EP352: Creating Multiple Income Streams: Beyond Client Writing with Athena Brownson
In this episode, Athena breaks down how to create scalable side income streams, overcome the traps of hustle culture, and protect your energy.
Success is different for everybody. Your side hustle can be different so don't compare yourself to other people just because they're making millions of dollars. It didn't happen overnight. Guarantee it. And everything takes time. Celebrate those wins, and I think that's the gist of everything.
In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff Gargas, who shares insights on positioning yourself for a strong side hustle. Starting a side hustle requires dedication and obsession, but the rewards are worth it. Many struggle to know when to transition from side hustle to full-time gig, and it’s a unique journey for each individual.
Prior to co-founding Teach Better, Jeff was the owner of ENI Multimedia, an online marketing firm, where he worked with entrepreneurs and small businesses, assisting them with web design, social media, content marketing, and brand awareness.
Prior to all of this, Jeff was an adjunctive professor at Kent State University and spent 10+ years in the music industry. He has spoken at conferences around the country, and has successfully promoted more than 500 events and launched 7 businesses in a variety of industries.
Success varies for each person, and it’s essential not to compare your journey to others. Celebrate your wins and remember that everything takes time. Your side hustle can be a unique path to fulfillment and happiness.
