Does this story sound familiar?

6:00 AM - The alarm goes off and I groggily drag myself out of bed. It's a new day, and that means it's time to start the grind again. I've been working my 9-5 job for the past 20 years and it's starting to wear me down. I've always dreamed of starting my own business and being my own boss, but I never had the courage to take the leap.

But recently, I started a Shopify store on the side as a way to test the waters and see if I have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It's been going okay, but I struggle with understanding all the technical and strategic aspects of running a profitable online store. There are so many moving parts and it feels overwhelming at times.

8:00 AM - I arrive at my 9-5 job and try to focus on the tasks at hand, but my mind keeps wandering back to my Shopify store. I wonder if I'm making the right decisions and if I'll ever be able to turn it into a successful business. My wife has started questioning my commitment to the store and whether it's worth the time and energy I'm putting into it. I hate the feeling of not being successful and not being able to provide for my family.

12:00 PM - Lunchtime. I sit at my desk and try to eat my sandwich, but I can't shake the feeling of frustration and inadequacy. I feel like I'm constantly spinning my wheels and not making any real progress. I know I have a lot to learn, but it's hard to find the time and energy to devote to learning everything I need to know. I worry that I'll never be able to catch up and that I'll always be stuck in my current role in society.

5:00 PM - Finally, my workday is over and it's time to head home. I'm exhausted and just want to crash on the couch, but I know I have to put in a few more hours on the Shopify store. I sit down at my computer and try to focus, but my mind is all over the place. I feel like I'm failing at everything and I worry that I'll never be able to achieve my dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

9:00 PM - I finally force myself to shut off the computer and go to bed, but my mind is racing. I can't shake the feeling of failure and inadequacy as I think about my Shopify store. I've been working so hard on it, but it's just not taking off like I had hoped. I don't understand why I can't seem to generate traffic or sales, and it's frustrating that I don't have the skills or knowledge to make it work. I worry that I'll never be able to break free from my 9-5 job and become a full-time entrepreneur.

10:00 PM - I toss and turn in bed, trying to fall asleep but my thoughts keep coming back to my side hustle. I feel like I'm failing at everything and it's hard to shake the feeling of hopelessness. I worry about how I'll be able to provide for my family if I can't make this work. I'm so overwhelmed by all the moving parts of running an online store and I don't know how to get a handle on everything.

11:00 PM - I'm still awake, staring at the ceiling and trying to calm my racing thoughts. I wonder if I made a mistake by starting this side hustle and if I'm just not cut out to be an entrepreneur. I feel like I'm stuck in my current role in society and that I'll never be able to achieve the success and freedom I've always wanted.

11:30 PM - I finally drift off to sleep, but my dreams are filled with anxiety and stress about my Shopify store. I wake up multiple times throughout the night, feeling on edge and worried about the future.

1:00 AM - It's the middle of the night and I'm still awake, unable to shake the feeling of stress and insecurity. I feel like I'm at the brink of burnout and I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this. I want so badly to be successful and provide for my family, but it feels like an impossible dream.

At 2:00 AM, Our side hustler (is that you?) was still awake, his mind racing with worry about his Shopify store. He knew that he needed to make a change in his life, and he couldn't keep going like this. He was working 60 hours a week, trying to juggle his 9-5 job and his side hustle, and he was at the brink of burnout. He felt like he was failing at everything and he was consumed by thoughts of what he was doing wrong.

He knew that he needed to make a change if he wanted to achieve the freedom and success he had always dreamed of. He couldn't keep living this way, feeling stressed and overwhelmed all the time. He wanted to be able to provide for his family and create a life that he was proud of, but he wasn't sure how to get there.

He thought about what might happen if he didn't change his life. He feared that he would never be able to break free from his 9-5 job and that he would always be stuck in his current role in society. He worried that he would never be able to achieve his dreams of being a successful entrepreneur and that he would always be struggling to make ends meet. He knew that he needed to find a way to make his side hustle work, but he wasn't sure how to do it. He felt like he was at a crossroads and he wasn't sure which path to take.
