It’s not easy, but it’s possible!

In the last 4 months I’ve built a website (with now over 300 visitors a month — and growing — and top 10 rankings on Google) written over 80 articles and found time to cycle over 300 miles.

All the while maintaining a full time job.

Oh and I’m also a husband and father to 3 amazing little angels — all aged 3 and under (our 1 year old twins and their big sister).

Lastly, I’ll add I’ve managed to keep most of my hair but more importantly my health.

I say all that not be boastful but to highlight the fact if it’s possible for me to manage everything life has to throw at me and still find time to get a side hustle started — then it’s quite possible for you too.

As you’d expect from taking on so many challenges, I’ve picked up a few things along the way. Here are my top 3 lessons.

#1 — You Get More Done When You Stop Making Excuses

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to quit my day job and get working on things that bring me excitement and joy as well impacting others.
