Dr. Amber Lyda graduated Side Hustle Support Group 1 year ago and is stopping by to share her experience in the program.   Amber's story is unique in the sense that she already had a big audience excited for her new business.   In fact, she'd already been coaching for a while and had one launch under her belt.   So, why did she decide to enroll in the program?   In this episode we talk in depth about her business journey. How she went from feeling messy and unorganized to having a replicable system for continued sales and the business structures to grow even bigger.   We get super honest about her future plans, outsourcing specific tasks, six-figure launches and how Side Hustle has helped her do them all.

MYTH: You need a fully built website to start your side hustle.

The truth is don’t need a website at all in the beginning. Some of the biggest names out there in the online income space don’t even have those traditional Wordpress websites at all.

Sounds counterintuitive right?

Don’t get me wrong, there will come a time when you need a website for your online business, but for now, you just need to capture emails and take money - which you can do for FREE.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how to build your business without going through the effort or the expense of building out a full website.

When we decide to take the plunge into online income, creative energy can sweep us off our feet.

We finally have this ah-ha moment of what we want to do and how we want to do it, so we rush out to see it come to fruition. We go out and make the thing that serves our ideal customers.

Creating our course, membership site, or group program is a safe zone for us clinicians, and teaching is a natural extension of our skillset. But staying in the comfort zone actually delays our ability to serve others and make more money.

So, if you feel like staying up all night and drinking 1,000 cups of coffee to build your program, or if it feels more comfortable to curate your curriculum, I recommend you stop and pause.

Before you spend hours and hours creating your program, learn how to sell it first.

In this episode, I’m sharing why audience building and selling should come before creating.

It’s undeniable that one of the biggest concerns of starting a side hustle is not having the time. Therapists come to me wanting to diversify their caseloads, take back control of their businesses and have an income stream outside of the therapy room. But they're always concerned with is how much time it's going to take.

Don’t get me wrong, building an online income stream doesn't happen overnight. If you want to add a supplemental arm to your practice, you’re going to have to make some decisions with your time and sometimes those decisions are going to be difficult.

My goal for you is to be able to make those hard decisions with more confidence.

When we don’t know where the time is coming from to spend on our side hustle and what we’re doing with that time that’s when overwhelm kicks in. 

Today I’m sharing how I arrived at a 16 hours a week and what I prioritize with that time.

For this coaching call, I talk with Latisha, a licensed psychotherapist who wants to break out of the clinical box and offer her co-parenting expertise to a wider audience outside of the therapy room.

So, in this episode we boost her confidence by diving into strategy and coming up with an action plan to make her online income stream a reality. 

With all that’s going on in the world, you might be stuck with a lot of questions about online income. I’m hosting a Pick My Brain Panel with five other therapeutic entrepreneurs and we’ll be sharing how to diversify your therapy income. Click here to join us April 23rd for a live Q&A.

We are living with a lot of uncertainty right now. Life as we know it is changing day by day. As this pandemic unfolds before us we are wrestling with questions, emotions, and decisions.

Most people fall into two categories when it comes to dealing with this stress; we have those who are diving headfirst in their small business more motivated than ever and some have pushed paused on their side hustle for now. Both are valid responses. No matter how you choose to move forward, I’m here to support you.

Today’s episode is a Facebook Live from the Empathy Rising Community. In this Live, I give tangible steps on how to move forward with authentic messaging and building an audience if you decide to get your business started. If you have decided to push pause, for now, I give you strategies on what to do during your break.

It's more apparent than ever that having diversified income streams is important. Especially having a way to make money online.

And yet, the thing that keeps most people from starting is the fact that they don’t have an audience yet. Influencers say you need a huge audience to have successful launches, but that’s just not true.

You can create your online income stream on your terms.  

When you align your side hustle with your goals, you’ll start to feel much more intentional about the size of your audience not like you’re just chasing some arbitrary number. And you’ll also realize you’re ready to start a lot sooner than you thought.
