10: My Other Life as an Employee


Listen Later

This episode is the one I’m scared to share. I’m coming out with something that’s been holding me back in my business and my career: SURPRISE, I still have a day job.

For seven years I haven’t told clients I have a career in nonprofits and I haven’t shared with my work colleagues that I’m a business owner. Living this dual life has been exhausting and kept me from fully tapping into why it’s beneficial to everyone that I am continuously growing in multiple directions.

In this episode I share:

  • The struggle to keep cover all of my experiences and interests under one job title;
  • What it’s like to work for someone else as an entrepreneur;
  • The specific concerns I had about sharing my educational and professional background with clients;
  • Why I don’t consider my business a “side hustle”;
  • The unexpected freedom work gives me in my business; and
  • How long I’m planning on balancing both work streams.
