YouTube video by Omar Zenhom arguing that dedicating 10 hours per week to a side hustle is the tipping point that generates momentum and enables consistent progress. The speaker cites personal experiments with 5, 6, and 9-hour weekly commitments and presents momentum as the main reason 10 hours works.
How much time do you really need to dedicate to your side hustle to make it work? My answer? Well, it's quite simple. And that magic number is 10 hours a week. Why 10 hours? Because I've experimented with all kinds of number of hours. When I was side hustling, I tried six hours, I tried five hours, I tried nine hours. And 10 hours is kind of the cusp. Like when you hit 10 hours, you have enough momentum. First reason why is that momentum matters. Building a business takes traction, and 10 hours a week gives you enough time to make consistent progress. Anything less, it's hard to build that momentum.
