Things i wish i knew before starting my hustle



Starting a hustle is not just about making money — it's a life journey. I’ve faced challenges, made mistakes, and learned hard lessons. Today, I want to share a few things I wish I had known before I began, hoping it will help someone else rise faster and smarter.

1. Hustling Without a Plan Is a Trap

When I first started, I didn’t have a clear goal. I just wanted to make money fast. But the truth is, without direction, you can waste time doing things that don’t grow you. Always sit down and plan your hustle. Even if it’s small, write down your short and long-term goals.

2. Nobody Owes You Support

At the beginning, I expected close friends and family to support me, share my blog, or buy from me. But I realized quickly — people won’t support you just because they know you. You have to work hard, stay consistent, and build value. Support will come, but don’t beg for it.

3. You Don’t Need Money to Start Everything

Money is important, but lack of it shouldn’t stop you. Many big hustles started with zero capital. Use your phone, your skills, and free tools online. I built this blog with my phone and free time. You can too.

4. Your Mindset Is Everything

If you think poor, you’ll remain poor — even with opportunities. You must believe in yourself and train your mind to grow. Watch motivational videos, read, and pray. If your mind is strong, your hustle will grow.

5. Consistency Beats Talent

You might be talented, but if you don’t show up every day, someone with less talent but more consistency will win. Keep pushing, even when you feel tired or unseen. Your breakthrough might just be around the corner.


Final Words

My journey is still on, but I share my story so others can avoid mistakes I made. If this inspired you, please share it and leave a comment. Let’s keep growing together. 💪🔥
