Feras Alhlou walks through how to move into entrepreneurship without burning out. Start with 1-2 hours at night plus weekends while keeping your job, plan your business carefully, and bring your family into the decision from the start.
I'm not a fan of endless side hustling with no plan, but I'm also not a fan of leaping without a parachute. There is no one-size-fits-all path to entrepreneurship because some of us go all in, others transition gradually. What matters most is being intentional, prepared, and disciplined. Whether you're going all in or transitioning into entrepreneurship, Be realistic with the time commitment. Block off 1 to 2 hours each evening and a few more on weekends to make real progress. This phase, business planning and groundwork, is foundational. It demands focus. So if you have people in your life who rely on you— spouse, kids, parents— bring them into the loop. Share what you're working toward, why it matters, and what the journey will require.
