‘Side hustle’ has become a ubiquitous term—almost 50% of millennials have one . There is boundless information dedicated towards what side hustle you could start, how to balance your day job with it and how to grow your fledgling business . But what happens when your side hustle is so successful that it’s encroaching on your day job? Organizational effectiveness consultant Penny Castle has some insight for those whose side hustles are becoming unmanageable. “Firstly, consider whether your current employers could be secured as a client. There’s also the option to use flexible working practices to your advantage, such as negotiating fewer working days or hours.” Castle also suggests applying Martha Beck’s 5B technique:  Better It: Try to make what you are doing more efficient. Barter It: Barter service or product offerings with other businesses. Buy It: Buy a service, like a virtual assistant. Batch It: Batch time-consuming business elements together, such as invoici...

When we think about giving, we tend to think of it as a selfless act. Best-selling author and keynote speaker Bob Burg doesn’t see it that way. To him, people act in their own interest nearly all the time, whether consciously or unconsciously. However, Burg doesn’t say this to be cynical; he just wants people to understand giving is a full-circle act. What does it mean to be a successful entrepreneur in the pandemic era? To Burg, it means what it’s always meant: providing extreme value to the marketplace. In the latest episode of Brilliant Thoughts with Tristan Ahumada, Burg talks about why the message in his best-selling book The Go-Giver resonates with so many people right now.  Burg and co-author John David Mann first published The Go-Giver in 2007 and then an expanded version in 2015. They also co-authored three other books in the series: The Go-Giver Influencer , Go-Givers Sell More and The Go-Giver Leader . The series has remained a popular choice among readers in t...

This week on SUCCESS Line , I talk to Crystal, a successful real estate agent, graduate of SUCCESS Coaching and author.  Like many of us, Crystal’s biggest goal in life is to make an impact on everyone she meets, and she knows that one of the most powerful ways we can do that is to ask questions. But what questions should we ask?  The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. If you find you don’t have the life you want, the very first place to start is to ask yourself better questions—ones that make you accountable for everything you are experiencing, good or bad. When we take responsibility for our situation, we are empowered to change our situation.  If you’re not sure where to start, read on for eight of the most powerful questions you can ask.  1. How do you plan to change what you do today in order to grow your business tomorrow? If we constantly play catch-up, we put ourselves in the passenger seat of our own l...

If you’re a woman whose opinions about blitzing versus pass coverage are as strong as your halftime snack game, you’re officially a football fangirl. Tracy Sandler reclaimed the once-dismissive term when she founded Fangirl Sports Network specifically for female sports fans. The network blends traditional sports reporting with lifestyle articles.  A longtime San Francisco 49ers supporter, Sandler is an officially accredited beat writer covering the team. She travels to the games and — in non-COVID times — to the locker room. In addition to her writing, Sandler hosts the podcasts Get My Job and The Tracy Sandler Show , highlighting women in sports. “We’ve made tremendous strides in the sports industry for women… but I didn’t feel like there was content that spoke to women, and let women be fans how they wanted to be,” Sandler says. “There was a lot of gear that was only pink. I happen to love pink… but not every woman does.” In this episode of SUCCESS Stories , Sandler tells ...

To-do lists are helpful tools for many people, but they can quickly take over our lives, making daily living feel like just another item to cross off of a never-ending list. If you’re anything like us, you may even add easy tasks like ‘make coffee’ to your list, just to be able to cross off a win early in the day. Much like to-do lists can be great reminders of what we need to prioritize and focus on, creating a to-don’t list can help you remember what to avoid doing and make saying no to the things that don’t serve you a little easier.  Listen to this week’s episode of the rich & REGULAR podcast and keep reading for ways to develop a to-don’t list that may help you free up important time in your life. To-do or to-don’t Having a to-do list is often one of the best ways to prioritize what’s essential. It helps make sure you get the most important tasks completed first. The to-don’t list works similarly, but it’s a conscious effort to avoid the things that either distract ...

“You gotta answer your DMs, man,” says Jairek Robbins, half laughing, in his latest Brilliant Thoughts interview with Tristan Ahumada. Robbins, who is an acclaimed business coach, best-selling author and motivational speaker, is also the new president of SUCCESS—a position he says started with an Instagram message. “ Opportunity is always knocking ,” he adds, an idea he’s been reflecting on a lot lately. If opportunity is always knocking, it’s clear that Robbins is answering the call. From his early work in the nonprofit sector to traveling the world as an in-demand keynote speaker, Robbins has dedicated his life to inspiration. What motivates him? For Robbins, everything comes down to core values . Find your second mountain. You don’t have to be just like Jairek Robbins to work with him, but you do have to share his value of caring . Robbins says he only works with people who care about something larger than themselves, an act he describes as “finding your second mountain.” “The...
