Boss It Podcast
Hi All! All my name is Sophia! The aim of the podcast is to provide tangible advice for women entrepreneurs in areas of business, health and self-help. Each episode will have a few action items that the listener can apply if the episode resonated with them - hence the tag line "Make a plan, take action" . I'll give you my background in a nutshell: I am a registered physiotherapist in Canada but moved into leadership at a local hospital. Then went part-time as a manager at a publicly funded medical clinic, so I could grow my product based startup. This brand new biz landed into Walmart Canada last spring. A lot of ladies have been asking for help with their startup because they saw such fast growth of my product based company (the company name is Also Sophia) and so I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach a larger audience. Hope you enjoy!xoxo Sophia

Episode 112
Many of us mistakenly believe that starting a side hustle while juggling a nine-to-five job is impossible and that we cannot successfully manage both responsibilities at the same time. It is not necessary to burn the boats right away. Keeping your nine-to-five is vital, not just for supporting your business but also as a safety net in case your side hustle or business fails. It's better to have a side hustle than to jump all in when starting a business.
Let me share with you why you start the side hustle:
- Side hustles give you an extra income stream different from the one you get from your 9 to 5 job. Hence, even if you run into difficulties with your job, you won't completely lose your source of income.
- A side hustle will give you extra income to supplement your income as the cost of living has increased substantially!
- Start a side business in an area that piques your interest. You are given the opportunity to do something that brings you joy while also continuously relying on your main source of financial support. The extra income that you earned from a side hustle is just a bonus!
