    The End of an Era

    The End of an Era

    My side-hustling friends, I have come to the realization that it's time to say goodbye to the GOT SIDE HUSTLE show. As it started, "ELEVATE YOUR 8" and morphed into GOT SIDE HUSTLE, I have made some amazing friends and learned so much about myself and what it takes to build a business.
    I have come to really understand productivity and time management and how I can make the best of every hour in every day.
    I have created systems and procedures for working my side hustles in less than one hour a day.
    And now it's time to do something different.
    The show will still be around - and from time to time I will likely do a special episode when I really have something to say or I have a great guest...
    But until then, the GOT SIDE HUSTLE show is always here for you.
    THANK YOU for being part of this community and for subscribing to the show.  I appreciate each and every one of you more than I can possibly say.

    Everything I Ever Learned About My Side Hustle I Learned From EMPIRE RECORDS

    Everything I Ever Learned About My Side Hustle I Learned From EMPIRE RECORDS

    HAPPY REX MANNING DAY!  In honor of this amazing annual event, where we eat special brownies, pizza, and watch the delightful 1995 movie about teen angst, music, and making your dreams come true (sort of) - today's episode features Side Hustle Lessons derived from some of my FAVORITE moments in the film EMPIRE RECORDS.  
    From ABC.NET.AU: "
    If you grew up in 1990s, you might be familiar with Empire Records.
    The film, which followed a raggedy crowd of employees at an independent record store facing corporate takeover, resonated with those of us who listened to "alternative music" and wanted to telegraph our displeasure at The Man.
    It was a very cool thing," Jenna Guillaume, a pop culture writer and the author of two works of young adult fiction, told me when we spoke about Empire Records, which was released 25 years ago.
    "The characters were outsiders and you were an outsider if you loved it and that became a token of your cool status."
    But the film was a disaster.
    It was abandoned by its studio just weeks before its release.
    While it gave early platforms to Liv Tyler and Renee Zellweger, critics mostly dumped on it and it barely made it to US screens, let alone Australian ones.
    With a budget of more than $US10 million, it made just $US150,000 in cinemas."
    Anyway - I have derived more than my fair share of enjoyment from this film and I'm thrilled today to be able to share some amazing lessons on rocking your side hustle and doing the passionate work you were made to do!!

    Self Care and the Side Hustle

    Self Care and the Side Hustle

    Hey - before we dig into this week’s episode, I want to tell you about some super cool things coming up with my affiliate relationship with ULTIMATE BUNDLES:
    The Collective:  The Collective is a membership that will help you conquer your online business, whether you are a blogger, content creator, or an affiliate marketer (or aspire to be one!).  Each month has a different topic and different expert.   This month, March, we’re covering Pinterest Marketing.  And yes, I know - I’ve got my own membership that I’m promoting, THE SMART SIDE HUSTLE SOCIETY.  Guess what?  I believe in The Collective so much that I’m willing to give you three free months of my membership when you join The Collective.   Just email me your registration confirmation and I will hook you up!!  
    The Ultimate Side Hustle Challenge - it’s BACK!  Starting up in mid-March, this challenge is just two weeks and I am a featured coach again.  If you haven’t started your Side Hustle yet, this challenge is perfect for you.  There are daily lessons within the challenge Facebook Group and PRIZES!  Check it out here. 
    Okay, so why does Self Care matter and why do we need it?  One of my favorite quotes is from Eleanor Brown:  "you cannot serve from an empty vessel."  And that goes for your side hustle as much as it goes for your day job, work-life balance, and everything else.  Without self-care, you cannot take care of anyone or anything - and that includes your side hustle.
    This quick-and-dirty episode gets to the heart of self-care and why we need it.  And I'd LOVE to hear from you on what kinds of self care YOU utilize.  
    See you next time!

    When the Day Job Ramps Up - Here are FIVE Tips for Avoiding Overwhelm and Moving Forward with Your Side Hustle

    What's that old adage - "Teach What You Know?"
    Right now I totally know what OVERWHELM feels like.  For shizzle.
    And thus, instead of burying my head in the sand and ignoring my overwhelm, I'm choosing to focus, get my bearings, and tell y'all what I'm learning. 
    This week's episode focuses on some tips and strategies when it starts to get super duper crazy at your day job and you don't want to fall behind with your side hustle(s).  And what I'm learning during this period is that it's really REALLY important for me to give myself a little grace and realize that this is all temporary.  You bet.
