Your side hustle might be making money. You just can't tell.

Here's one simple fix.

Open a separate M-PESA or bank account for your hustle.

Why?

Your salary pays your personal bills.

Your hustle pays for stock, transport and other business expenses.

When you mix the two, you can easily spend your business money thinking it's extra cash from your salary.

And at the end of the month, you have no clear picture of what your hustle actually made.

Separate the money, and tracking becomes much easier.

You'll see what comes in, what goes out and what's left.

You can't grow what you can't measure.

Start with a separate account. It's a small step towards understanding your numbers.
