Side Hustle or Passion Project?
I think most of us have a creative project in our bottom drawer or a business idea that we’re working on alongside our conventional job if you’re an idiot like me, you may even have both, things you couldn’t choose between and keep you very busy, but which can be tabled at a time when your ‘real’ work has to be your main focus.
