The Perks and Drawbacks of Working a Part-Time Job While Starting Your Own Business

For six months, I worked a part-time job while starting my own business. During that time, I realized that working part-time was not everything I imagined.

Right before the last day at my job, I was offered an opportunity to stay on part-time with the company. It was the perfect situation. They wanted my help on select projects and I was able to name some of the terms. Accepting the offer allowed me to slowly exit the company I loved and still make some money while I started my own business. It seemed like there was no downside.

Boy, I was wrong.
