196: Your Business Doesn't Have to be “Full Time” to be Successful (Why Side Hustles Are AMAZING!)

 Ever felt the pressure to quit your day job if you’re “really all in” on your business dreams? Maybe you believe you have to hate your 9 to 5 if you’re a “true entrepreneur”? There is a major pressure (in online business especially) on new or aspiring business owners to quit their day job, give 2 weeks notice, and “abandon all things” if you ACTUALLY care about your business dreams. Oh and, of course, when you do all of that — you have to set the goal of making a 6-figure income. That is fine for some people, but I don’t believe everyone is called to that.  Today we’re talking about how you don’t have to be full time to be successful in your business, and why that idea is a fallacy. And additionally, I have 6 reasons why it can actually be a GOOD thing if your business is your side hustle.  So whether you’re dreaming of starting a business, side hustling right now at your 9 to 5, or have been at it for years, this episode is for you. I’m covering it all, and newer business owners, you’ll especially want to tune into this one!  Links mentioned in this episode:- Get the full show notes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/196 - Hear my story of what life was like when I started my business on episode #165: https://elizabethmccravy.com/5-essential-beginner-business-lessons/  - Reference the side hustles statistics I mentioned: https://www.incfile.com/blog/side-hustle-statistics  - Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/
