Side hustling is great for a few reasons; it gives you a taste of what it's like to start and grow a business, it helps you figure out if your idea is marketable, and is a great outlet to fuel your passion.

But, is it legal?  It depends. 

In this episode, I discuss some things to consider when starting and carrying on your side hustle while still employed.  Some things to consider:

  • Can your employer fire you for having a side hustle?
  • Can your employer claim ownership to your side hustle?
  • Is your side hustle related to or competitive with your current job?
  • Should you tell your boss about your side hustle? and 
  • What obligations do you have under a contract or non-compete?

Listen to the full episode to get tips to make sure you protect your side hustle from a claim from your employer.
