If anyone tells you being self-employed is the easy option, then you have my permission to laugh right there and then on the spot!
As well as doing the work of our business, marketing our products/services, and keeping our mindset set on success, we also have to do our accounts, tend to our clients or customers, and have a life. (I’m not doing so well on the life one ☺).
This week I’ve been moving my Niche Business Academy from Podia to Payhip, and so far I’m loving the platform! Working with clients as a VA, writing for Medium, recording my podcast, and many other plates that I keep spinning.
It sounds a lot doesn’t it? And it is. But even though I’m busy, I have to say I thrive on it. When I think back to life in a corporate environment it just doesn’t compare. I love what I do now.
I hope you feel the same about your business or side hustle. If you are having a wobble, feeling like when will success come my way, or you are just feeling overwhelmed, think back to why you started down this path in the first place. Pull out from thoughts of where you are right now in this moment and consider the bigger picture. It might be difficult right now, but you are on a path that is taking you somewhere better. Look ahead to the horizon, not down at your feet.
Before I leave you, here are a couple of things you might want to read or listen to. Enjoy!
