info_outlineWho said you had to limit yourself to your core services as a freelancer?
And who said you couldn't launch a separate side business that allows you to practice a hobby or passion?
That's one of the beauties of self-employment. You can chart your own course and make your own rules.
In today's episode, I interview my VP of operations, Crystal Coleman. Crystal has been instrumental in helping me grow my coaching and training business over the past 4-1/2 years.
One of the many things I admire about her is how she's recently taken a passion of hers and turned it into a rapidly growing side business.
Not only that, she's involved both her kids in virtually every aspect of this venture. And that alone has made the whole concept hugely successful.
In this interview, she explains what she's doing ... what she's learned ... and what you need to know to make a sideline work for you.
