What are your thoughts on hustles while you work on your business?

[BlueMoon]

Many businesses take quite a while before they take off and generate solid income (in my own experience and countless others I've witnessed). And so, if you want to bootstrap it, you will have to find ways to generate income while you work on your business.

This is exactly what I'm doing right now as I'm working as a freelance marketing consultant.

But as you've guessed it, it's not a good way to generate good side income (obviously), though I might do a very big project for a Hollywood celeb (you all know him).

I've been pondering different routes I can go right now and was hoping to get the ball rolling on how you guys look at these situations.

Basically, I look at them like this:
Door #1: Work somewhere (either fulltime or parttime) and hustle in the weekends/evenings.
Door #2: Continue with freelancing while working on your business.

It's a situation I often have found myself in (and friends who started/own businesses) and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this?

I don't mind irregular income, but the added stress (financially, emotionally, bitching clients) can also negatively affect my focus on creating a fastlane business in the 'off hours'.

Vice versa, this problem could be solved by working (parttime) in a new industry, but of course, the flexibility will be severely hindered in that situation).

How are you guys tackling this challenge (if applicable to your situation) and why have you stepped through one of these specific doors?

Look forward to your thoughts
