Do what the f*ck you want when you want with Lauren Dixon
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The freedom to choose is one of the biggest reasons people want to work for themselves. Being free to choose to spend time with your kids, your friends, or go on that holiday whenever you like. It all comes from flexibility. That’s the power of being your own boss. But how do you go from side hustle to fully-fledged bad ass entrepreneur?
In this episode I‘m joined by Lauren Dixon, my social media manager and client. Her side hustle journey began on maternity leave, and she is now hitting £5K months - over triple what she was earning previously - working just 2 days a week.
She talks about why she wanted to start her own business, the mistakes she made and her battles with self-confidence. She also gives 3 incredible tips for aspiring female entrepreneurs who want to do what the f*ck they want when they want.
