Should I start a side hustle while starting up a business?

In my case my working full time and and the side starting up my clothing business. As my clothing business is more long term, I'm still thinking of finding a side hustle in the meantime. What's everyone's thoughts? Am I crazy?

For me when starting up a new business I'm obsessed, I would have to time to think of anything else.
If you have the time and the drive, go for it!
Absolutely! I was introduced to a side hustle that leads into full time business. Me and my wife still work full time while building our business as a side hustle. Contact me for me info if interested. 👍️

A full time job + a business startup + a side hustle? This will most likely lead to not succeeding in any of the 3. Starting a business while employed full time is already a challenge and your time is your most precious and most scarce resource.
Instead, I recommend getting a loan for the clothing business (drop the side-gig idea) and spend as much time as you can growing it so that you can focus 100% on it.
Yes, a loan is scary. But when it comes to creating a business with that money (as opposed to buying consumer goods) look at the interests paid as "renting" money. Just like you would rent a physical space for a business/office/retail location in order to grow a business. Or if you use some software application and paid monthly licensing fees to grow that business.
So, no. I don't think it is a good idea to do all three at once.
Good luck!

As a former Corporate Manager, I am NEW to making money online (side-hustles) - recently joined this forum to learn more from others - there is one bit of advice - don't give up on your dreams and keep looking for your path (as I am) - there seems to be many opportunities online, but many hyped, deadend side-hustles (many that just don't pay very well) - good luck on your journey - will be asking advice from others myself - TheDutchman
If you have enough time, i think you can.
Thank you!
I think it's definitely a good idea to have a side-hustle going. Especially if it's not too time-consuming, and creates a more passive income, like selling stuff online.
Not at all crazy brother. It is a pretty good idea if you have a plan and time to do all that needs to be done. Time is really important, if you can manage then definitely go for it. Wish you the best of luck.
