This is one of my [favourite blogs](http://www.smartcompany.com.au/?ref=cje.io)… [This post talks](http://www.smartcompany.com.au/entrepreneurs/20100316-part-time-entrepreneurs.html?ref=cje.io) about some of the things one needs to consider when working a part-time “on the side” (or a “5 to 9″ as I like to call it).

There are some very interesting points to consider about liability, how to treat your employer, when to exit, etc… Definitely worth the read.

> Being a part-time [entrepreneur](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneur?ref=cje.io "Entrepreneur") is hard work. It stretches you in many directions. But doing other things on top of your [day job](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day%5Fjob?ref=cje.io "Day job") is also a great way of teaching you what you can and can’t do, what some would say you are destined to do. As [Richard Branson](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/richard-branson?ref=cje.io "Richard Branson") famously said: “I wanted to be an [editor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editing?ref=cje.io "Editing") or a [journalist](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalist?ref=cje.io "Journalist"), I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my [magazine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine?ref=cje.io "Magazine") going.”
