Below are key mistakes to avoid when building and sustaining your side hustle:

1. Avoid starting and stopping. If you are going to start a side hustle as a counselor, push to create and release your side hustle. Versus starting it not releasing it.
2. Avoid the mindset that it has to be perfect. It's okay to start with what you have and adjust it as you move forward.
3. Avoid restarting your business. You have a network and referrals that you currently utilize. When building your side hustle, reach out to who you know. Versus thinking that you need to create an entirely new set of networks.
4. Avoid creating and not selling. It is vital to do both. Spend time creating your product and engaging in the sales process.
