Event description
Making the leap from side hustle to full-time business is exciting - but it’s not all flexible hours and instant freedom. This practical 60-minute workshop is designed to unpack the real challenges people face when leaving secure jobs to build something of their own.
We’ll focus on the five most common roadblocks:
- Fear of losing a stable income – Understanding financial readiness and how to build a buffer
- Imposter syndrome and self-doubt – Tools to shift your mindset and build confidence
- Lack of structure – How to create routines, systems, and boundaries when no one's watching the clock
- Marketing yourself consistently – Turning word-of-mouth and referrals into sustainable marketing
- Burnout from doing everything alone – Knowing when and how to ask for help, outsource or grow
Through honest discussion, relatable case studies, and a simple action plan, participants will leave with a clearer picture of whether they’re ready - and what to do next if they’re not quite there yet.
Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives who want to be real about what it takes to go all in - without burning out or going broke.
