Working & Chasing

How balancing a job and your side hustle is really about choosing who owns your future.


The Comfort Trap

You wake up.
You get ready.
You clock in.
And eight hours later, maybe ten, you come home... tired.

Tired enough to justify not working on yourself.
Tired enough to convince yourself that tomorrow you’ll begin.
But if we’re being honest — tomorrow rarely comes.

That’s the trap.
Working your full-time job while trying to build something of your own isn’t just a time issue — it’s an identity battle.

It’s you vs your comfort zone.
It’s safety vs self-respect.
It’s working... and chasing.


The Side Hustle Excuse Machine

You’ll find 101 reasons not to build your side hustle:

  • "I’m too tired."

  • "I’ve had a long day."

  • "I’ll start when things calm down."

  • "Work’s just hectic right now."

But here’s the truth:
Your job isn’t guaranteed.

One higher-up decision.
One restructure.
One 'cost-saving measure' — and the job you gave all your energy to is gone.

You burn out for someone else’s dream and leave your own untouched.
That’s not loyalty.
That’s self-abandonment.


Work Smart. Chase Harder.

This isn’t a call to quit your job.
It’s a reminder to work smart at work, so you still have something left for yourself at the end of the day.

Save your best energy for your vision.
Make progress in silence.
Build your own safety net.

The hustle after work matters more than the one you do for a payslip.
Because only you get to cash in on your potential.

So if you’re feeling like you don’t have time or space —
Ask yourself: Are you chasing a dream, or just clocking in for someone else’s?


Your Mission, Your Control

VXNTA was built in that in-between space.
Late nights. Silent weekends. Lunch breaks spent sketching.
It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t perfect.
But it was ours.

Every design, every drop, every word — made from borrowed time.
But now? That time belongs to us.

So take this as your reminder:
Your comfort zone might feel safe,
but it’ll never give you control.
