Building a Business with a Full-Time Gig with Felicia Wright (BMM EP023)
Today, I've got a cup of wisdom to share, inspired by my chat with the amazing Felicia Wright, the social media fixer extraordinaire. If you've ever found yourself daydreaming about bidding adieu to your 9-to-5 job, you're in for a treat!
Felicia recently took the big leap and left her full-time job as a teacher to fully focus on her social media business. And guess what? She’s spilling all the secrets on how she made it happen without losing her mind. So grab your favorite drink—I'll pretend it's a margarita—and let's dive in!
1. The Power of Intentional Time Management
Felicia swears by getting super intentional with her time. And no, this isn't just a cliché! She literally wrote down everything she did throughout her day to see where she could carve out time for her business. Imagine turning those Netflix binges into productive social media marathons! It’s about small steps that turn into giant leaps. One hour after work and a couple of hours at night can make a world of difference.
2. The Weekend Warrior Strategy
Weekends aren’t just for lounging—Felicia used them for building the foundations of her business. She took weekends to brainstorm, take courses, and start implementing what she learned. So next weekend, set aside a few hours to sketch out your business ideas or tackle that course you've been eyeing. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
3. Invest in Yourself with Courses
Feeling stuck? Courses can be your lifeline. Felicia mentioned how pivotal online courses were in her journey. They saved her time and gave her direction. Identify an area you want to master, find a reputable course, and dive in. It's an investment in yourself that pays off manifold.
