Recently I read an article in Entrepreneur magazine about why the term "side hustler" is not really as admirable as you may think.

For a long time I've felt this way too.  The word "hustler" always brought up so many negative feelings and imagery.

Building a business takes real courage, and yes hard work, but it shouldn't feel like a hustle.

Let me break it down why I'm not a believer in side hustling:

1) When you think of yourself as a "side hustler" and tell people...this is my side hustle...it doesn't feel like a real business.

If you want people to take you seriously, stop calling yourself a side hustler.

When you're building a business, even while you're still working in your current career, you are an Entrepreneur.  Period.

Let me ask you a question...are you afraid that your new business may not be able to support you?

It's a question a lot of would be entrepreneurs ask and you might be wondering as well.  

In today's video, I share with you 3 key things you must do before you even think about giving your notice to your manager. 

Doing these 3 things will:

#1:  Give you a strong foundation to build a business that will support you

#2:  Give you the confidence that your business will make money, instead of guessing

#3:  Give you clarity on the financial target that will allow you to walk away

Without question, when set up correctly, your new business can replace your income.  

Don't let fear hold you back from taking the steps to finally make 2021 the year you get your business launched.

As we close out the end of 2020, one of the most memorable years on record, I'd like to reflect on some lessons learned.  Without a doubt, some of these lessons were not easy to take, but I hope you will find some value in them.  

Lesson #1:  You must have an income that you control.

This year, unlike any other, has made it so abundantly clear that anyone who only had one source of income was vulnerable.  Vulnerable to losing your income in the minute it took for you to take that call from your manager that you were being furloughed.  Vulnerable to losing the roof over your head.  Vulnerable to loosing everything.

When you have an income that you control, no one can take that away from you.  You get to create real financial security because you create and control what you make.

Lesson #2:  Adaptability is key to survival.

A few years ago, the buzz word everywhere was the "pivot".  You had to be able to pivot or adapt if you were...

I love a good dream!  And most of the times I can even remember the details when I wake up.  If I'm lucky enough to remember it all, I can't wait to share it with my husband, Jeffrey.

Maybe you've had some vivid dreams about being your own boss, but you're ready to stop talking about it and be about it.

It can be fun to dream about that business you want to create, but dreams alone won't get you very far.

When I was still working in the corporate world, I spent years dreaming about what I would do when I finally went out on my own.  What helped me finally turn those dreams into reality are the steps I'm sharing with you below.

Step #1:  Make a decision and commit to it

I made the decision that I was finally going to work on my exit plan.  This step may seem easy, but the hardest part for most people is making the decision that you want things to change.  Once you've made the decision, you then have to commit to seeing the journey through and doing...
