One way to make progress on your financial goals is to have a side gig, or side hustle as some people call it. I have been doing real estate photography on the side for over 4 years now, but the question is how do you scale it and turn it into something that does not eat up all your personal time? I'm also calling out my cousin Samson to be on my podcast and share his story!

Making career changes or other life altering changes can be very scary and even sometimes a blow to your ego. How do we get past the emotions and shame around these choices and see them for what they are?

So I’ve come up with a plan that looks great on paper but how do I keep emotions from getting in the way?

My good friend, mentor, and manager sits down and shares his wealth of investing and budgeting experience. Where do you start? How do you have the right mental outlook, to begin with? We discuss this and more. I'm hoping this is the first of many conversations with him on this podcast.

I reworked some numbers and realized my plan is even better than I thought!

Until now the idea of investing and saving for the future was an after thought. And that’s putting it generously since it hasn’t really been happening until very recently. My new approach is to put money aside towards those things first and then building the rest of the budget around that from highest priority to lowest. This means some things will need to be sacrificed for now in the name of a bigger and better goal.

It turns out I needed to adjust my expectations and plans. Guess what? I’m more excited than ever now that I have a much clearer vision of my reality and my updated approach to meet my goal of saving/earning $40k towards my home upgrade!

I have a plan to upgrade my home in 2 years. I need $40k saved to put down an appropriate down payment based on my anticipated equity at the time that I sell. I am putting aside $500 a month towards this goal. Are my expectations realistic? Let’s find out!
