and stick to it. Constancy is better than trying to do everything at once and getting burnt out.

I agree with cox 1.

Think of the business as serious as getting a degree. You have to have 1-2 hours every night after your ft job and then 2-4 hours on the weekend.

Write down what you did during your working session and what you need to do in the next working session. Small steps will get you to that goal

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
