Today I am bringing you an awesome conversation between me and Emma of Authenticity Remastered. She shares her journey from living in India to deciding to become an Entrepreneur. In our conversation, we talk all about the struggles and realities of being an entrepreneur and guys we got really transparent.  We talked about understanding the dream and idea of what the entrepreneurial journey looks like vs. the reality of it.

We shifted from burnout to setting realistic goals, to the ultimate need for authenticity. So truth be told this one sits a little different because we both had a few aha moments during the conversation and it was so refreshing.  So lean in, listen and then connect on social to join the conversation.  Let's go!

In today's episode, I am answering a common question I receive regarding branding as a side-hustler.  One of the biggest concerns as a side-hustling solopreneur is how your side-hustle is going to be perceived by your employer and your fellow peers.  While we are often worried about that, we are also worried about how we can properly brand and market our business since we are a business of one.  Don't worry, you are not alone, it Is a conundrum that most side-hustlers have to deal with on a regular basis.  So, I want to share with you how I solved this issue and how it has impacted me and my business.

In this episode, I want to help you spend your money and your time in the right places and wasting either on the wrong tools for your business just isn't it.  So I am sharing with you my process for evaluating new tools or replacement tools for my business and for the businesses of my clients.  It's important that you evaluate new or replacement tools in the right way to ensure you are right-sizing your tools for your environment and your budget.  All tools aren't created equal and they aren't meant for everyone.  Since I am currently going through this process in my own business, I thought it would be helpful for me to share my process with you.
