From Side Hustle to Start-Up: Confidence, Momentum and Making It Happen

35 min / Published

This week on Inspiring Entrepreneurs, we explore why you don’t need to wait for the “perfect moment” to start a side hustle - or anything else! We spoke with Paul Wilson, founder of Consultico, and Darren Stewart from the Strathclyde Inspire Start-Up Team about why confidence isn’t something you gain before you begin, it’s something you build through action. 

 

Together, we break down the myth that students need to wait until graduation or have everything figured out before trying something new. We discuss how clarity often comes after you start, why small steps can build real confidence, and how early side hustles can become powerful learning tools. Paul and Darren share honest reflections on taking action, embracing uncertainty, and moving forward even when things don’t feel perfect yet. 

 

 Whether you're thinking about launching a side hustle, exploring new ideas alongside your studies, or simply looking for the confidence to take your next step, this episode will encourage you to rethink what it really means to start, grow, and move forward.
