Have you started pursuing your dreams and goals of building a profitable side business but you think time’s just NEVER enough? Each time you tried you tend to say “hmm…I should do that, someday” or “I’ll do it later” and most times you end up not doing it.
Yet you can’t seem to let go of your dreams and goals of earning more money from your experience. I’m writing this short post for you.
Btw. I also recorded a video in my private Facebook group this week on the same topic and made it available on youtube as well. To see it click on the image below
First, let me say his intrigued I am that you’re reading this. Time is an irreplaceable resource and I’m honoured that you’re investing time into our relationship by reading this.
Now, to get the most out this time pls make up your mind to take at least one action as a result of this. And pls share with someone you care about if it helps you.
How much time do you even need to earn a decent side income if your dreams and goals are around building a new side income?
About 7-20 hours a week is a good place to start. If you have a profitable and tested idea and if you have a clear path to achieving your dreams and goals, then with just one hour a day you can get there. Though the more time you have the better.
So now to finding time to pursue your dreams and goals aka start your side business…
1. Find clarity. Why do you want to start a side business? Many of my clients start their entrepreneurial journey because they want to have buying power, they want to have more time with their loved ones, they want to escape a poisonous work environment, for me, the main motivation for my business remains that I want to be able to follow my hubby wherever God leads us as pastors and church planters. Answer the question; why do you want to start a side business?
2. Take Stock & Steward your time. In a period of one week, take stock of your activities and you may be shocked and your time is hiding.
4. Identify your time waster. Then identity stuff that aren’t urgent and important and can be removed. Thereby freeing up a bunch of hours.
5. Prioritize important & Urgent stuff. Simply identify and prioritize any activities that would help get you to your dreams and goals.
6. Free up time for (urgent & Important). Then eliminate those things from your schedule or move them to odd times or to your ‘someday maybe list’
7. Repurpose freed up time. At this point, you bring your business activities into the freed up times or anything that will lead you to your dreams and goals. If you’re not interested in wasting time, and you want to know how I can save you time, comment below and we’ll be glad to show you where to start.
8. Schedule your business into your calendar. This step is the beginning of your business success journey. If you do everything above and miss this, you might as well not do any of the steps. In other words, just do it!
Over to you…what’s your take away from this? What are you ready to do next?

awww, i was hoping to find the 1mio dollar question answered lol what do you suggest if I don’t really have any 4’s, how do you free up time then? and also even though i do point 8, it ends up being taken over by the 5’s (here would be a crying emoji but the function doesn’t seem available lol). any suggestion is welcome 🙂
Thanks Andrea💝 You’re right. Sometimes it may seem like you can’t find any 4’s…From experience this may be a sign that you’re overcommitted. At that point in my life I needed to LEARN to say ‘NO!’ If that’s the case then I highly recommend this post as well👉 https://www.olusobanjo.com/learn-to-say-no-in-order-to-say-yes-to-gods-purpose-for-you/
