217. Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner - Maintaining a Happy Heart While Building a Side Hustle

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jim Rohn, "If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary."  YouTube: https://youtu.be/BEfx--EPhbQ Check Out These Highlights:  Recently I was asked if I was afraid or second-guessed myself when I opened my business 20 years ago.  I had never thought about fear as part of my decision-making process.  I think I felt that I would work hard, as I had always done, and would figure it out as I moved forward, so failure wasn't an option.  Now looking back, I'm not sure it was a naïve perspective, or it was pure determination and confidence in myself. Don't misunderstand, I took that leap of faith very seriously and had a business plan in place, money in the bank, and a clear vision of what I wanted to build.  I had 2 babies at home, a mortgage, and my income was needed for us to survive.  Things didn't happen by accident.  Throughout my life, anytime I chose to create something new, I developed a plan that is fluid and can change and be modified as needed, as I define this new creation. Is starting a business for everyone?  In the next half hour, my guests and I are going to discuss side hustles and how to create a legacy.
