My voice might sound 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.360 a bit like kind of croaky because it's early in 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:32.800 the morning. 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:33.280 I supposedly. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.720 I'm not sick. Maybe I've got a bit of hay fever. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.600 But it is quite early in the morning on the Thursday, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.600 so you guys will hear this on the Friday. But 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.840 I have a big day at the NH warehouse. So 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.480 I'm recording this and getting this done. Then I'm going 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.720 to quickly get ready and then Cooper's picking me up 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:59.000 because I'm currently carpooling. So, as you guys probably know, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.960 probably like a month ago now, oh wait, so probably 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.320 like three weeks ago, my car got stolen and they 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.200 found it the next morning. It wasn't stolen for very long, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.280 but the kids who stole it, they smashed a side 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.400 mirror and so there wasn't too much other damage. It 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.639 was very lucky in that regards, and we found it, 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.799 but they, yeah, they smashed a side mirror. And so 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.200 my my little cars getting fixed. 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.040 And so my car is from Germany, and so. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.399 They literally had it for three weeks and nothing much 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.240 has been done because they're waiting on parts from Germany. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.280 And he's like, look, it's probably not going to be 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.919 to the end of the month. And I'm with sun Corp. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.400 And they only gave me a higher car for twenty 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.680 one days and then they're like, after that, you have 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.000 to pay for it, and it was like one hundred 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.800 and fifty dollars a day, and I was like, look, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.840 I only really go to the warehouse, which I can 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.160 usually car pool with, you know, my husband Tim or 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:04.880 my brother Cooper or Mel and then anything else, like 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.000 I can probably just uber and it's going to be 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.200 less than one hundred and fifty dollars, So I am 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.560 going to be car pulling. And oh yeah, also Cooper 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.680 goes away on holidays next week, so I'll be able 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:19.600 to use his car. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:20.560 Anyway. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.160 Long story short is, I'm in this new reality where 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.120 I have to be on everyone else's time, not my 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.240 own time. So I've got to quickly get ready so 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.040 Cooper can pick me up and I can go with 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.440 him before our meeting this morning. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:39.240 So I'm gonna quickly do this episode. And this episode is. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.320 Going to be about Side Hustles. I feel like I've 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:48.840 definitely spoken about my story with Side Hustles, and you know, 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.880 you've probably heard it in various podcasts, but I've never 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.440 dedicated a whole episode. And you know, my solo podcasts 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.840 are usually short and sweet so it's not going to 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.400 be anything too crazy, but I did want to dedicate 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:08.400 a whole episode to this because honestly, anyone who has 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.760 a side hustle, I just I feel you. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:12.920 I see you. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.200 It Like now, looking back, when I had a you know, 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.240 was doing my side hustle and working a full time 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.720 nine to five job, it was definitely like the most busiest, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.200 the most rewarding, hardest times of my life. So anyone 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.719 out there who's got a side hustle while they're working 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.599 full time or you know, being a mom full time 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.360 or studying full time, yeah, I see you. And just 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.840 first of all, big congratulations, a big clap on the back, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.839 because yeah, holy shit, it was like one of the 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.640 hardest times of my life. So I'll quickly give you 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.800 a brief story. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.200 About me and my side hustle. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.040 So have some I guess a bit of a concept, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.880 but I and my heights my side hustle is like 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.680 a little bit different because it was my so social media, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.120 but that's still a side hustle because you know, I 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.159 used to charge brands, I used to create content. It 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.320 was very time consuming and also like most of the 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.240 content was free value content, not even paid content, so 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.280 I was, Yeah, it was a lot. So I don't 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.919 want to discredit that because I definitely, you know, as 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.640 much as people are like, oh, influencers, they just do nothing. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:31.040 You guys know how hard I work, And especially when 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.120 you're working full time and then you have a social 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.360 media on the side, it's like, it's honestly like another 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:37.160 full time job. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.120 So I have. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.960 So I went straight from high school, I did my 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.880 law degree. During my law degree, I always worked either 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.040 part time or full time. And then on top of that, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.520 I started to grow my social media. So my social 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.640 media was very much health and fitness. At the beginning, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.400 it was you know, my account got a lot of 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.560 traction at the start because of before and after photo 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.640 and so I just used to share like, you know, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:12.839 healthy recipes, workouts, all that sort of jazz. And then 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.520 it very much morphed into more of a lifestyle account. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.480 So when I was doing my law degree plus working 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.960 full time, I guess it really morphed into this account 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.640 where it was, you know, I was the girl who 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.679 worked full time, did her law degree, plus was healthy 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.000 whatever that means. And so again I would share my 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.960 life on YouTube on Instagram, and I had a following 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.240 off that, and then on top of that, you know, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:48.520 I would work with brands who would either you know, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.800 give me like a contrabasis, which means I would receive 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.840 products or services in exchange for my you know services, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.800 or I would get paid, you know, for promoting a brand. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.200 And I feel like I don't need to say this 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.760 because you guys know me, but you know, like I 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.800 would never promote a brand or you know, say I 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.080 was using it unless I was. Of course, I think 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.240 I wouldn't have got to this point if I had 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.960 ever lied about that. And yeah, so that was you know, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.720 my thing, and so what that involved and kind of 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.840 the real kind of side hustle for me, I guess 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.840 when I took my side hustle seriously. So that's kind 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.520 of my first point is if you have a side 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.800 hustle and you're like ready to progress it, you really 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.360 need to be treating this side hustle as a business. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.160 So for me, even though you know, social media and 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.840 having brands pay for things, it was like this new 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.000 concept and it was kind of a weird thing to 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.840 get your head around, but I very much treated it 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.360 like a business, like I was so professional with the 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:04.400 brands I were with, I, you know, would have a 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.640 calendar and I would have a media kit and I 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:14.200 did everything myself as well. So I guess like that 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.520 was kind of And yeah, I was working full time 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.640 at a law firm doing family law at this point, 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.760 also studying whether that was my law degree or my 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.880 pot which is the study you have to do after 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.880 you finish your law degree to become a lawyer. And 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.240 so what my day would look like is I used 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.439 to like the firm I was at started work at 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.600 seven thirty, which is just honestly, now I'm thinking about, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.760 I'm like, why does a law firm start at seven thirty? 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:45.120 It's beyond ridiculous. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.400 And it's not like we even finished early, Like it 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:52.000 was still to fucking five pm. Don't mean to share, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.720 don't mean to square swear, wow, but yeah, just a 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:01.280 bit outrageous. And so I would get at four thirty, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.199 I would do a gym class or have a pt, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:11.000 come back, make breakfast, have all my lunch ready, leave 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.520 for the bus at like six thirty because I used 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.040 to catch the bus in there, catch the bus into work, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.040 start work at seven point thirty. Work, you know, work 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.240 all day. I used to use my lunch break to 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.920 either edit YouTube videos or you know, email people back, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.720 and then I would get home quite late because you know, 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.040 traffic and stuff. I probably would finish work more five 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.960 point thirty, get home at six thirty, Me and team 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.600 would make dinner, and then I would sit on my computer, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.480 edit youtubees and ser emails, and then usually spend my 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:50.800 whole weekend, you know, filming videos, editing videos, doing my 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.480 Instagram posts, getting them ready. And it was like, like 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.840 I said, it was fucking hard. Like in saying that 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:02.960 I was obsessed. Now looking back, the only reason what 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.280 got me through, I reckon there was a good three 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:11.480 solid years of me grinding was I was obsessed, I 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.480 want to say, with both careers. But the mental state 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.160 I was in was very much like I was going 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.599 to be a lawyer, but I also was so passionate 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.000 about this side thing and my health and fitness. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.640 So I was so obsessed with both, if that makes sense. 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.520 So I had this a huge goal, like I was 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.960 going to finish my degree. I was going to get 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.040 that certificate that says I was a lawyer, but I 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.920 also was going to do this side business. And yeah, 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.120 I was just like grinding, and I think that's the 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.560 big thing with the side business. For example, maybe you 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.880 haven't got one and you want to start one. Is 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.120 I just don't think it's going to work if you 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.480 start one just for money. So if you're working your 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.200 nine to five and you hate it and you're like, oh, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.040 I need to make extra money or something like that, 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.160 like doing something just for money, I just I don't know. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.040 I just look it can. But for me it's like 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.240 it was a grind. It was hard, and if I 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.800 wasn't obsessed and so passionate about it, I just don't 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.280 think it would have worked. So that's just like a huge, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.080 huge thing. You need to be obsessed. You need to 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.600 be passionate because there is going to be like for me, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.600 it was you know, three years. I don't know for 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.760 you guys, but there's going to be a time where 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.199 you just have to put in the work, you have 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:34.120 to grind, you don't have a social life. Yeah, it's hard, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.760 like you know. I also at this point, I think 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.880 I was planning a wedding like lots was happening, and 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.000 on the weekend, like poor Tim, I basically wouldn't have 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.640 much time for him. I'd give him a couple of 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.280 hours and then just be working on, you know, my 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:53.400 side hustle. And God bless his soul, he stuck around 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.360 and was so fine about it. But it's just like 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.120 you're going to have to sacrifice things. So I think 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.680 if you don't have the passion, it's just yeah, you 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:03.800 really need it there. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:05.600 So then the next thing. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.040 With a side hustle is you really have to not 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.760 care what people think. So, you know, I was at 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.920 this law firm, I was being professional. I was like, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.920 you know, trying to really work hard and show that 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.960 I could be a lawyer. And I worked in a 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.640 really good law firm too, where it was very respected, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.680 and you know, I had partners above me, lawyers above me, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.680 and they all knew what I was doing on the side. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.240 And I think sometimes not that I was embarrassed about it, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.600 but I could kind of tell that they thought it 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.880 was like silly or just like what is she even doing? 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.880 Or like why does she bother? Like it's ridiculous, or 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.600 you know, she just needs to focus on one. And 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.120 even sometimes my family and Tim wouldn't understand. And I 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.040 think it's just like you need to have that self 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.560 belief yourself and you need to be able to put 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.880 yourself out there. So you need to be able to 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.760 be like, this is what I want to do, this 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.160 is what I'm doing, and kind of have your own back, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.760 because especially with a side hustle, like especially when it's 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.400 not succeeding, Like don't get me wrong, like now, people like, yeah, 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.800 of course you should have lest your corporate job and 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.760 you know, started Naked Harvest and started a podcast because 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.240 it's like, I'm quote unquote successful. But you know, back then, 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.520 when I was working full time in a law job 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.360 doing this side hustle thing, and when I was like, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.480 I knew I wanted to leave and do the side 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.000 hustle thing, like it didn't look like, it didn't look great, 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.760 and people like, what the fuck is she doing? But 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.080 you need to have your own self belief and you 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.800 need to have your own back. The next thing I 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.520 want to chat about is, you know, I'm kind of 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.280 going to go the complete other direction and say, even 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.520 though I've said you've got to be super passionate about it, 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:04.160 is it also does need to be monetized at some point. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520 So for example, with my Instagram, you know, I've had 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.120 it for over seven eight nine years now and I 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:15.920 only started monetizing it probably three years in three or 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.840 four years in so like it was like three or 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.200 four years of literally just creating free content. And I 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.440 know it's Instagram, so you might think it's different, but 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.040 there's a lot of time and effort that went in there, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.960 and even to this day, like for example, this podcast, 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.880 like to be very transparent with you guys, I have 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.600 a podcast manager who works full time that helps me 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.160 out with the podcast because you know, like I don't 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:48.680 have the time. I full time work in Naked Harvests 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.760 and Geers Collective, and I obviously work with other brands, 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.520 and so I need someone working full time to run 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.920 this podcast. And I do you know, you guys would 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.200 hear the ads and whatnot that would sink in every 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.200 now and again, but to be honest, like those ads 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:10.120 would just cover my podcast managers, you know, salary or wage. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.320 So it's like I'm kind of breaking even. But for me, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:18.000 the podcast is such like a passion an outlet that 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.200 that's okay for me, and you know, I make my 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.800 money in other ways. But in saying that, if you are, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.680 you know, doing this podcast, you do have to monetize 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.640 and it does have to be able to make money 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.960 in some way so you're not just like completely burnt 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.520 out for no reason. But yeah, you have to be 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.080 able to put in free value content. And that's like 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.200 basically what this podcast is is something I do you 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.440 know on top of everything else that is pretty much well, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.720 it is completely free value for you guys. That takes 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.360 a lot of time and effort and resources of my own, 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.600 but for me it's so there's always going to be 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:07.960 kind of that pull and take R and C. 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:08.360 Fam. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.320 Are you currently trying to grow your hair, get glowing 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.480 skin and nails, or help your gut health, Well, look 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.600 no further because Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:24.280 change it all. Did you know that age twenty five, 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.440 our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.760 that amount decreases every single year. So this is important 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.000 to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.280 is made up of seventy five percent collagen, and guys, 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.600 collagen is just a protein. So it does make sense 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.160 why we start seeing signs of aging around this time. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.320 And this is why we called our collagen the beauty 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.840 Alixa because it really is a beauty supplement that is 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.080 going to help you glow from the inside out. So 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:02.160 even though this supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.480 seen my before and after hair photos and my nail 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.520 snaps on my stories. But more than that, collagen is 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.240 such an important building block to so many parts of 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.760 our body. So not only is your skin going to glow, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.199 your hair and nails grow, but it's also going to 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.760 help with your gut health and we all know how 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.800 important that is. So there's two options with the Naked 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.720 Harvest Collagen Alixa. There is a pure option, which I 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.280 love to add to smoothies and my coffees, or a 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.520 pine coconut option which is so fresh and so delicious. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.680 I love having that at morning tea or in the afternoon. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.439 So iron c Fam glow from the inside out with 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.199 Naked Harvest's Beauty Collagen Elixa today and feel free to 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.159 use the Iron c FAM's code which is Ris and 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.159 Concher Podcasts all spelled out and you can get a 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:03.200 Sneaky Saved being at checkout. Okay, now let's get back 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:09.280 into today's episode. So I'm just gonna get straight onto 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.280 the tips because i feel like I'm in chatting forever 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.880 and I just want this to really be like a yeah, 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.280 like resourcefulp for you guys. So, like I said, too, 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.760 is like treat your side hustle lack a business like 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.680 I think sometimes. 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.800 We can get in this mode of it's just a 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:24.520 side hustle. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.520 And I kind of remember when it was getting to 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.119 the point where I was like, I think I have 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.919 to pick between this law job and the side hustle. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.960 And I kind of said to myself, I'm going to 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.639 give myself the year and if I can match my 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.040 wage that I was earning, as you know, a law clerk, 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:49.520 a lawyer with this side hustle, I would feel comfortable 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.960 and safe enough, I guess to leave. And so that 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:58.320 year I really kind of took my side hustle a 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:03.080 lot more seriously. And it's funny because, like I said, 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.240 like influencing, it's not like it's this new thing. And 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.040 for example, we do influencer marketing with Naked Harvest, and 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:16.000 I will talk to my influencer marketing manager, Jacinta, and 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.719 she just will tell me some of the stories of 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:23.080 influencers who you can just tell they don't take it 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.679 seriously and they don't treat it like a business. And 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.320 it's like you know we do we do contract and 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.399 paid posts for naked harvest. So like this person is 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.879 getting paid, they are giving us their services, they are 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.560 getting paid like this is a contract, this is a 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:40.400 legit thing. 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:41.720 And they almost like. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:46.240 You know, they won't reply for ages, or they won't 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.040 know how to make an invoice or you know, just 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.720 like so many things where you're like, this is a business. 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.760 You need to start treating it like a business, if 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.960 that makes sense. And I totally get that, and I 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.640 said to Justcinta, there was definitely a point when I 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.560 was influencing where you kind of it's like you don't 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.760 grasp that concept. And when I kind of put that 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.960 goal in where it's like I would only leave my 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.080 law job until I matched my wage, my mindset changed 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.760 and I took things a lot more seriously. So I 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.800 treated my side hustle like a business. It was very professional, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.440 you know. I yeah, Like I just treated it very professional. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.800 And I think that's something like if you have a 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.600 side hustle, but you're treating it like a side hustle, 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.240 but you want it to turn into a full time, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:37.560 you know, legit thing. It's like where can you change 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.080 things or make things more professional, make things more legit, 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.480 or just take yourself a bit more seriously, because it's 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:49.720 honestly like when you embody something, that's when you can 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.639 show up as that person. And I would kind of 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.040 get into what I used to do with visualization. Actually, 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.679 let's just get into it now. So also a huge, 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.480 huge change. And I know people are gonna be like, oh, 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.160 this is so woo whatever, but my side hustle, honestly, 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.159 honest to god, it would not have turned into a 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:15.440 legit thing. And me felt like that without my visualization 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.199 and affirmation practices. So because I used to catch the 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.000 bus that used to take me like half an hour 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.399 to get into the city every day, I used to 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.280 use that time to either listen to a podcast or 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.639 I would sit there with music and I would visualize. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.920 So I would literally close my eyes like people probably 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.080 would have thought I was like fucking asleep on the muss, 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:41.359 but I would sit there and visualize what would my 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:45.080 day look like if I worked full time in my 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:49.159 side hustle, So like I would visualize waking up, what 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.159 time would I wake up? And to be honest, this 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.480 is when I was visualizing a lot about the beach, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.720 which is so crazy because what I used to visualize 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.640 is literally my life now. So I used to wake 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.960 up and you know, I used to wake up at six, 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.280 which was like two hours sleeping for me, and I 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.120 used to you know, get up gradually. I'd make myself 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.320 a coffee, I'd play with the dogs, and then i'd 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.720 go for a beach walk and i'd listen to a 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.159 podcast and I would you know, take this time and 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.719 have this really long morning routine. And then i'd you know, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.000 call my employees, chat to them, tell them what they 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.720 need to do today. And then i'd get into, you know, 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.000 my projects for the day and make my list and 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.560 feel accomplished and then be able to have a lunch 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.159 break where I sat in the sun and all this 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.320 different stuff which is literally my life now. But I 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.000 used to sit there and visualize and very kind of 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.119 you know, detailed and not detailed, like it was almost 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.720 like I was watching a movie and I just yeah, 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:55.359 I used to think, like and then from that visualization, 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.920 I'd be like, you know, how would this person show up, 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.199 what would she wear? How to treat others? Like I 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.919 would really get into it, and it's like that like 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.920 I wasn't that person yet. But because I would consistently, 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.520
