Gosh i need your secret: how do you balance all of these projects on top of your day job 😲 i got off work at 6 pm and my brain refuses to function... i've been trying to get back to ceramics and it has been challenging; let alone managing multiple side hustles! Congratulations on this new milestone! You deserve it 🎉
I'm with you on my brain being used up by the end of the work day! I do an hour or two of work on my own business before I start my 'day job' and get drained by meetings. (and also often spend one weekend day working on it too)
Co-working Club members unite! 😆 Seriously, though, thank you for continuing this series and being so transparent. It's enlightening to see, and I personally get a lot out of hearing you talk through the decisions that lead to your earnings; it's nice to hear about the things you previously did or want to do more of in the future. (it's also nice to see how our support in various ways is reflected in those percentages, lol)
I SO appreciate your support Eric!! and I'm glad you enjoy hearing about the decisions, that's definitely the part I hope folks pay attention to (but of course can't blame anyone who just wants to hear the numbers, I'm interested in that too!)
I offer mentoring calls through my website charlimarie.com/mentoring (but this is not an innovation accelerator program so if that's what you're looking for, I'm sorry but that's not something I offer!)
Inspiring stuff. I've been reading your newsletter for a while now, its so satisfying to see the gradual build up of income, especially as I've seen you put the foundations in for previous years, and built and built on it to where you are now.
Absolutely a fascinating breakdown of all the things you're doing. I'm proud to see your growth and happy for you. I do wonder though, and maybe I missed it in your video, do you think all of the extra work you put in is worth it? No judgement, just curiosity. I hear you saying you have fewer passive streams and more active streams (content, production, etc). Which sounds like a lot of hard work goes into it. Great that you share this. Thank you!
Congrats on your hard work paying off! For next year, have you considered creating a course? I know Femke recently did but you could even create a course that has even less involvement (go at your own pace video course). That could be interesting if you position it as a professional development opportunity because then people could get their work to pay for it! (I recently had my company pay $800 for the OOUX self-paced course!)
I spend a LOT of time working. Way more than I’d like to ideally. I probably work about 10 hours on week days and 5 hours on weekends in total on all my income streams
Ah yeah I was expecting something like that. It seems that you have lot of work there. Do you think this is sustainable to work this much in a long run ? I been frelancing for 12 years and used to pull this kind of time in but now I know this is not very healthy :D
Congrats, honestly I'm so happy about your income increase, you're very inspiring and I believe you're a top notch creative person 🙂 I'm more than 8 years of experience and already achieved many of my goals this year and I still feel so tiny and energized when I see your videos lol 😂
Thank you for sharing. This is truly insightful and incredibly helpful. It allows us to gain a broader perspective on where it's worthwhile to focus our efforts and what may not be as valuable. Thanks! 😊
Super proud of ya! This is awesome! These reports always make me want to do my own. And I may start doing one this year because my side biz finally feels worth it to talk about, even though I’m not making that much.
omg it's worth it NOW Lauryn I promise!! sharing the reality of a business just getting off the ground would be sooooo useful for people to read about. (only if you're comfortable sharing tho of course! it's okay if you want to wait longer ❤️)
I'm such a big fan of you Charli because of your style & transparency in your work. Also learned a ton from you about not being overly polished. Congrats, thank you and I will be following your journey :)
Wow, congrats Charli! These numbers are amazing and something I'd dream to hit, but I see how you work constantly, are so talented, disciplined and have several side hustles, so you definitely earn it!! Keep going. Thanks for the inspiration 💙
