It all started like this.

For a long time, I saw how my dad struggled and stressed, stuck in the rat race, living paycheck to paycheck, and just surviving life, not living it.


As an undergraduate, I stumbled upon the idea of making money part time online. So I thought to myself.

OK, cool! Let's do it!

I failed! And lost the "highly treasured" student allowance experimenting.

It was a terrible thing, and happened at a very bad time when I could have used that money for better things.

That didn't stop me though, since I actually needed to make the money to help my life.

So I went the old fashioned Nigerian way. That was how I got introduced to the world of making money on the side.


A lot of challenges come with running a side hustle, especially in Nigeria.

Knowing the exact steps to follow when starting a new side hustle will surely save you a lot of stress and resources, and from experience, these are the same exact steps I would always advice others to follow too.

Find your motivation

Finding the reason why you want a start a side hustle should be your first point of focus. What is pushing you?

The greater the pain, the more satisfying it is when you are finally rid of it.


Is it the money, or freedom, or just to be a place where you can unleash your passion and help others?

Until I got this clear, it was easy for me to stop whenever I faced challenges. This slowed my growth terribly. And this means I lost precious time.


Entrepreneurship can be a long stressful journey and being your own boss will come with one great risk: the risk of burning out! Your WHY will be your constant motivation.

You've got to find it, and keep it.

I once had to make my screensaver a photo of the top ten things I needed to start my blogging journey.

I had too many ideas, was trying to absorb all the information, I kept forgetting what was really important…

Having that picture reminded me of what I needed to do , but more importantly, WHY I must get those things done.

Choose the destination

Start with the end in mind. You will want to always keep this picture in mind. 


Where do you want to go? If you do not know where you are going, you also have no way to measure your level of success. 




Set goals to help you know whether you are succeeding or stagnating.

Then work backwards, breaking it down into smaller components until you have an easily achievable action you can take.


There one secret to goal setting not commonly known. Its about setting outcomes instead of goals.


Outcomes are the end result of a particular action you take. 

Goals are the end result of the entire process.


Let's use losing weight to describe this.


Outcome- Work out everyday for 30 minutes.


Goal- Lose 10kg this year.



You can be sure that if you look at your schedule in the morning and see that you have to workout for 30 minutes, you will be more motivated.


But seeing that you have to lose 10 kg in 3 months, whew!


Outcomes, smaller ones are easier.

##>>>Mindset<<<##

The power that we humans have lies in our minds, our thoughts, habits.

Work on your mind, thoughts and beliefs and program them to always believe in success.

I had to work really hard on this one. Somehow, it is way easier to change your physical actions than to change how you think.

All top world leaders again and again, stress on the power of belief.

You have to get your mindset right first before anything else. Your thoughts, emotions and feelings and improving your inner world is the most important thing!


"You have to truly believe in yourself and in your mission in order to take action. If you don’t have faith in yourself or in what you’re doing, no one else will.

So before anything else, have 100% faith that you can. If you do that, you’ll be unstoppable �"- Russell Brunson, Founder Clickfunnels
