DGM #023: Are You A Side Hustla Or A CEO?

Hey Doc, it’s Dr. Kim here, and in this solo episode, I’m asking you an important question: Are you showing up like a side hustla, or are you stepping into your power as a CEO? I’ve been there, grinding away with multiple low-revenue ventures, wondering why nothing was truly clicking. But I made the shift—and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. This episode is packed with real talk on how to shed the "side hustle" mentality—where you're constantly chasing the next hustle without real financial traction—and step fully into your role as a CEO. I break down the differences between these two mindsets, emphasizing the importance of having a F.I.R.E offer, making focused decisions, and letting both positive and negative emotions propel you forward. I also share my experiences with launching businesses "ugly," without waiting for everything to be perfect, and why believing in your offer is far more important than fancy branding or certifications.You’ll also learn why procrastination is a huge trap for side hustlas and how CEOs prioritize and plan with clarity. Plus, I talk about the power of money-making emotions, why launching an imperfect product is better than waiting, and how to find your "secret sauce" for business success.By the end of the episode, you’ll feel inspired to evaluate where you’re operating from—side hustla or CEO—and make the conscious choice to step into the CEO role to build a business that brings real cash flow.Episode mentionsCatch up on The Five Emotions You Need To Feel To Make Money on:Apple PodcastSpotifySend us Fan MailCheck out my website here: Kimberlybrownmd.comFollow me on Instagram: @drkimberlyb
