Polsky Center – Business Acumen: Side Hustle or Real Business? Know the Difference

Are you running a side hustle or building a real business? Many entrepreneurs start with passion and hustle but don’t always have clarity on what makes a business sustainable, scalable, and operationally sound. This interactive workshop will help you evaluate where you are on your entrepreneurial journey and provide a roadmap to move from informal to intentional growth. 

Participants will learn: 

The key differences between a side hustle and a structured business 

Financial, and operational markers of a real business 

How to assess your goals and make strategic decisions 

When and how to formalize your business entity 

Resources and tools available to support your transition 

Whether you’re making extra income on the side or ready to build something long-term, this session will equip you with the insights and frameworks needed to take the next best step forward. Bring your questions, ideas, and aspirations and leave with clarity. 

Facilitator: Vince Beachum, SBDC Director at the Polsky Exchange
