How to work on a side hustle when I'm really busy at work?

You want your cake and you want to eat it too. You want to be able to relax and be successful. You can certainly do that, but there is no "trick" to it. Be good at your job and people will trust you to get things done. You do that by creating a history of delivering. Once they trust you, you have more flexibility (i.e. They won't micro manage you). As far as the relaxing goes, why not spend that time pursuing your goals? Have you earned it (relaxing) yet? Did you accomplish something?

There is no easy way. The hard way is the only way. Successful people don't have free time. Once you realise this you will enjoy the process more.

So you want to keep your 9-5 job, study for a professional qualification 2+ hours a day, go to the gym 6 days a week, have hobbies, chill out, and have your own side hustle? At most you can pick three of those things. That's where your problem is.

Once you're done with your professional qualification, you'll have more time. Wait til then.

It's important to build up your resume with things like that. Then you can use it in your side hustle and say, THIS is why you should pay me to do xxx.

Cheers

I really like the private lending route. It's not hard to do and honestly more about partnering with the right people. There are two ways to go about it.

Secured Notes: Mostly through RE, good APR that pays out as a balloon payment at the end of the term (6-12 months most of the time). No monthly cash flow, your money is tied up, but it is secured as a first lien on the property. Or
Unsecured Notes: Provides monthly income, your money is diversified, fixed principal and interest, and often a higher APR.

A lot will depend on your risk tolerance and goals. If you like monthly income, find a qualified PML who specializes in unsecured notes. If you don't mind your money tied up a bit, go the secured route with an established RE investor. I've used both in the past, and it's a nice little income boost, for sure.
