The story of how I almost quit my AI side hustle after being swayed by people who seemed amazing

Hello, this is Nakashi🌱

'This person is amazing.'
'Why is there such a difference when we use the same AI?'
Have you ever felt that way on social media?

Actually, I have, many times.
Especially when I first started my AI side hustle,

──There were days when I felt down like that.

But then, I realized something.

'People who look amazing' and 'amazing people' are different.

In this article, I will share perspectives to avoid such 'pitfalls' and the mindset to help you become 'someone who can continue an AI side hustle,' based on my own experiences.

*For those interested in monetizing note👇

Don't be misled by a superficial 'aura of success'

When looking at social media, posts saying 'It's going well!' appear every day.

• Screenshots of sales

• Follower counts

• Excitement in the comment section

• Publicly shared prompts

But behind that, there are:

• People pushing themselves too hard

• People showing only temporary results

• People who aren't actually selling much but are winning through presentation

There are many such cases.

Of course, I don't mean to deny that.
It's just that it's wrong to compare yourself to others and feel down. that's what I mean.

Even people who seem successful
are going through trial and error behind the scenes.

In other words, the effort you are putting in might just not be visible yet, and you might be on the same stage.

Are you working at your own speed?

A common trait of people who succeed in AI side hustles.

That is, not to rush.

If you proceed by comparing yourself to others, this is what happens:

• I'm anxious because I haven't sold anything this week

• I think I'm no good because I don't post every day

• I feel like I missed out on the trendy prompt

But people who set their own pace are like this:

• One post this week is fine

• I have a rhythm I can continue without strain

• I write articles that will be effective in half a year, not 'now'

It's obvious which one will last longer.

An AI side hustle is not a sprint, but an endurance race.
If you run at a pace that doesn't suit you, you'll run out of breath along the way.

The day you 'want to quit' is the day it's worth re-evaluating

When you are doing an AI side hustle, there will definitely come a day when you want to quit.

• There is no reaction even if I write

• My follower count dropped

• My paid notes aren't selling at all

• Someone told me, 'Maybe this isn't for you?'

Days like that are actually a 'chance.'
Because in the reasons you want to quit,

• your true feelings

• the direction you really wanted to go

• the parts where you were pushing yourself too hard

will start to become visible.

This is the common trait of people who 'keep going without quitting' their AI side hustle.

The perspective of turning others' achievements into 'your own hope'

When you feel down looking at someone else's success,
instead of blaming yourself, try asking this question:

'What can I do right now to become like this person?'

If that leads to a 'small action' like:

• increasing your posting frequency just a little

• reading through one successful note

• reviewing your own past posts

then you have already moved further ahead than you were before you felt down.

Others' achievements can be turned into 'learning and hope,' not jealousy.

Those who can do that will definitely move up to the next stage.

Summary: Instead of worrying about whether you're 'suited' for it or not, find a 'form you can sustain'

An AI side hustle is not about imitating people who seem amazing, but a journey to find
the form that you can sustain yourself.

• Don't be misled by how things are presented

• Value your own pace

• If you feel like quitting, stop and re-evaluate

• Turn other people's achievements into hints

People who can keep this cycle going will,
before they know it, become 'someone's hope' six months later.

You don't have to be amazing.
You don't have to be flashy.
'I was just a little more honest with myself than yesterday'
That accumulation is what supports your side hustle.
