Has anybody started a side hustle with the intention of never scaling and/or possibly just doing it short term?
I've had an idea for a business for a very long time. It was born out of interactions with people on social media constantly dealing the the same problems in a specific industry. Most of their issues are related to navigating certain systems. I think I can help, but wen I think about the potential to scale my business, I just don't really have the passion to do it. The business would be digital and offer digital products. I could scale to offer services, I just don't really want to. This is a bit of a passion project, something that I think could help people navigate systems that so many people have a ton of trouble with. I have no followers but I do have ideas for a few products to test with a future email list if I go through with this. I think my issue is that I don't have a ton of time and I've always had a possible pathway of how to scale my other business ideas. Is it really worth it to start a side hustle if I know I don't want this to become a full time thing?
