For healthcare professionals (or anyone) looking to escape burnout, gain financial freedom, or just make extra money on the side!

Get Clear on Your WHY & Your Vibe

This is the most important step. Take some time with this and have an honest conversation with yourself.
Before diving into a side hustle, ask yourself:

✔ Why do I want this? (Extra money? More freedom? Creative outlet? A full business?)
✔ What do I enjoy doing? (If you hate social media, don’t start an IG-based business.)
✔ How much time can I realistically commit? (More on this below—because this is a BIG one!)

💡 Tip: Your side hustle should be something you actually enjoy, because success takes time, and you’ll need to stay motivated even when things feel slow.

Be Realistic About Time, Energy & Commitment

Starting a side hustle sounds fun and exciting, but are you truly willing to put in the time and effort it takes to make it successful?

🔹 If you work full-time, your side hustle time = nights, weekends, and early mornings.
🔹 You’ll have to say no to social events, lazy weekends, and downtime.
🔹 Growth is slow at first, and it might feel like nothing is working.
🔹 You will put in hours of work before seeing results.

Our Real-Life Experience:

We’ve spent years building things we love—our podcast, Travelers School, our membership, and our trips. There were times when we sacrificed so much, and it felt like nothing was working. But we stayed committed because we truly loved what we were building.
This is where most people quit. They expect fast success, and when it doesn’t happen, they give up. The reality? Most successful businesses take years, not months.

🔥 Ask yourself:

✔ Am I willing to give up free time to build something bigger?
✔ Am I okay with working hard without immediate results?
✔ Do I love this enough to keep going even when I don’t see instant success?

💡 Tip: If you can’t commit at least a few hours per week, you might not be ready for a side hustle. And that’s okay!But be honest with yourself about what you’re willing to do.

💡 Tip: If you’re serious, invest in a course or mentor to shorten your learning curve and help you launch faster.

Put Yourself Out There & Be Willing to Be Vulnerable

This is huge. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and take people along for the journey—messiness and all.

Here’s Why This Matters:

✔ People love following along behind the scenes.
✔ They want to see the process unfold in real-time (not just the polished end result).
✔ They need to hear your message over and over again before it clicks.

💡 Tip: Start sharing what you’re doing before it’s perfect.

✔ Post on Instagram: Do a poll asking if people are interested in your idea.
✔ Talk about it openly: Is there excitement? Or is it crickets? Feedback is key!
✔ Don’t be afraid of silence: It doesn’t mean people aren’t watching—it means they need to see more!

Just Start – Don’t Overthink It!

The biggest mistake? Waiting for the “perfect moment.”

The way to learn if your idea is going to work is by taking action. Get started and figure it out as you go!

🚫 You don’t need: A website, business plan, or everything figured out.
✅ You do need: To take action and start testing your idea.

Action Steps to Get Started NOW:

🔹 Freelancing? Set up a Fiverr or Upwork profile.
🔹 YouTube channel? Record a quick intro video.
🔹 Coaching? Offer a free session to test it out.
🔹 Selling a product? Post a sample and see who’s interested.

💡 Tip: Share your idea on IG or with your community—do a poll to gauge interest before putting in too much effort.

🔥 Don’t wait for it to be perfect. Start before you’re ready.

Stay Consistent & Keep Going (Even When It Feels Like No One is Watching!)

Most people give up way too soon. They expect instant success, and when it doesn’t happen, they think it’s not working.

But everything takes time.

Give yourself at least a year.

✔ Go all in for 12 months and see if you’re gaining traction.
✔ Track growth—are you seeing more interest and engagement over time?
✔ If after a year, nothing is happening, then reevaluate.But don’t quit after a week just because you hear crickets.

Our Experience:

🔹 When we did our first-ever training, only ONE person showed up. We were devastated. But we still gave her our all.
🔹 Years later, we now have thousands of people in our community, and they show up for our trips, courses, and programs.
🔹 People have told us, “I’ve been following you for YEARS, and you’ve inspired me so much!”—but we never even knew they were watching.

👉 You never know who you’re impacting.
