Finding Freedom with Simple Systems

I stepped out there and decided to launch a podcast in 2020. I have really enjoyed it. And I have learned so much from this experience. In my recent episode, I actually go over the 6 things I have learned from recording and producing my first 19 episodes.

This conversation is such a real one. Join me as my guest, Stacey Greene, and I talk all about how her full-time job obligations have affected her side hustle endeavors. She talks about boundaries, expectations, and how she manages new and future clients.

In this episode, I am having a conversation with Shea Burkett of Planned and Proper. Shea is in the planner world and has a focus on goal setting and follow-through.

Shea got her start providing services for free before deciding to monetize. Shea’s business has seen many phases and continues to grow. Planned and Proper existed for three years before Shea committed full time. 

During our conversation, we explore how Shea has found ways to make it all fit. We dive into how she got her start and the key aspects of her success. She is madly committed to learning and growing and spent a lot of time learning about key players and absorbing all the information she could about the planner space. 

She is incredibly passionate about her business and the work that she does. She claims the greatest joy for her in her business is creating. 

Welcome to the Side Hustle Freedom Podcast! Today I am speaking with Laken Edwards. Laken helps women achieve their goals. She focuses on everything related to goal setting. 

After college, Laken got what she called an adult planner. She joined a Facebook group to learn how to best utilize her planner when she realized she needed helping to figure out how to use her time and fill up the white space.

Laken has beautifully crafted a side hustle around her career allowing her to do both in a way that works for her. Stay tuned for all things efficiency in this episode.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Side Hustle Freedom Podcast! Today I am having a conversation with Taylor Dru, a Systems Strategist. Taylor helps her clients with their backend processes, whether that’s organizing, streamlining, or automating. This gives her clients more time to scale their businesses.

When you are thinking about systems, you’re thinking about the daily routine you go through in your business. Taylor walks through each step of the process to get clear on what exactly the process is. If you don’t have a process at all, then you can make that process more efficient. You can’t automate something that doesn’t exist. You have to put gas in the car first to crank up. 

Listen up to see how you can implement these strategies in your business.

Welcome to another episode of the Side Hustle Freedom Podcast! Today I am joined by guest Aleia Walker. Aleia really wants to help her clients have a more predictable stream of income and serves her clients in a variety of ways.

During our conversation, we talk about all things marketing and business. We’ll dive into exactly what Aleia does, how she fell in the love with marketing, the importance of automation, focusing on your ideal client, and providing the right content at the right time. 

You want to attract and repel so you can hone in on those you can best serve. When it comes to serving those clients, you want them to do something. This can be in an email or sales page. This is where a call to action comes in. It’s important to be clear and specific with your call to actions and limit them as not to overwhelm your client. These are just a few of the topics we explore during this episode. We’ll also take a look at how Aleia overcame saying yes to everything and having a lack of boundaries.

This week’s episode is all about getting down to the basics of systems and workflows. It’s a short episode that gets right to the point about automations. First, I explain the difference between a system, a workflow, and automation. No, they are not each the same, but they are very similar and work very closely together in your side business.  I then share with you the 5 ways that automations can help you in your side hustle, AKA your side business.
