"All the satisfaction derived or money earned from your side hustles won’t be worth it if you let yourself go and develop health issues."

"Dedication like that can be a valuable trait when it comes to the long-term success of your side hustle. However, as I’m finding out, if you get too obsessed and lose sight of other priorities, then a side hustle addiction can be detrimental."

"If a side hustle is cutting into your family time, then those around you might start resenting you and/or the side hustle."
