Side Hustle Moms by Busy Mom Collective

• As someone with a side hustle, I am sure many of us have a dream to eventually quit your full-time and completely run your own business full time, but for many reasons including financially, this option may not be in the cards right now. Today, I am sharing some tips on how to stay positive when you feel "stuck" in your full-time job.
• The first thing I suggest anyone to start doing when you're feeling stuck is, when you're at your full-time job, do a good job! I'll admit that I've gone through phases at work when I was not giving it my all and I wasn't being the best me. When I realized that I needed to step up and value the work for MYSELF, I was able to shake off those bad vibes and get back into a groove where I was able to put effort and energy in everything that I did.
• Leave work at work. This can be difficult especially for caseworkers, nurses, teachers, etc. As a teacher, I don't call my students my kids for no reason. I feel personally responsible even if they are not currently in my care so it can be difficult sometimes to not bring work at home. Now, if you feel that you are needing a mental break, have a process that you go through to leave work at work. For me, every day before I leave work, I take a walk around my classroom and I straighten things up in a certain order. This lets my brain know that it's the end of the day and you can now focus on something else other than work!
• Make a plan! If you are those that want to leave your job but you can't for whatever reason, then create a plan and have something in writing. If you know you need to make x amount of dollars every month than you have a goal!

  • "Having that income goal can also be a way for you to motivate yourself to build your business, stronger, better, and faster!" - Stacey Ogden

• Before leaving your job, don't burn your bridges! Although you can tend to mentally sign out and withdrawal from everyone, remember that these connections at your current job could also lead you to new clients!

• Let things go! One of the things that I hear a lot from clients that are holding them back is guilt. Why is that? They feel guilty for leaving the job that they've spent so much time and money on a degree they may no longer use. Let me tell you, learning is never a waste! There is so such thing as wasted learning whether you use the skills directly or not, the process of learning can only benefit you!
• My last tip... be grateful! Maybe your current job no longer holds your passions because things change. When I was in college, this whole working online thing was certainly not a thing. Things change and we all grow but remember this, your job is not the enemy, it provides for your family and that's something to be grateful for. No matter what job you're doing, it is currently allowing you the freedom to explore new options for yourself!
