Summary

Welcome back to the Side Hustle Pro podcast, your headquarters for turning passion projects into profitable businesses! I’m Nicaila, and today we’re talking about how to find (and protect) the time you need to build your side hustle. 


I get it: Working a full-time job, juggling family commitments, and trying to live your life can make your side hustle goals feel impossible. But trust me, it’s not. I used to think I had zero free hours, but as soon as I did a reality check, I found pockets of time I could reclaim. Here’s how you can do the same.


In this episode I share about:

  • The time you’re losing and how to identify your top time wasters
  • The 3-Step Hustler’s Time Plan: how to maximize your time
  • How to build a system and schedule that work for you


Highlights include: 

  • 00:00 Intro
  • 01:45 Identify your biggest time traps
  • 06:42 Reclaim your time
  • 12:35 Power hour: get more done in less time
  • 16:15 Leverage your days off
  • 18:30 Protect your side hustle hours
  • 21:20 Choose a schedule that fits your life
  • 23:40 Final thoughts and recap
