If you don’t have $700 to update your website, your side hustle is not a legit hustle yet. You’re caught in hobby-land.

Because it’s the dough that makes the difference.

Here are some signs your side hustle might be a more wasteful than worthy use of your after-work hours:

1. You’re not making enough money.

2. You’re not consistent.

3. You’re not willing to put yourself out there.

4. You like the sound of entrepreneurship but you’re not really solving a problem.

There are a million ways to make money — but just dreaming of handing in your resignation letter and setting up your work station in a scene-y cafe isn’t one of them. It’s about solving problems for other people in an ongoing way.
