So you're ready to move your side-hustle full-time but don't know where to start. Don't stress, you're not the only one. Having a side-hustle is amazing, however, it can be overwhelming when you're working full time only to come home and work on what you're truly passionate about. I get it, I was there at one point. Now for me, the side-hustle that I created alongside my eight-year corporate career, ended up evolving into a passive income prior to going full-time. The reason

A world turned virtual allowed me to attend a business networking event early this year. One of my favourite skincare brands held an intimate conversation about entrepreneurship - so I thought I'd join. Little did I know I'd be meeting my amazing client Kalpana here!

In my last newsletter, I spoke about how I'm giving up on the idea of multitasking. I wanted to expand on this thought and share with you more information on why I'm moving to a single-tasking mindset. First things first, our brains aren't designed to multitask.

The overall brand hadn't been touched since the 70s and similarly, the website was stuck in the 90s. With a lot of information and no function, it was time to update the site.
