What It's About
A listener needs help figuring out her next steps... without becoming overbaked.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1252
What are the criteria to consider when trying to decide your next steps? Should I quit my job, start a new side hustle, scale back? Today’s listener is a baker who also has a lot of other responsibilities and is concerned about burnout … and not from the oven! Should she go all-in, move on, or do something different?"Hi, this is Iver from Houston, Texas, and I've been listening to the show for about a year and a half now. My side hustle is baking. I'm a homemaker and I specialize in custom cakes, cupcakes and good old fashioned cookies. My question is, how do you know when it's time to go all in and move on? It's been a struggle for me for the last five years of trying to grow my baking business while working. Being a mom and being a wife is a struggle and indicator. I have so many ideas I want to pursue, but I don't want a burnout. I can't wait to hear from you, Chris. Thanks so much."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
