Question speaks it all, please be truthful in your answers as I work full time and want to see if others have done it too.

Yes. I did all my side hustles and businesses while working a full-time job. One business made me $500k in 3 years while working Mon-Fri 9-5.

Lots of people do it.

Here's what I did...

That depends on the business, but mainly depends on you and your drive.

If it's a business that's software related or similar, then it's much easier to grow then let's say...a construction business, or something that requires your physical presence at a location.

Work 8-4 (or 9-5 or 7-3), then deal with obligations and your business simultaneously or one after the other, and it becomes trickier.

As others have said, if you have no family / kids / partner then you can devote many more hours to it.

Add a partner, and subtract some time from that.

Add a kid, and each kid needs time from their parent as well (unless you're an absent parent).

There's only 24h in a day, and it's difficult to fit everything in, so something needs to take precedence over the others.

First thing's first...you need to decide how badly you want it. Then figure out the path.

Anything is possible working full time: school, another job, side hustle, etc

Yeah. The sooner you start the better. It gets exponentially harder with kids and as you move past age 26. Easier with remote job as well.

Doing it now too $100K w2, $60K agency on the side

If you don't have kids yeah, I'm doing it. If you do have kids please do not 'cat's cradle' them starting a small business.
