13: From Employee to Business Owner: How to Start Freelancing While Working a Full-time Job (Part I)

Are you trying to start a freelancing business while still juggling a full-time job? This is something that a lot of my free mamas are trying to navigate, and I did too! 

I am here with a two part episode to unpack the logistics and the mindset changes you need to focus on in order to transition from being an employee to a business owner. It is a change that brings unique challenges. You have to be prepared to really work for what you want, because it might mean getting up a little earlier, or working on the weekends, or giving up some of those Netflix binges. But hard work pays off mama. 

Today we’re covering some of the logistics of freelancing and working a full-time job that people don’t always tell you about. I want to make sure you’re covering all your bases! 

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

  • Why you have to really love what you’re doing 
  • What to consider when transitioning from employee to business owner 
  • The importance of understanding your company’s H.R. policy on having a side gig
  • Tips for talking to your boss about starting a side gig
  • The importance of continuing to be present at your current job
  • How to turn your previous employer into your highest paying client
  • The value of networking online
  • How to build an online presence and start putting yourself out there

Let me remind you that you should not and do not have to do this all by yourself. Isn’t life hard enough? You need a family of free mamas to support, uplift and surround you. If you are wondering if freelancing is right for you, I would love for you to join our amazing online community over on Facebook >> Free Mama Movement Community
