Trust Your Inner Voice: The Key to Balancing Your 9-5 and Side Hustle


Hello Reader,

Today, I want to share something crucial with you - something that could be the game-changer in your journey to balance your 9-5 job and your budding side hustle.

Last month, I found myself in a whirlwind of conflicting advice about growing my coaching business. One expert swore by daily social media posts, while another insisted that focusing on one-on-one client relationships was the only way to go.

Sound familiar?

As women juggling careers, families, and entrepreneurial dreams, we're bombarded with advice from all directions. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, isn't it?

But here's what I've learned: The most important voice to listen to is your own.

You see, I spent years trying to follow every piece of advice I received. I'd jump from strategy to strategy, always chasing the next "foolproof" method. The result? Exhaustion, frustration, and a business that wasn't truly aligned with my values or goals.

It wasn't until I started trusting my own instincts that things began to shift. I realized that what works for one person might not work for another - and that's okay.

Your journey is unique. Your strengths, your challenges, your dreams - they're all uniquely yours. And you are the expert on your own life.

So, how do we tap into this inner wisdom?

  1. Take time for reflection: Set aside quiet moments to check in with yourself. What feels right? What doesn't?
  2. Trust your gut: That little voice inside? It's often right. Learn to listen to it.
  3. Adapt, don't copy: Learn from others, but always adapt their advice to fit your specific situation.
  4. Celebrate your uniqueness: Your individual experiences and perspectives are your superpower. Use them!

Since embracing this approach, I've seen a remarkable shift in my business and my life. I'm more aligned with my true self, and as a result, I'm attracting people who resonate with my message.

If you're struggling to hear your own inner wisdom or trust yourself to make the right decisions for your career and side hustle, I'm here to help. Let's work together to uncover your unique path and create a concrete action plan that aligns with your goals, your values, and your life.

Hello Reader, When it comes to growing your business, there's always a 'new' strategy that's trending. I've been working on my side business for almost a decade. I've seen many trends come and go. After a while, it feels like everything just comes in cycles. Isn't that the case for so many things? Fashion, music, financial markets, etc. Although trends come and go, one thing has remained the same in my business growing journey: To do work that makes a difference to women's lives, while making...

Hello Reader, 2024 was the year I decided to learn how to make friends on LinkedIn. I'm an introvert and my idea of a fun night is staying home and catching up on my Netflix series and chilling with my family. Going out to meet strangers in a 'networking' event to grow my business was the last thing I wanted to do. But it's one of those business activities you know you have to do even if you don't feel like doing it. Rather than go out in person, an easier step for me was to start networking...

Hello Reader, I got this unkind remark this past week in response to a comment I made on a post by Austin Belcak about Cisco cutting 5,500 jobs. Here was my comment on Austin's post: My comment had obviously triggered something in this person. There was some discussion following my comment with others, but they were respectful as we shared our different perspectives. TBH, reading that comment pissed me off. I was tempted to re-engage in a 'debate' about his assumption about me being ignorant...
