• How I figured out what Self-Care actually looks like for ME.
• 3 very personal lessons that changed my life.

“Step outside of FEAR because you have it in you and can totally do it.”
At this point, anyone with a business needs to be in the Digital space. Point blank period. But that space has so many  components that it can be daunting, especially when trying to figure out Marketing. This goes beyond creating a social media account and sharing some posts, then keeping your fingers crossed. Like any part of business, you need a Strategy, and while terms like “digital marketing”, “social media marketing” and  “Content creating” may sound interchangeable - they’re actually NOT!

“Keep moving forward boldly, God has your back” - Girija Patel.

Everyone has been hearing more and more about ChatGPT and other AI tools that seem to have completely taken over how we communicate. While they are great tools that come with many pros (even I can’t deny that), what about the cons? Is there actually a wrong way to use AI? Omgoodness has anyone considered how using it can impact you legally?

That’s why I’m happy to have Girija Patel, Founder and Attorney at GBP Law, join me for this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers. She answers all of those burning questions and really breaks down what you NEED to do before using AI in your business.

Here's what is covered:
- What you should understand about AI and how it actually works.
- The ONE thing that most people actually neglect doing when using AI.
- The 3 important factors that everyone needs to take seriously about information from AI.
- The legal ramifications of misusing AI for your Business.

Girija is a mom, a wife, lawyer, podcaster, strategist, educator, and a business owner in Houston, Texas. Her law practice, GBP Law, specifically focuses on helping entrepreneurs and on-line business owners build their business’ legal fundamentals and integrate legal as a part of their strategy so they can move forward confidently and do what they love! Her goal is to help make legal a line item and not a panic attack!
In 2020, Girija launched Your Contract Buddy (www.yourcontractbuddy.com), an online contract template shop, and also founded her podcast, Law Chat with Girija. From her days of being a prosecutor to managing her own law practice and to being lead legal strategist for your business, Girija’s core value to serve her community remains at the center of all her endeavors.

“It’s important to identify who your target audience is and their interests, so you can create content for them." - Sherley Joseph.

Networking is a key ingredient of any successful business, and as Entrepreneurs it can take us beyond where we could have ever imagined.

But what happens if you notice a gap in the type of network you need? You create one! Well, that’s what this week’s guest - Sherley Joseph, Founder of Black Canadian Creators - did when she noticed that she couldn’t find a way to connect with other Black Canadian creators.

In this Episode, Sherley shares her story of starting a podcast before it was as popular as it is now, and where that journey took her.

She also talks about:
- How she was able to turn a frustration into starting her own community.
- The lengths that she had to go to in order to get noticed by her peers.
- The biggest advantage that comes from building a digital community.

Sherley Joseph is a Co-founder of The Chonilla Network, which is a podcast collective with thought-provoking and entertaining shows in Canada and the US. She is also the creator of the Black Canadian Creators digital community on Facebook and a podcast host. With a background in Radio Broadcasting from Humber College and over 15 years of experience in the new media tech industry, she aims to create a multicultural podcast platform and communal realm through various online social channels.

Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!

I remember feeling unfulfilled while working at my 9to5 job and being overlooked for recognition despite my hard work. IT. SUCKED.

BUT I wanted to be able to turn a negative experience into a positive one when I started reflecting on my 9to5 experience, especially since it wasn’t ALL bad. I promise you that there is a lot that you can take away from it. It’s all about perspective.

This episode of The Shine to FIVE Method for Side Hustlers is for those of you who, like many of my clients, also struggle with feeling under-appreciated at your 9to5. 
Once you listen to the 10 things I wish I had understood while working a 9-5 job, I'd love to hear your feedback! What are some valuable lessons that you learned?
