I own/run a guest house outside of regular work. Only been a year now but so far so good. It's a nice hedge against SA failing

I have always thought that this would be a good idea. But yeah, working a normal week and still having to do this on a weekend would be a killer.

its the prep work and all this

a buddy had a weekend burger joint and he used to make burger from scratch

took alot of his time and effort compared to the reward

It was a ton of work initially but we've managed to streamline quite nicely. My partner manages the staff (gardener/cleaner) and the property. I handle bookings/guest communications. At the moment I spend almost no time on it (we're about 80% booked till May next year already) but in the beginning it was like a full time job.
 
After the pandemic, my side hustle will become my new business. Had to cut a lot of bad weight and people. Technically I am cannibalizing myself with the side hustle.
 
I would have liked to have thought of a side hustle by now as I have > 2 weeks off every month, but haven't been able to find something yet. Being lazy doesn't help either.
