From Full-Time to Dream Life: Building Your Online Business on the Side

Let's be honest: managing finances can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling a demanding career. I get it.  For years I worked for a major UK media company, working towards a successful career in journalism, but my work schedule was unpredictable.  Every week was different, with shifts, early mornings (3 am alarms!), and frequent weekend work.

While I loved what I did, I also craved more control over my time. I dreamed of utilising my days off to build a financial safety net and, eventually, transition to working full-time on my own online business. The idea of working from home, pursuing my passion, and achieving financial security was incredibly motivating.

But the world of personal finance can be confusing and overwhelming.  There's a lot of pressure to achieve drastic results overnight, and let's face it, most of us don't have the time or energy for elaborate schemes. That's why I'm here.

I'm not about overcomplicating things or selling you a glamorous dream.  I built my online business step by step, while juggling a demanding schedule. Now, I run my own successful online business, and I want to help you do the same.

Here's what we'll debunk:

• Myth #1: Building a Financial Cushion Takes Everything You've Got. This might sound familiar: you need a six-figure salary or a drastic lifestyle change to feel financially secure. Not true! Building a financial cushion is about creating a safety net, a buffer that helps you weather unexpected expenses and breathe easier knowing you have some wiggle room. Even a few extra hundred pounds a month can make a big difference in your peace of mind.

• Myth #2: You Need Countless Hours to Make Progress. Consistent, manageable steps are key. Small changes add up over time, just like regular exercise strengthens a muscle. We'll focus on actionable tips that seamlessly integrate into your existing routine.

• Myth #3: It's All About Deprivation.  Financial wellness doesn't require sacrificing everything you enjoy. We'll learn how to save strategically and make your money work for you, so you can still prioritise experiences and activities that bring you joy.
