While keeping a profitable side hustle as a side gig is acceptable, the decision to go full‑time rests solely with the individual. The speaker outlines the reality that a founder must assume every role in the company—from CEO to janitor, and from sales and marketing to IT, HR, finance, and tax responsibilities—many of which may be unfamiliar. Even with preparation, making the leap remains a risk, and aspiring entrepreneurs should be ready for the challenges that will arise.

Starting a business and building it to a point where you can take it full-time requires preparation. In all aspects of your life, I want you to be prepared before you take that leap— emotionally, psychologically, financially.

Only you can make that decision to transition that side hustle to a full-time venture. So when you start a business, you'll be the CEO. You'll be the janitor and everything in between. You'll be the head of sales, you'll be the head of marketing, the head of IT, the head of HR, the head of finance and taxes. So you'll be doing all these roles that you did not even know they existed. Your leap into your business, no matter how prepared you think you are, is still a leap. And you want to be ready for the challenges ahead.
