A full time job is a 9-5. Let's say you commute from 8-9 and 5-630. That means you can gym from 645 to 8 (including travel time), eat decently, do some coding, hit bed around 1030, and be sleeping around 11 (so you have enough time in the morning by waking up at 7). Cook on the weekends, code on the weekends, social life Friday and Saturday night...

Do you work more than 40hrs a week? Why? Sounds like you're creating someone else's brand if so.

Let's say you have half of this spare time to work on your side project, that is 3 hours. Excluding weekends, how much time would it take to build a business out of your 15-hours-per-week side project?

Well, typically building a business is a full time job. I'd recommend someone make extra money in their spare time to facilitate a work-break rather than trying to do two "full time" jobs at once.

No it's not.

If it is, it means you're probably working too much for someone else!

Maybe you're right. Unfortunately. Thanks for the heads up anyway.
