Let’s be real—balancing a full-time job while trying to build a successful side hustle sounds exhausting, right? When I first started my journey in health and wellness, I had all the doubts: Would I have the time? Could I really make money? What if I failed? But I knew one thing for sure—I wanted more. More freedom, more income, and more control over my future.
Fast forward to today, 5 years later, and I’ve built a thriving online business that brings in weekly pay while I still work my corporate leadership job. If you’ve been wondering whether you can turn your passion into a profitable side hustle, let me tell you—you absolutely can! Here’s exactly how I did it (and how you can too!).
I Got Crystal Clear on My Why
Before I jumped into the world of online business, I had to ask myself: Why do I want this? For me, it wasn’t just about extra money—it was about creating a life of freedom. I wanted to build something that could eventually replace mine OR my husbands corporate salary, allowing us to live life on our own terms.
Your turn: What’s driving you? Is it financial freedom? More time with your family? The ability to travel whenever you want? Having a strong “why” will keep you pushing forward even on the tough days.
I Leveraged My Daily Routine
One of the biggest excuses I hear is, “I don’t have time!” But here’s the truth: You don’t need more time, you just need to be intentional with the time you already have.
I structured my side hustle into my daily routine. Each morning, before heading into the office, I took my supplements and shared it on social media. Throughout the day, I engaged in group chats with my team, answered questions, and followed up with potential customers—all from my phone! I set aside specific blocks of time for team Zoom trainings and 1:1 coaching calls.
Your turn: Look at your daily schedule. Where can you fit in 30-60 minutes to work on your side hustle? Maybe it’s during your lunch break, after dinner, or while waiting in the school pickup line.
I Used Social Media as My Marketing Powerhouse
I didn’t have time to do in-person meetings or events, so I used social media to reach people easily. I started sharing my journey authentically—my morning Thrive routine, the energy boost I felt, and how I was building my business in the pockets of my day.
I didn’t need a fancy website or a massive following—just consistency and authenticity. People resonated with my journey and wanted to know how they could do it too!
Your turn: Start showing up on social media! Share your story, your progress, and the benefits of your product or service. You don’t need to be perfect—people connect with real, relatable content.
I Plugged Into a Supportive Community
One of the biggest game-changers was surrounding myself with people who had the same goals and mindset. Being part of a team and having mentorship gave me the motivation and strategies I needed to grow my business. Something I learned years ago, is that you can’t learn from everyone. I believe that with everything in me, so when deciding to join a company, you are also deciding who to join that company with. Choose wisely. Those leaders, and the community they bring you into are a direct reflection of how your potential can view you and your business. Make sure you are setting them up with a positive community to build with.
Your turn: Find a mentor or join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs. Having accountability and support makes all the difference!
I Focused on Serving, Not Selling
Building a business doesn’t happen overnight. There were times I felt like nothing was happening, and even 5 years later, that can sometimes feel like thats the case. But I reminded myself that success is built on small, daily actions. I kept showing up, kept learning, and kept believing in myself.
Your turn: Stay committed! Even when it feels slow, every post, every conversation, and every effort is planting seeds that will grow over time.
