What It's About

When you can't choose both ideas—what do you do?

Notes from Chris

Episode 3128
It’s one of the best problems a side hustler can have—too many good ideas. But that doesn’t make the decision easy.

Today we’re hearing from Devon in Santa Fe, who’s juggling two promising side hustle concepts. One is a physical product with local traction, the other is a digital asset with long-term potential. Devon knows it’s not realistic to do both well—so how do you choose the one that’s right for right now?

"I’m in a bit of a dilemma right now: I’ve got two side hustle ideas I really like, and I think both have potential. One is a small-scale food product I’ve been testing at farmers markets, and the other is a digital resource I’ve started building for hobbyists in a niche I know really well. I know I don’t have time to do both—not properly, anyway—and I’m worried that if I pick one, I’ll regret not doing the other. How do you choose between two good ideas when you don’t have the bandwidth to pursue both?"
