  • 446: Mindset Hacks For Every Business Owner
    Jan 23 2025

    This week we’re diving into how to shift your mindset to set yourself up for success. Here’s the thing—I’ve learned over the years that your mindset isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the foundation for everything you’re trying to build. Whether it’s pushing past fear to finally launch your business, staying consistent when sales are slow, or silencing that little voice in your head saying, ‘Who are you to do this?’—it all comes back to how you think and how you show up for yourself.


    In this episode I share:

    • The mindset hacks I use, like reframing limiting beliefs, to conquer my goals
    • How to break down your goals into actionable steps to avoid overwhelm
    • My experience with imposter syndrome and how I continuously overcome it


    Highlights include:

    00:00 Intro

    01:00 Battling imposter syndrome

    04:14 Breaking free from overthinking

    08:05 Confidence is key

    14:05 Master Instagram Challenge

    17:50 Building mental resilience

    21:28 Actionable steps to a mindset change

  • 445: Done Is Better Than Perfect
    Jan 16 2025

    This week we’re diving into one of my favorite mantras: Done is better than perfect.

    I was inspired by my decision to relaunch my Master the Gram Challenge. It’s been years since I last did it, and I had to remind myself to push forward without overthinking. I’m breaking down how I got it off the ground and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.


    In this episode I share:

    • How to break out of the cycle of overthinking or perfectionism and take action
    • Why clarity is key and how to make sure your audience knows what your product is, who it's for, and how it helps
    • The step by step process of setting up operations for your products, including exactly what resources I used to set up the Master The Gram landing page


    Highlights include:

    00:00 Intro

    03:00 Setting up operations

    06:00 Setting up marketing

    09:30 Taking action is better than perfect

    12:00 Tweaking after feedback

    16:00 Having an accountability partner

    20:00 Mastering self-talk

    25:00 Walking through a sales page

    33:00 Setting goals for the year

  • 444: Five Steps to Finally Launch Your Side Hustle
    Jan 8 2025

    We’re kicking off this new year by welcoming new and returning listeners to Side Hustle Pro with a reminder that it’s never too late—or too early—to pursue a side hustle. Inspired by an email from a listener, I was reminded that my focus on Black women entrepreneurs still resonates with a wide audience, proving that clarity in your target listener doesn’t exclude anyone else who might benefit.


    In this episode I share the five areas of focus for starting or growing your business in 2025:

    • Get clear on your main priority
    • Choose a channel to showcase your expertise
    • Organize your content (you likely have more than you realize!)
    • Trust yourself to figure things out, even when you get stuck
    • Invest in education and resources that level up you and your business


    Highlights include:

    00:00 Intro

    03:00 Uplifting women entrepreneurs

    05:00 Setting goals for the year

    10:30 Five areas of focus for 2025

    18:00 The power of sharing your journey

    23:00 Overcoming content overwhelm

    29:00 Trusting yourself and investing in growth

    35:00 Master The Gram Challenge

Love it!

I have been listening to Side Hustle Pro for two years now, and love it. She will ask the questions that we all want to know, and if there’s not a guest, she’s dropping nuggets to get you started or keep you going! :)
