This week we are sharing a throwback episode from when we were the Redefine Your Career Journey Podcast. Why are we sharing this?

Because many of you are still treating your business as a side hustle. Let's move you beyond that by examining the pros and cons of having your own business!

Unlock the secrets of the gig economy and transform your side hustle into a thriving business venture. Ever wondered if your part-time passion could become your full-time career? We promise to shed light on the growing phenomenon where nearly 39% of U.S. adults are engaging in side gigs, not just for extra cash, but for the autonomy and flexibility they offer.

This episode of Scale Up Strategies dives into the nuances of the gig economy, revealing both its alluring freedom and the challenges of job insecurity and lack of benefits. Whether you're seeking flexibility in your current role or contemplating a career shift, gain invaluable insights into making your side hustle a legitimate income source.

Laura Bashore as shares her inspiring journey from side gigs on platforms like Thumbtack to establishing a flourishing coaching business. She also reveals her family's success story, where a simple eBay transmission parts venture burgeoned into Classic Transmission Solutions, a six-figure e-commerce enterprise.

Mary shares how she balanced a full-time career while building her LinkedIn coaching and training empire.

Discover how strategies like building a personal brand and strategic networking can turn a side gig into your main source of income. Get ready to explore the transformative power of the gig economy and find the motivation to pursue your entrepreneurial dreams while balancing your full-time job.

Now as you all know, both Mary and Laura have shifted their businesses again since this original airing. But that's the point - Seize The Day my friends!
