10 Habits I’m Using to Make Money — The Ugandan Hustler Way
By Glow With Yiga | Inspired by everyday hustle and purpose 🇺🇬
In Uganda today, life is not easy we all know that. But every challenge has a hidden opportunity. I’ve learned that success doesn’t come from luck or big capital, but from habits. The small things you do every day add up to your wealth story. So here are 10 habits that I personally use to make money and stay motivated in this Ugandan hustle life.
1. I Wake Up Early — Before the Sun
Discipline starts with your morning. I wake up before 5:30 AM because the earlier you rise, the more time you have to plan, pray, and execute. The quiet morning hours build focus — and focus builds income.
2. I Save, Even from Small Money
When I was earning 5,000 UGX a day, I used to save at least 1,000 UGX. People laughed, but that habit built my business foundation. Savings is not about amount it’s about consistency. Save like your future depends on it… because it does!
3. I Invest My Time in Learning
Knowledge is free if you’re hungry for it. I spend time reading about Forex, online business, and motivation. You don’t need to go to university to learn your phone is a classroom if you use it wisely.
4. I Treat Every Hustle Seriously
Whether I’m selling chapati or trading online, I give 100%. Every small business deserves respect. Treat your side hustle like a company it will grow like one.
5. I Network with Purpose
I connect with people who inspire me traders, hustlers, dreamers. The people you spend time with will either drain you or drive you. Choose your circle like your life depends on it because it truly does.
6. I Reinvest My Profits
Whenever I make money, I don’t rush to buy new shoes or a phone. I reinvest in stock, tools, or learning. That’s how your 10k turns into 100k, and your 100k turns into a business.
7. I Keep My Faith Strong
God is my business partner. Before I start my day, I pray. I believe success without peace and purpose is empty. With God, I move with confidence even when I have little in my pocket.
8. I Use the Internet to Earn
From Forex trading to affiliate marketing, I’ve learned that your smartphone is not just for chatting it’s a money-making tool. You just need discipline and the right mindset to use it wisely.
9. I Stay Consistent, Not Perfect
There are days I fail but I don’t quit. Success loves consistency. Even when sales are low, I show up. That’s how real hustlers grow one day at a time.
10. I Help Others Grow
I believe in sharing knowledge. When I motivate someone, it also strengthens me. If you help others rise, blessings chase you naturally.
Final Word: These 10 habits are not secrets they are discipline in action. You don’t need to be rich to start; you just need to start with what you have. Uganda is full of opportunities we just have to stay focused, faithful, and hungry for success.
Keep Hustling. Keep Believing. Keep Growing. — Glow With Yiga
