Welcome back to Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex and today we're going to be talking about something life-changing.

How to turn your side hustle into your main income.

Listen, I've experienced this.

I've been there multiple times and now it's your time.

Working crazy hours in law enforcement, guys, dreaming of freedom, building a side hustle on the grind.

It's not easy, but it's possible.

And today, I'm going to tell you how it is and how you guys can make it happen.

So first, you got to treat your side hustle like a business from day one.

This is not a hobby.

Too many people treat their side hustles like a hobby and wonder why it doesn't grow when i started with my first business in atms okay simple black and white business automated teller machines i didn't just dabble i went all in with focus and discipline even while working make sure to check out my youtube channel officialpaw alex.com for more motivational episodes damn near 100 hour work weeks guys i tracked every dollar every lead and every opportunity so if you want your side hustle to replace your nine to five you got to treat it like already has okay second you got to focus on building consistent, scalable income.

You're not going to quit your job with just one good month of earnings, guys.

Okay.

If you're doing that, that is stupid.

You need reliable, repeatable income.

And the best type of income is passive income.

Okay.

But that's why I love business with residuals.

Residual income, guys, like credit card processing, right?

Every swipe out of a machine I place continues to pay me month after month after month.

Look for ways to create steady, predictable cash flow for yourself as well.

Okay.

Lastly, you got to know when to take the leap.

Here's the deal, guys.

All right.

I'm not going to fluff this for you, but there will never be a perfect time to leave your nine to five.

All right.

It will never be perfect.

All right.

So if you're a perfectionist, let that go.

That is a fugazi.

But when your side hustle consistently covers your bills and gives you a safety cushion, it's time to bet on yourself.

It's time to go.

Okay.

Time to take off the training wheels.

So I waited until my first side hustle was generating enough passive income to match my salary, plus more.

The leap was scary, yes.

Everybody will doubt you you like they doubted me, but that's where freedom begins, okay?

So let's get down to it.

Turning your side hustle into your main income isn't just about the hustle.

It's about strategy and it's about commitment.

You got to treat it like a business.

You got to build consistent income and you got to know when to make the jump, guys.

That's how you level up.

All right, guys.

Thanks for tuning in to the Love All Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex reminding you that your side hustle is the bridge to your freedom.

All right.

Cross it with focus and confidence.

You got to stay disciplined.

You got to stay driven.

And as always, keep leveling up.
