Are there any ladies here who have made a side hustle work with their 9-5 (ok really 9-8) and plan to keep both? I would love to connect with other women who have managed to pursue both a career and entrepreneurship. I would love to hear about how you balance both and how you knew you wanted to do both instead of one or the other.I currently work in Strategic Marketing and launched my side hustle as a Travel Advisor helping professionals and entrepreneurs take amazing luxury vacations that help them relax and rejuvenate. Excited to connect with you all!

Hello! I also work in marketing and have a side hustle. My side hustle is an e-commerce business. For a bit of context: my e-commerce business/side hustle is my dream. I was working on it full-time for about a year and a half before I reentered the traditional workforce with my current job. It's been hard to manage both, but it helps that my side business is such a hobby/source of joy for me and I also like my day job (and it is what keeps me financially stable/feeling comfortable!). I'm still working on finding that balance.I would love to speak with you further if you are interested in connecting! I don't know many people who are in a similar situation, so would be great to have someone to brainstorm/chat with in a similar boat!

Yes! I would love to connect. It's great to find someone else in a similar boat.

@KristieLee @leighkloss I would love to connect with you both. I am in that situation too! Though I actually took 3 months unpaid leave from my full time job. I recently started charging money for my side hustle and it's been so exciting.

That would be great! I'll message you both and see if we can get something on the calendar =)
