‘Build a side hustle while working full-time’ masterclass

Build something of your own without quitting your job.

Starting a business while working full time can feel overwhelming. You have limited time, limited energy and a long list of responsibilities, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until you have the “perfect” circumstances to start.

This practical A Founder’s Guide masterclass is designed to help you turn a business idea into a realistic side hustle while continuing to work or study full time. We will focus on the decisions, systems and practical steps you need to take to start intentionally, rather than simply jumping into business without a plan.

What you will learn

By the end of the masterclass, you will have a clearer understanding of:

✔ How to identify and validate a side hustle idea

✔ How to determine whether there is a real customer need for what you want to offer

✔ How to structure your side hustle around your existing work and personal commitments

✔ What you actually need to get started and what can wait

✔ How to think about pricing, costs and your first revenue

✔ How to find and approach your first customers

✔ How to build a simple action plan for moving from idea to execution

✔ How to think about your side hustle as a business rather than just another project

Who is this for?

This masterclass is for you if you:

• Have a business idea but don’t know where to start

• Want to start a side hustle while keeping your current job

• Are working or studying full time and want to build an additional source of income

• Have already started something but struggle to make consistent progress

• Want to test a business idea before committing to it full time

• Feel overwhelmed by everything you think you need to do before starting

You do not need to have a registered business, existing customers or a fully developed business plan to attend.

✔ A 3-hour practical A Guide masterclass

Why attend?

There is a lot of advice online telling you to “start a business”, but very little guidance on how to actually fit entrepreneurship into your existing life.

You don’t necessarily need to quit your job, have thousands of rands in savings or have everything figured out before you begin. You need to understand what you are building, who it is for, what it will require from you and what your first steps should be.

This masterclass is designed to help you move from “I have an idea” to “I know what I’m going to do next.”

Come with your idea, your questions and an open mind. Leave with greater clarity, practical tools and a plan for taking your first steps.
