Hustle Smart: How to Build Your Side Business Without Breaking the Bank


Listen Later

In this episode of "My Money, My Lifestyle," host Maya Fisher French chats about side hustles with Willem Gous, author of "Side Hustle Success." With nearly half of employed South Africans engaging in side businesses, the conversation explores practical strategies for starting a side hustle on a shoestring budget without significant risk.

Maya and Willem discuss the importance of testing business ideas quickly, emphasizing that waiting for funding or a perfect plan can stall progress. Willem shares insights from his book, highlighting that potential entrepreneurs should leverage their existing resources and focus on understanding customer needs rather than getting bogged down in traditional business planning.

Listeners will learn about the significance of setting time limits for their side hustles, the value of starting small, and the power of listening to customers to identify viable business ideas. Willem offers practical examples, including how one woman turned her baking hobby into a thriving business without the need for initial funding and how to start a clothing brand without owning stock. The episode also addresses the psychological barriers that often hold aspiring entrepreneurs back and provides actionable advice on overcoming these challenges.

The bottom line is that if ​you ​can't ​start ​your ​business ​in ​five ​minutes, ​​you may ​need ​to ​move ​on ​to ​a ​different ​business.

Join Maya and Willem as they demystify the side hustle journey, encouraging listeners to take action, embrace experimentation, and ultimately, find financial freedom through entrepreneurship.
