Summary
This episode kicks off The Side Hustle Summer Series! This August, I’m doing a series all about side hustling and breaking down:
- How to not let fear cripple you when you’re starting your side hustle
- How to build the foundation of your business even when it’s still a side hustle
- Everything I learned about balancing my side hustle with my 9 to 5How to market your side hustle for FREE when you’re just getting started
- How to finance your side hustle before it’s making Money (AND how to start monetizing)
In this kickoff episode, I get open and vulnerable about my journey from side hustle to a profitable business and talk about the disparaging thoughts I used to tell myself. I was so afraid of people thinking I was a failure because I didn’t secure a job offer after earning my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Michigan. I eventually learned that fear was holding me back, instead of helping me grow. I hope that sharing my thoughts and how I reframed them helps you change your thinking and kickstart your side hustle.

| 0:10.0 | If you don't know what to do, if you don't know where your journey will lead you, if you don't know what next move to make, start side hustling right now. |

| 0:25.3 | You're listening to Side Hustle Pro, |
| 0:27.6 | the podcast that teaches you to build and grow your Side Hustle |
| 0:31.2 | from Passion Project to profitable business and I'm your |
| 0:34.5 | host Nikla Matthew Zakome. So let's get started. |
| 0:40.0 | Hey guys welcome welcome back to the show. It's Nakela here and welcome to August. Today, this episode, I am kicking off the Side Hustle Series, all of August, we are going to be getting into real and actionable |

| 1:51.4 | for example the mistakes I was making with previous side hustles |
| 1:55.2 | that prevented them from ever being profitable. I've learned how I was mentally |
| 2:00.4 | sabotaging myself with certain thought patterns and behavior patterns. |
| 2:05.2 | And I've learned how to make myself productive, even without being perfect at time management. |
