The Most Important Thing in a Side Hustle Isn't 'Earning Money' but 'Keeping It Going' | A Mindset for Side Hustle Success

When you start a side hustle,
I think what most people are concerned about first is the profit.

"When will I finally be able to earn money?"
"Maybe I don't have any talent."
"I'm working hard, but I'm not seeing any results."

I thought that many times myself.

But looking back now,
I think the reason I wasn't seeing results
was because I was "only looking at the profits."

A side hustle is not a sprint, but a marathon.

That is precisely why the most important thing is
not to seek big results from the start, but
to create your own system that you can continue without strain.

In this article,
I would like to talk about
the reason why those who persist see results,
which I felt while continuing my side hustle, asset building,and writing on note.

By the time you finish reading,
I hope you can relax your shoulders a little bitand think, "Let's take one more step today."

Characteristics of people who I think can continue a side hustle

The number of people starting side hustles is increasing every year.

However,
there are not many people who can continue for years among them.

At first, everyone is motivated.

"I'm going to change my life this year."
"I want to create a side income."
They start with those feelings.

However, after a few months,
"I'm not earning anything at all."
"It's harder than I thought."
"This isn't for me."
Many people feel this way and quit.

I believe
this difference is not about ability, but
"whether you have a mindset that allows you to persist."

I have the same mindset for investing, side hustles, and life in general.

Rather than flashy results,
people who can accumulate a little bit every day
end up achieving great results in the end.

That is why I believe
"being able to continue" is a great talent in itself.
That is what I think.

Profits will follow later

There are many people who judge whether they have succeeded in a side hustle
only by "how much they earned."
Of course, profit is important.

But,
if you keep chasing only that, the period without results becomes very painful.

The moment I consider a success is a little different.

It is
"when you find your own style and can continue without suffering."that is.

Of course,
I am not making a large profit at this moment.

Even so,
from the perspective of posting articles,
now that two and a half months have passed, this note
feels like I have started to find my own style.

Instead of worrying every time I write an article,
"I can write like myself with this."

From the moment I found a style that I could think that about,
the side hustle suddenly became fun.

Profit is something that follows after that.

That is why I
prioritize creating a 'system that allows me to continue' over profit.

The secret to increasing the success rate of a side hustle

If you only look at a distant goal from the start,
you end up feeling,
'I'm still nowhere near it.'

That is why I
value small experiences of success very highly.

As I briefly mentioned in my self-introduction,
I have been playing badminton for over 15 years.

From the time I was a beginner, what I was conscious of was
'I was able to grow just a little bit more than yesterday.'

Not missing those moments when I could think that.

For example, when I was a beginner,

• I became able to hit the shuttle 10 times in a row

• I became less tired than before

• I became able to enter matches

• I became able to land smashes

Each of these is a small change.

But,
'I am growing.'

Being able to truly feel that
led to the motivation to do my best next time as well.

Note was exactly the same.

In my case,

Looking at it this way,
it was just after the two-month mark in the latter half, when I found my own style, that I was able to truly enjoy Note from the bottom of my heart.

However,
during that time, a painful period lasted for over a month.

I suspect that in this situation,
many people would quit here.

But, I relied on those small experiences of success,
'I am moving forward little by little!'

Thinking that way, I continued to post while going through trial and error.

And then, the moment of joy finally arrived.

650 followers in two and a half months,
and 300 likes achieved on the fifth day of posting.

This made me happier than anything else.

The improvements I had been building up until now were not wrong.

“I’m so glad I kept going with note.”
That was the moment I truly felt that from the bottom of my heart.

I feel that in anything,
if you only achieve big results without having a foundation, you often struggle afterward.

That is what I feel.

That is precisely why,
while repeating grounded improvements,
I build up my confidence little by little.

I believe that this accumulation
is the shortest path to great results.

Summary

A side hustle
is not something to compete with others over.

Have you grown just a little bit more than you were yesterday?
That accumulation will greatly change your future.

What I wanted to convey this time is,

• that being able to continue is a great talent in itself

• finding your own style before focusing on revenue

• that accumulating small successful experiences leads to big results

These are the three points.

For me personally,
asset formation, investing, and side hustles
were never smooth from the start.

I failed many times,
and each time, I repeated improvements.

That is exactly why now,
there is something I can say with confidence.

Life
gradually becomes richer for those who accumulate small growth.

If you are currently
struggling because your side hustle isn't going as planned,
please try to find even just one thing today that is better than yesterday.

That small step
might lead to a future you never imagined in a few years.
Let's do our best together toward the future we idealize!

Thank you for reading until the end!

I would be happy if this article
becomes a trigger for you to think about your side hustle more positively.

If you even slightly
empathize with the idea of "let's accumulate small successful experiences,"
it would encourage me if you could give me a like, follow, or comment with your thoughts.
