Leveraging Side Projects Outside Your Day Job 

Want to know a little secret that will help you:

  • Learn new skills?

  • Build new, meaningful relationships?

  • Grow at your current day job?

  • Create tons of new opportunities?

  • Impact people you truly care about?

It’s not really a secret—it’s the bread and butter of pursuing your side hustle and side projects.

Today’s guests have built boomin’ empires both solo and together by creating side projects outside their day jobs.

I’m talking about Femke van Schoonoven and Charli Prangley who make waves in the digital worlds of design, marketing, and education.

When they’re not crushing their day jobs, they’re building engaged communities via their solo Twitters, YouTube Channels, and their notable podcast: Design Life.

In today’s episode, Femke, Charli, and I chat about:

  • Making a commitment to yourself and being patient.

  • Staying consistent when you don’t see immediate results.

  • Balancing, outsourcing, and saying NO!

  • Leveraging a day job that compliments your side hustle. 

  • Listening to your body, taking breaks, video games, and more.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and looking for a sign that you’re on the right path, then we got you covered like a blanket today.
