I used to think entrepreneurs got to where they are by taking one of two paths:
 
1) they got laid off and were forced to improvise or 

2) they knew they wanted to start a business and did it.
 
 
Neither was the case for me. Here’s what happened instead.
 
As someone who LOVES to plan and do check-ins, I decided to set some goals for my life and business in Q2 of 2019. This helped me take a step back and realize I wasn’t on the path I wanted to be on
 
When I quit my full-time job, I had a business that was my side hustle for 10 years. My intuition told me it was time to leave long before I did, but…
 
I told myself I had to meet an oddly specific income goal to quit. When I fell short – because I had a literal full-time job on top of my side hustle – I also realized I didn’t know any entrepreneurs (and it’s hard to BE it if you can’t SEE it).
 
Maybe you’ve been there?
 
If so, then you know something had to shift. That’s when I put in my notice. 
 
I did it without 6 months of expenses in my savings 💸
I did it without feeling 100% capable ✨
I did it without knowing what would happen after ⚡
 
The reason it felt SO right? I followed my joy 🌈

No matter where you are on your entrepreneurship journey — side hustling with a FT day job, juggling PT work with PT entrepreneurship, or working for yourself FT — your path and your timeline are valid. ⁣
 
If you don’t know where you want to be, try writing down your goals! Take a DEEP breath and consider what you want to be doing and WHY. 
 
This clarity will open new doors for you! It will help you attract clients that feel aligned with your values! It will set you up for success long-term! 🤩
 
Speaking of clients aligning with your values, I want to share a few projects 👩🏻‍💻 I’ve worked on since I took Kristy Black Creative full-time that bring me SO much joy!
 
 

thank you for being my fellow co-creator
