No one will care about your side-hustle

Don’t count on any praise from your manager. In a competitive capitalist marketplace, who has time to acknowledge a coworker’s “little hobby” that will probably crash and burn by next year?

Most people never start their dream side-hustle, not because they lack the knowledge, but because they’re so afraid of what others will think — of becoming the office fool — that they abandon their beautiful idea altogether. The truth is, no one thinks about you that much.

Your coworkers are mostly thinking about themselves. They’re not concerned by what you’re doing or how you’re doing it.
