The Classy Career Girl Podcast

A common misconception is that if you want to start a business, you have to quit your day job. But, the truth is you don't have to quit without the income coming in consistently. I worked on Classy Career Girl for 3 years before I quit my day job. At the time I quit, my business income had reached my day job income so I was safe to make the leap into entrepreneurship full-time! I built up my business as a side hustle and worked on my passion project in the evenings and weekends. I even quit after 6 weeks of maternity leave and built my business with a baby on my lap! :) One thing I learned very quickly is that when I had my day job, I needed to be able to generate multiple revenue streams quickly because I had very little time to work in my business. So today on the Classy Career Girl Podcast, I'm outlining the steps I took to create multiple streams of revenue so I had consistent income to quit my day job. In today's episode, I am sharing why creating multiple income streams is important. You'll learn how yo
