HERE'S SOME ADVICE / SUGGESTIONS / THOUGHTS / COMPONENTS OF THIS QUIZ RESULT TYPE:
1.
You absolutely do not have to call it a side hustle.
I get it. ‘Side hustle’ isn’t fitting for everyone. Maybe this isn't on the side, maybe its a passion, maybe it's a necessity. A ‘happy project’? A ‘new adventure’? Your ‘peace-bringing work’? A ‘new creative roadmap’? You decide. Go ahead and call your non-full-time-work whatever you want to.
​
Just because it's "on the side" doesn't mean it isn't work, and because it is a "hustle" doesn't mean burnt-out-is- an inevitable situation. Your first job is to decide what it is that you are doing!
2.
Climbing the mountain happens one step at a time
Starting a new venture or a creative biz get’s us into the paralysis by analysis mode. And we start thinking of the big mountain ahead of us that we think we need to climb today. But if you know anything about hiking, you get to the top just one step at a time.
Same thing when it comes to productivity. Don’t focus on the big picture, focus on the to do list of today. Big tasks don’t belong on the to do list, you next move or step isn’t necessarily a giant step. It is a small one, that leads to another small one. One a lot of small steps get you up the mountain and create movement!
3.
Go on your own journey at your own pace
Your journey and your path is just that, YOURS. It will not and should not look like someone else’s. I know its hard but do not compare yourself to your friends, your mentors, even the stranger dangers we see while scrolling on the gram. Comparison is the thief of all joy.
Since we are all on our own path, its important to remember that someone may be towards the end of the journey, while you may be in the beginning or the middle. Try as they say “to enjoy the journey” because before you know it, that will be you, well on your way. So manage your expectations and know your path is exactly meant for you and will get you to exactly where you want to be. You don’t want to be in someone else’s life, YOUR LIFE IS WORTHY OF YOUR ATTENTION! So build, learn and go at your own pace.
4.
Your side dish may become an entire meal.
Sometimes side work stays side work! It may be a part of your life for a season and serve only a temporary purpose and It may morph into something bigger and take you by surprise! Think about this.
Spaghetti squash was once just a little seed. That through nurturing it began to grow and became the squash, ready to pick during harvest season. That squash was first thought of as a vegetable side dish, until someone put spaghetti meat sauce on it (that secret ingredient) and it then became the main entrée and a meal that could stand on its own! Bonus, its delicious with a twist of healthy! So maybe you’re in the planting or growing phase or maybe you’re on the brink of creating something genius!
hey there!
BEFORE WE GET TO FAR INTO THIS...
I'm Melissa Bird
If you’re new to me, I think it’s time we became friends. Nice to meet you virtually! I love getting to know new people and glad we’ve connected! Since you let me quiz + assess who YOU are, I’ll hand over some deets about myself. ;)
I am a free spirited, Gemini soul (means being twins or 2 things at once) who loves to be outside in the sun! If sun worshiping was a sport I’d have a gold medal.
I LOVE to have fun and to play, but I love to make money (see the gemini factor here) So, that's why I am a life long learner and obsessed with creating what I like to call Smart Money! I am an online marketer, educator, and business savvy entrepreneur. I am continually evolving and navigating the seasons of life while also defining and re-defining the kind of life I want to live. Spoiler alert, a life unlimited and a life well lived is the goal here!
​
I’ve worn many hats in my career as an entrepreneur, and one of those hats even led me to living 2 years in Vietnam where I turned a side hustle into a passive/residual multi-million dollar marketing machine and empire. Never underestimate the power of a good side hustle!
Now I teach people how to build their own businesses, to shift gears and start making smart money, and to seek out their own definition of that life well lived. We've only got one right?!
