Build without burnout by discovering four amazing ways to design a B2B business that puts people first, including you.
Making the Leap: Taking Your Side Hustle Full-Time
We interviewed our Swagger School client, Olanike, to explore the steps she took to take her side hustle full-time. She went from Chief of Staff in a tech role at a Fortune 50 global financial services firm to workplace equity strategist when demand for her consulting services skyrocketed amid a global pandemic.
Lessons Learned in Corporate Consulting
Watch the video above to discover the four lessons she learned by quitting her job to build a new consulting venture that took her from working around the clock to centering her well-being:
- Take stock of your strengths – amplify your assets at your 9-5 by showcasing marketable skills and negotiating relevant opportunities that will position you for consulting success
- Plan before you leap – recognize that strategic planning isn’t just for corporations and put proper foundations in place to become a more effective business leader
- Fill in the missing puzzle pieces – prep your path for profits when setting consulting rates so that you can replace your former paycheck, pay yourself, and expand your growing team
- Honor your values – stay true to your authentic leadership style so you don’t compromise your integrity with shady business practices or high-pressured sleazy sales tactics
