Starting a business has so many amazing benefits that have helped me on my positive living journey in the form of self-care, a productive hobby, a creative outlet, giving me something to be excited about, + most importantly a way to help other women by sharing my story.

But I know that starting your own business or blog…whether it be a part-time, full-time, a side hustle, multi-level marketing, or a hobby…can seem a little overwhelming at first, especially if you’re brand new to the online business world. So, for all my ladies who are thinking about launching their own brand, business, or blog, I’m sharing my best pieces of advice + my favorite digital resources with you!

In this episode, I share about:

• Why to start your own business

• How to juggle the time of starting a new business or project

• How to overcome the negative mindsets that creep in

• Why it’s okay to desire success + why you’re worthy of it

• How to advertise your business while on a budget

• My favorite online business tools

• How to determine your pricing

• How to grow your business

• How your personal growth plays into your business growth

Memorable Quotes:

“If it’s a passion, treat it like a passion. If it’s a service, a mission, something that you want to help people with, if it’s an outlet, if it’s a form of self-care...or all of the above, treat with the importance that it deserves, and show up.”

HEY I'M SAMI WOMACK

I'm the wife to my high school sweetheart, Daniel, + homeschooling momma to our 3 girls. I'm the Budgeting Coach + Motivational Speaker behind 
A Sunny Side Up Life.

My family used to be in $490k of debt + living paycheck-to-paycheck, but after we hit rock bottom everything changed for us!

Now that my family has become debt free + gained financial freedom, I want to help your family do the same! My passion is inspiring women to live abundant lives through budgeting, intentional living, and positive thinking.

I offer a jump start into budgeting with my free 8-day Declutter Your Budget Challenge + full budgeting experience with my course, Your Sunny Money Method.
