A lot of us face the struggle of having our expenses continuously rise to meet income. It can be draining. It is also a lot to deal with. Having a lot of important bills and financial commitments to settle, but the trivial things come up to deduct from our funds.

While it’d be fun to be able to take days off when you feel like it as an entrepreneur, you should consider if you are willing to go through the process of building from the scratch.

A 9-5 job also sounds like a steady inflow of income monthly but is it enough to satisfy the wants and needs of your economy?

The truth is not everyone wants to end up becoming an entrepreneur, we don’t all possess the grit and push that entrepreneurs have towards business.

Then, the decision to run both at the same time comes up. Is it possible to juggle between a 9-5 and entrepreneurship? Well, it is possible for some and others it isn’t.

The answer to juggling between a 9-5 job and running a business would be dependent on how efficient you can be with your time and skills. Not letting one suffer from lack of attention.

Also, deciding to carry out the responsibilities that come with both should include making sure that none stands in the way of the other.

If you decide to venture into both, you can always navigate your way:

  • When you outsource part of the tasks associated with your business. Like the logistics and even marketing.

  • You also don’t have to be the sole owner. Find a bankable partner. Have a cofounder for your startup. It makes things quite easier.

  • Get a reliable and efficient team to help the day to day running of your business.

Here are a few things you could do to have multiple streams of income if you stick to your 9-5 job;

  • Be strict with your budget.

  • Make profitable investments with Stocks, Bonds or Real Estate

  • Develop a marketable skill.

  • Create a Blog or YouTube Channel

  • Try out Information Marketing

We have, at one point or another, come across a lot of opinions that revolve around entrepreneurship or being employed. Truth is, there is “no one size fits all”. Make sure to do what works best for you.
