Starting a side hustle allows you to test your business idea before fully committing to it and can help you validate it by doing market research, leveraging social media, and messaging. It also allows you to see if your business is financially viable. This gives you the opportunity to develop the skills and experiences you need to be a successful entrepreneur. A side hustle should be treated as a serious business and requires discipline, time management, and goal-setting. Take it seriously and don't be discouraged if version 1.0 doesn't work. Martine has a call to action for you to hit

In this episode, you will learn the following:

• How can a side hustle help you transition out of a nine-to-five grind?

Starting a business with very little capital is called bootstrapping. It can be done by utilizing existing resources, such as your home office, or by starting small and scaling up as you generate more revenue. I personally switched to Zyro to build my website. It is professional and perfect for my pocket. Zyro is perfect for self-employed individuals looking to position themselves online without breaking the bank. Check it out HERE.

I decided to relaunch my podcast and share the inspiring stories of successful entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners just like me, who have achieved financial independence through self-employment.      My intention is to challenge and inspire listeners like yourself to take the leap and create the life and business you deserve.   I have been online for almost a decade and share my experience of pivoting to self-employment after I was laid off during the pandemic. I decided to relaunch my podcast: 1. to create content more relevant to my current situation, 2. to share new skills and knowledge, 3. to revamp the format of the podcast, 3. to focus on a specific audience and 4. to tell stories of those who have retired early or achieved financial freedom.    The podcast will feature interviews with successful entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners, as well as solo episodes from me, and advice on how to build productivity while in a corporate job.

"You have to be willing to pivot. You have to be willing to adjust to the market, situation, lifestyle, and demand changes. And not for nothing, the time that we spent surviving through the pandemic really highlighted and augmented certain points in our lives that made us think twice about how we lived and how we made money and how we did business."

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How can you create a life and business you love through self-employment?
2. What skills do you need for financial freedom and how can you gain them?
3. How can you tap into the gig economy and knowledge economy while still having a day job?

Jess Smith is a Certified EFT/Tapping practitioner at her company Jess Smith Coaching. After leaving the corporate world to start her own business, she quickly realized being an entrepreneur was more stressful than she had imagined. It also unearthed some pretty powerful limiting beliefs. By chance, Jess was introduced to tapping. She found that it supported her in going from feeling overwhelmed, anxious and chaotic to being empowered, grounded, and feeling confident in her business vision. The experience of how tapping supported her, along with her love of personal development work, inspired her to share tapping with others. Jess now uses tapping to help spiritual coaches release limiting beliefs and fears so they can have the easy and abundant businesses that they have always wanted! In her free time, she loves reading, working on art projects, and hanging out with her sassy tabby cat, Mimi. https://www.jesssmithcoaching.com/tapping/free1 IG: @jesssmithcoaching FB Personal: https://www.facebook.com/jess.smith.184007/ FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/jesssmithcoaching TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jesssmithcoaching
