Welcome and welcome back to Clocked OUT. The podcast helping you build a business that pays you while you're still on payroll. Hosted by Ericka Nicole, a corporate executive assistant supporting C-suite leaders by day and the founder of the Clocked Out Collective by every other hour, this show is for the woman building her exit while she's still clocked in. The business playbook wasn't written for the 9-to-5 founder.

Clocked Out exists to close that gap. Every episode hands you the systems, the strategy, and the truth about what it actually takes to build something real when your calendar already belongs to someone else. We talk about the structure that protects your time, the moves that turn a side project into paycheck-replacing income, and the mindset shift that separates the founder still guessing from the founder with a plan. Inside the podcast, we cover: How to structure your business around a job you haven't quit yetBuilding income that can eventually replace your paycheckGetting visible and known without adding another job to your jobWhat it actually takes to plan your exit, on your timelineReal conversations with women who built it while employed You're not just a 9-to-5 employee with a dream.

    The Missing Brand Strategy That Helps You Go From Side Hustle to CEO | Ep 158

If you've ever wondered why your business isn't growing even though your offer is solid, your clients get results, and you're doing all the "right" things... this episode might be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. Because here's the truth: being good at what you do and looking credible to the people you're trying to serve are two very different things. In this episode of Clocked Out, I'm joined by one of the smartest brand strategists I know, Miranda , founder of Vuka Brands and the woman responsible for helping shape both my skincare brand, Silkenn, and the rebrand of this podcast. And let me tell you—she doesn't believe in slapping a logo on your business and calling it a brand. We're talking about the real reason people aren't buying, why your audience may be perceiving your business completely differently than you intended, and how to build a brand that creates trust before you ever make a sales pitch. If you're a female entrepreneur building a side hustle while working a 9-to-5 and trying to figure out how to quit your job without gambling your future, this conversation is required listening. In This Episode We Cover: * Why having a good product or service isn't enough to grow your business * The biggest disconnect between how business owners see their brands and how customers actually experience them * Why "branding" is so much more than colors, fonts, and a logo * The dangerous cost of building your business in isolation * How brand strategy acts as the roadmap for every business decision you make * Why understanding your ideal customer is the foundation of effective positioning * The role perception plays in purchasing decisions * How to create credibility even when you're a bootstrapped founder * Why social media isn't the only way to build a successful brand * The shift from traditional branding to ecosystem and world-building * How community can help you avoid expensive mistakes in business * What consistency really means beyond matching your Instagram feed and website Key Takeaways Your brand is not what you say it is—it's what your audience experiences. Without a clear brand strategy, everyone involved in your business starts creating their own version of your brand, resulting in mixed messaging and missed opportunities. The strongest brands aren't built around what the founder likes. They're built around what the audience needs, values, and responds to. And perhaps most importantly: if you're trying to build a business that will eventually allow you to quit your job, you can't afford to build in the wrong direction.

    157: Why These Business Owners are Running Back to Their 9 to 5's...

    Ready to build the business that replaces your 9-to-5? 👉 Join us inside the Clocked Out Collective at start.clockedout.media. Thinking about quitting your 9-to-5 to go all in on your business? Before you hand in that resignation letter, you need to hear this. After falling down a YouTube rabbit hole of creators and influencers announcing their return to corporate jobs, I noticed a pattern that every aspiring entrepreneur needs to understand. The problem wasn't that they failed. The problem was that they exited too soon. In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between a desperate exit and a strategic one, why burnout happens when you build a business without infrastructure, and the three things every female entrepreneur needs before leaving her 9-to-5 behind. If you're currently building a side hustle while working full-time, this episode might save you from making a very expensive mistake. A growing number of creators and influencers are quietly returning to their 9-to-5 jobs—and their stories reveal an important lesson for every entrepreneur building a business on the side. In this episode of Boss Babe Reset, Ericka Nicole breaks down what these "back to corporate" announcements are really teaching us about entrepreneurship, burnout, business infrastructure, and sustainable growth. If you've ever felt impatient to leave your job, wondered how much revenue you really need before quitting, or questioned whether you're moving fast enough, this conversation is for you. You'll learn why visibility is not the same thing as a business model, how your paycheck may actually be your greatest business asset right now, and the three non-negotiables you need before making your exit. Because the goal isn't to escape your 9-to-5. The goal is to build a business strong enough to hold you once you're gone. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: • Why so many creators are returning to traditional jobs • The hidden risks of relying on brand deals and social media income • The difference between business revenue and attention-based income • How burnout impacts creators and business owners • Why your 9-to-5 may be your greatest advantage right now • The "desperation threshold" and how to avoid crossing it • The three pillars of a successful exit strategy • Why proven revenue matters more than projected revenue • The importance of business systems and infrastructure • How much financial runway you really need before quitting • The identity trap that keeps entrepreneurs stuck • Building a business that doesn't depend on your daily presence • How to create sustainable income while working a full-time job KEY TAKEAWAYS ✔️ Your job is not the obstacle—it's funding your future. ✔️ A platform is not a business. An offer is a business. ✔️ Burnout often happens when your income depends entirely on your visibility. ✔️ A successful exit requires proven revenue, infrastructure, and runway. ✔️ Building a business with a 9-to-5 gives you more flexibility and better decision-making power. ✔️ The best exits feel like decisions, not relief. If this episode helped you rethink your exit strategy, leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and share it with another ambitious woman building her business alongside her career.

Think you need a fancy studio, expensive equipment, or thousands of followers before you can start a podcast? Think again. In this episode, I'm joined by podcast strategist and producer Marie Walker, founder of Your Girl Media, to break down exactly how female entrepreneurs can use podcasting as a lead-generating machine while they're still working a 9-to-5. If you've been putting podcasting in the "someday" pile because you're short on time, worried no one will listen, or overwhelmed by all the moving pieces, this conversation is for you. Marie shares the same strategies she's used to help founders build six and seven-figure businesses through podcasting, including how to create a show that converts listeners into paying clients, where a podcast fits inside your marketing funnel, and why you don't need YouTube to get started. Whether you're looking for a side hustle, building a business after work hours, or ready to establish yourself as an authority in your industry, this episode will show you how to start a podcast without burning yourself out. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why podcasting keeps getting pushed to the "later" list for busy entrepreneursThe biggest mistake people make when launching a podcastHow to niche down and attract buyers, not just listenersWhy podcasting is one of the most powerful lead generation tools availableWhere a podcast fits inside your marketing funnelAudio-only podcasts vs. YouTube: what actually mattersHow to grow your audience without relying solely on social mediaPodcast SEO tips that help people discover your showGuesting on podcasts to accelerate growthHow to batch record episodes when you're short on timeWhy shorter episodes often outperform longer onesThe truth about podcast downloads and what actually mattersThe 90-day roadmap to launch and monetize your podcastKey Takeaways ✨ A podcast doesn't need to go viral to make you money. ✨ Your podcast should move listeners from curious followers to warm leads. ✨ The more niche your show, the more likely listeners are to become buyers. ✨ Consistency beats perfection every single time. ✨ You don't need a professional studio to start a podcast—you just need a strategy. ✨ Podcasting is a long game, but the payoff compounds over time.

If you've been told that growing your business means spending every free minute creating content, chasing trends, and feeding the algorithm, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Because here's the truth: You do not need to be on social media all day to attract customers, build visibility, and grow a profitable business. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I stepped away from posting on social media for nearly a year—and my business didn't fall apart. In fact, it kept growing. We're talking about the marketing assets, systems, and visibility channels that continue working for you while you're in meetings, answering emails, living your life, and yes... still collecting that paycheck. If you're a female entrepreneur building a side hustle while working a 9-to-5, this conversation is going to change how you think about marketing forever. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✨ Why social media should support your business—not run your life ✨ The surprising channels that were generating more customers than Instagram ✨ How to identify where your clients are actually finding you ✨ Why podcasting is one of the most powerful visibility strategies for employed entrepreneurs ✨ How to build an email list that becomes a long-term business asset ✨ The referral and word-of-mouth strategy most business owners completely overlook ✨ How to leverage your existing professional network for business growth ✨ The "Lean Social Model" for staying visible without constant posting ✨ How to market your business when you have limited time and energy Key Takeaways ✔️ Visibility is not the same thing as posting daily. ✔️ Your business needs infrastructure, not constant performance. ✔️ Long-form content creates lasting trust and authority. ✔️ Email marketing is still one of the highest-converting business assets you can own. ✔️ Referrals should be treated like a system—not a happy accident. ✔️ The smartest entrepreneurs build marketing strategies that work even when they're offline.

    154: How to Pay Yourself From Your Business While Still Working a 9 to 5

    Ready to build the business that replaces your 9-to-5? 👉 Join us inside the Clocked Out Collective at start.clockedout.media. You know that weird moment when your first business payment hits your account… and instead of feeling successful, you’re just staring at your banking app like: “Okay… now what?” Because nobody talks about this part. Not the branding. Not the LLC TikToks. Not the “quit your job in 90 days” nonsense. I’m talking about the actual mechanics of handling money when you’re building a business while still working your 9-to-5. In this episode, we’re getting real about: how to pay yourself from your business,how to structure your money,why your side hustle needs systems ASAP,and why your paycheck might actually be your biggest business advantage right now.Because if your business is making money and you still have no structure around it? Girl… that confusion will drain you faster than a slow month ever could. IN THIS EPISODE Today we’re talking about: Why most new entrepreneurs struggle with paying themselvesThe biggest money mistake side hustlers make early onWhy you NEED a separate business bank accountThe simple “Owner’s Pay Formula” you can start using immediatelyHow to split your business income for taxes, operations, and owner’s payThe difference between reinvesting everything vs building sustainablyWhy your 9-to-5 paycheck is actually helping you start a business strategicallyHow to avoid burnout while growing your businessWhat an owner’s draw actually is (without the confusing accountant language)Why paying yourself—even just $50—changes how you see your businessKEY TAKEAWAYS ✨ A business that runs on sacrifice instead of systems will eventually collapse. ✨ Your side hustle income should not be floating around in your personal account with your direct deposit. ✨ Structure creates clarity. Clarity creates control. ✨ Paying yourself is not a reward for “making enough money.” It’s a habit that builds sustainability. ✨ Your 9-to-5 is giving you something most entrepreneurs wish they had: stability and runway. ✨ You do NOT need to replace your salary overnight to start treating your business like a real business. THE OWNER’S PAY FORMULA A simple beginner split for service-based businesses: 25–30% → Taxes10–20% → Business OperationsRemaining → Owner’s Pay / Business GrowthThe percentages may shift depending on your stage of business, but the point is this: You decide BEFORE the money comes in where it’s going.

    153: Why Nobody Is Buying from Your Business ( Even If Your Offer is Actually Good )

    Ready to build the business that replaces your 9-to-5? 👉 Join us inside the Clocked Out Collective at start.clockedout.media. If I’m being honest, messaging has humbled me more times than I’d like to admit. For the longest time, I thought if people weren’t buying, it meant I needed to change the offer, lower the price, or completely pivot my business. But the real issue? My messaging wasn’t making people feel anything. I was describing my business instead of actually selling it. And if you’re building a side hustle while working a 9 to 5, that mistake is expensive. Because when you only have a few hours a day to grow your business, your messaging has to do the heavy lifting for you. Today, I sat down with copywriter and messaging expert Lucy Bedewi from My Write Hand Woman to talk about the messaging mistakes quietly costing female entrepreneurs sales every single day. We unpack the difference between explaining your offer versus making people feel like they need it, why bland messaging is hurting your brand, and how to stand out online in a world where AI is making everyone sound exactly the same. If you’re trying to grow your business, improve your productivity, create better work-life balance, and eventually quit your 9 to 5, this episode is going to completely shift how you think about your messaging and sales copy. Because your words matter more than you think they do. In This Episode, We Talk About:  Why weak messaging is leaving money on the table  The difference between describing vs. selling your offer  Why female entrepreneurs struggle to communicate their value clearly  How to create sales copy that actually converts  The messaging strategy every side hustle owner needs  Why “confused buyers don’t buy”  How to stand out online without sounding generic  Why AI is making everyone’s messaging feel the same  The importance of having a strong point of view in business  How to attract aligned buyers and repel the wrong ones  Why your website matters more than constantly posting content  Messaging tips for women balancing a business and a full-time job Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – The messaging mistake that changed everything for me 02:00 – Lucy’s journey to building a multi-six-figure copywriting business 03:00 – Why messaging matters even more when you’re building a side hustle 05:00 – The power of clarity in sales copy 06:00 – Why weak messaging has no point of view 07:00 – How AI is making everyone’s marketing sound the same 08:00 – What a strong brand voice actually looks like 10:00 – Why buyers care more about themselves than your offer 12:00 – Messaging advice for women still working their 9 to 5 13:00 – Before-and-after examples of stronger messaging 16:00 – Demographics vs. psychographics in marketing 18:00 – Why your messaging should match how your buyers want to buy 20:00 – Where to focus first when improving your copy 21:00 – Building a brand while still employed 23:00 – Managing messaging across multiple businesses 25:00 – The biggest messaging mistake quietly costing women money Connect With Lucy Learn more about My Write Hand Woman and follow Lucy for messaging, branding, and sales copy advice for female entrepreneurs ready to grow their business and stand out online.

    152: What Burnout Is Actually Telling You About Your Business Strategy

    Ready to build the business that replaces your 9-to-5? 👉 Join us inside the Clocked Out Collective at start.clockedout.media. I used to think burnout meant I needed rest. More sleep. A vacation. Better boundaries. A weekend off. But the truth? Burnout was actually exposing the holes in my business strategy. In this episode, I’m sharing a very real conversation about what burnout actually looks like when you’re trying to balance a 9-to-5, a growing side hustle, content creation, life responsibilities, and somehow still maintain work life balance without completely losing yourself in the process. Because if you’ve ever opened your laptop and had absolutely nothing left to give… girl, I know that feeling. And I need you to know this:  Burnout does not mean you’re not cut out to be a successful female entrepreneur. In This Episode, I Talk About:  Why I believe burnout is a business diagnostic, not just exhaustion  The moment I realized my business strategy didn’t account for my actual human capacity  Why rest alone won’t solve burnout  The difference between having time and having capacity  My “Capacity Equation” and why energy matters just as much as hours  How adrenaline helped me start my business — but couldn’t sustain it  The Needle-Moving Test I use to prioritize what actually matters  The “Stop, Swap, Shift” framework we teach inside The Reset Room  Why recovery has to be built into your business systems before burnout hits  Key Takeaways: ✨ Burnout is usually a systems problem, not a personal failure  ✨ Time without energy still equals zero capacity  ✨ Not everything in your business deserves the same level of urgency  ✨ Sustainable growth requires intentional recovery  ✨ Simplifying your business is strategic, not lazy Ready to build the business that replaces your 9-to-5? 👉 Join us inside the Clocked Out Collective at start.clockedout.media.
