This week I chat with Monique Little, CEO & Founder of You Go Natural, one of the nation?s fastest growing natural hair accessory brands. Little founded the company to address the need for easy styling options for women who opt to wear their hair in its natural state. Having started with just a sewing machine, some remnant fabric from her mother?s stash and an idea, in just five years Little has successfully grown a multimillion dollar brand.

In this episode you will learn:

How wanting more freedom in her schedule led to the start of You Go Natural  How she got her product to grow in the first six months to a point where she was making more than her full time job?s salary How she went from working with contractors to opening up a facility and hiring full time employee When she decided to raise capital and how she had to explain the black women?s beauty experience to people who didn?t understand the need for her product Her marketing strategy for scaling the business, when she knew it was time to bring in an external team, & how being in your own target market helps with knowing what to say to your audience + much more!

This week we have an update episode with Teri Ijeoma! One of my goals this year is to dive into Teri?s Trade & Travel course & start trading as a side hustle. And I?m kicking it off by joining her Your First Trade Challenge. You can still join here by the way: http://sidehustlepro.co/firsttrade

Teri Ijeoma began her professional career working in education and nonprofits. When she started trading stocks eleven years ago, she initially saw it as an opportunity to simply supplement her income. However, she was so successful with this side hustle that in 2017, she decided to quit her job, travel the world, and begin trading full-time. While traveling, Teri was constantly asked to show others how she was successfully trading in the stock market. She set up and taught her first class in Thailand, her second in Vietnam, and had a fully-fledged curriculum created by the time she returned to the States. Teri now offers an online curriculum that shares her investing strategies with people all over the world. She also partners with organizations and companies to train and empower individuals to achieve financial freedom and build wealth through investing.

In this episode, Teri shares advice on how to finally get started with her course, how to work on your mindset for trading and gives some tips on how to reach your income goals with trading.

In this episode, we discuss:

Her preferred trading method and what is the difference (going long vs short selling) How to actually get started with Teri?s trading course & trading in general + what causes us to delay getting started Can you really trade stocks as a side hustle to earn an extra income Paper trading and its benefits How to set concrete goals in trading

In this rewind episode, Zakia Blain, the CEO and Founder of FBF Body is in the Side Hustle Pro podcast guest chair today for an update episode! Zakia is the master of the pivot. 

Her company started with a fitness challenge, and when her doctors told her that she couldn?t work out anymore due to an illness, she pivoted into shapewear. 

Then, when the pandemic hit and people were not going outside and didn?t need as much shapewear, FBF Body pivoted into athleisure apparel.

FBF Body?s highly sought after shapewear and fitness apparel has taken on a cult following of its own, largely in part due to Zakia?s open and honest method of sharing herself actually wearing it and looking amazing while doing so.

On this episode, Zakia shares:

How she builds anticipation for her products How she manages and plans out her inventory seasons in advance Her monthly drop technique for new items and so much more

I became a mom in April 2020 and life has never been the same. I think becoming a mom in and of itself is hard anyway, but when you add in a global panorama? Let?s just say it?s been a bit spicy. 

In this episode I?m sharing my mood for Q4 of 2021. It?s ?me season,? and I?m ready to implement all the many ideas that I have been mapping out for the last year and a half! 

Plus, I?m sharing the way Muoyo and I have divided up the juggle of full time parenting and full time careers (spoiler alert: it?s still a struggle!). I?m also sharing what I wish I knew about motherhood before I became a mom.

In this rewind episode, Teri Ijeoma is the first one to tell you that she loves investing in stocks because it allowed her to live her dreams. She is a millennial millionaire, minister, stock investor, and an entrepreneur who teaches others how to invest in the stock market to be able to pay off debt, go on trips, and pay down on mortgages. In other words, how to use stocks in real time to make money now.

Her journey has been unconventional, but has led to a path full of purpose and uniquely made for Teri. She first learned about stocks and trading in high school. After graduating from college, Teri delved into the world of consulting, but later decided she wanted to pursue something more meaningful, which led to a position in education. 

While working in education, Teri started investing in and trading stocks as a side hustle. When she grew this trading side hustle to the point of making $300/day, she decided to make the leap. In this episode, you?ll find out:

Why Teri quit her job in order to help people learn how to trade How going to seminary helped to shape her career How you can use trading as a means for supplemental income

In this rewind episode it is the final week of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp, and we?re going to ACT! That?s right, you?ve officially entered a ?no excuses allowed? zone.

For the past three weeks, we?ve built up to this moment by getting in the zone, kicking our doubts to the curb, finding virtual mentors, starting to do the basics, and limiting the opinions of others. You?ve been equipped for this. You?re ready!

In three tips, I?m sharing how to take action and get things done, and put your side hustle out in the open because like I?ve said before...2021 is the year that we?re talking our side hustle seriously. We want to launch that product, write that blog post, record that video, and tell the world about what we did. You can?t just keep it on your computer. 

We want people to root for you when you?re starting, even if it?s not perfect, because it doesn?t have to be. Like we talked about in week one of the bootcamp, just start! You have to make your product or service in order to make it better. Think of it this way: you can be making sales while you?re improving.

And don?t forget your homework: Announce your side hustle if you haven?t already! I?m rooting for you.

In this rewind episode; you?ve already gotten the motivation you need to stop procrastinating and just go for it. We?ve even talked about pushing past the fear and doubts that might come from ourselves and others. So, this week, I want to tell you my 3-step process for taking action, making moves, and progressing on your side hustle.

It?s a tried and true formula that I?ve been using for the past five years. When I looked back on how I approached creating my podcast as a side hustle, and now, how I?m approaching creating my YouTube channel as a side hustle, I recognize that there are three things I always do.

In this episode, I?m sharing what those three things are.

I?m giving you real-world examples that I?m implementing right now, and that you can start working on too! If you?re diligent with these steps, they will work for you too. Remember, we are making moves by any means necessary in 2021.

Life happens, right? So here we are with Week 2 of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp!

I?m sharing my thought process and tips on how to push past the doubt and move forward with your side hustle idea. 

After Week 1 of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp, a lot of people reached out to me to share the doubts and fears that have been holding them back. 

I get it. Starting a new hustle is 90% mental in the beginning. 

You?ve got to work up the mental courage, because staying in the ?indecision zone? is NOT beneficial to where you want to be.

Plus, you?re withholding your greatness from the world. 

Why not you? 

You?re just as capable, talented, and dedicated as anyone else. Your idea and side hustle are worthy of your attention and focus.

In this episode I?m sharing real practices I use to break out of analysis paralysis and get down to business.

This week's episode is a rewind of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp Week 1.

For the next four weeks, you?ll have a chance to be a part of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp. Don?t worry, there are no pushups, workout plan, or anything of the sort, but what you will get a grasp of is how to break things down into super small achievable steps to actually achieve your side hustle dreams. This week?s episode is all about how to START.

No more procrastination. No more playing around. In 2021, we?re going to commit and do this! Besides, the hardest part of the battle is actually starting your side hustle, but after that, it gets easier. And to be honest, you?re probably stalling because of the drive to be perfect. Stalling and overthinking can create a hamster wheel effect that?s very hard to get out of, even when you know it?s counterproductive and not necessary. Instead of focusing on the wrong things, let?s focus on the right things.

I?m taking you through the journey of: saying ?no? to your own stall tactics and saying ?later? to your own excuses, all while giving you three tips to actually start your side hustle.

Zakia Blain, the CEO and Founder of FBF Body is in the Side Hustle Pro podcast guest chair today for an update episode! Zakia is the master of the pivot. 

Her company started with a fitness challenge, and when her doctors told her that she couldn?t work out anymore due to an illness, she pivoted into shapewear. 

Then, when the pandemic hit and people were not going outside and didn?t need as much shapewear, FBF Body pivoted into athleisure apparel.

FBF Body?s highly sought after shapewear and fitness apparel has taken on a cult following of its own, largely in part due to Zakia?s open and honest method of sharing herself actually wearing it and looking amazing while doing so.

On this episode, Zakia shares:

How she builds anticipation for her products How she manages and plans out her inventory seasons in advance Her monthly drop technique for new items and so much more

I?m celebrating the 5 Year Anniversary of Side Hustle Pro all this month with video interviews with some of my favorite guests of all time! (So you can listen to this episode on your favorite podcast app or watch on the Side Hustle Pro YouTube Channel)

Today in the guest chair, we have Kim Lewis, the CEO and co-founder of CurlMix, a clean beauty brand for curly hair. After a strong showing on Season 10 of ABC?s Emmy Award-winning Shark Tank with her husband and co-founder, Tim, Kim made the daring decision to bet on herself, and turned down a $400,000 Shark deal. 

Less than six months later, Kim?s talent for logistics and marketing secured a seed investment of $1.2M. CurlMix?s sales catapulted to $6M in annual revenue and they have earned over $13M in lifetime sales ? all online. 

On this episode, hear how CurlMix:

Went from a DIY box for curly hair to launching their own products Empowers, educates, and grows their community and customers with weekly Facebook lives Turned down an offer on Shark Tank Started their Equity Crowdfunding campaign How they juggled raising two kids while building a huge business

I?m celebrating the 5 Year Anniversary of Side Hustle Pro all this month with video interviews with some of my favorite guests of all time! (So you can listen to this episode on your favorite podcast app or watch on the Side Hustle Pro YouTube Channel)

Today in the guest chair, we have Angel Gregorio, the founder and owner of The Spice Suite, a growing community-centric spice boutique, located in Washington DC?s Takoma Park community. 

When we first spoke with Angel on the Side Hustle Pro podcast in 2018, she shared how she walked by a vacant storefront with no plan or desire to be a small business owner and decided on the spot to turn it into a spice shop. 

That spice shop has since become a dream incubator and haven. Voted Best Spice Shop in Washington City Paper?s Best of DC, The Spice Suite offers fresh spice blends and cooking oils from around the world, handcrafted and customized to disrupt the typical dining experience. 

And as a way to pay it forward and support fellow dreamers, Angel offers space at The Spice Suite for pop-up shops, free of charge. No fine print. No commission.

On this episode, hear how Angel:

The first steps she took to get her very first product made (and how she started all wrong!) How she makes the margins work for her in eCommerce: How her approach to life and business has shaped her business expansion

In this throwback episode, I share how I got better at getting things done, even under pressure.

I spend less time thinking and talking about what I?m going to do and more time actually doing it.

I learned to cut out all the fluff that makes you FEEL like you?re doing something (to-do lists, buying fancy planners, well organized trello boards) and get down to business.

By making these mistakes, I also learned some key lessons as to why most side hustlers aren?t making the progress they anticipated. You?re probably not accomplishing your goal, because you bit off too much or not taking action because you want everything to be perfect and are afraid of making a mistake.

If you want more guidance on how to actually get things done, consider learning? ?my? ?signature Goal Getter Action Plan?. I can show you how to run a side business in 7 hours per week.

What I really love about Jasmin and her experience is that she started her career in retail on the buying side. And now here she is, a Founder who has landed as a product and business owner on the shelves of Target, the very company she started her career with!

In today?s episode, I love what Jasmin had to share about:

How the majority of her career in retail was pushing the boundaries of representation and inclusion  How that led her to changing the face of the stationery industry with Be Rooted What it?s like to employ her parents!

Today in the guest chair is Alicia Scott, the Founder of Range Beauty.

Fun Fact: I first met Alicia Scott, today?s Side Hustle Pro guest, in 2019 when I was a speaker at the Summit 21 conference. I invited the audience to raise their hand to come up on stage and share their side hustle with the audience. Like a true hustler, Alicia was READY and was the first hand that shot up (scroll through to see the pic of her on stage).

Fast forward 2 years and I am not the least bit surprised to see the AMAZING growth of Alicia?s brand, Range Beauty.

Alicia founded Range Beauty because she noticed the lack of shades available during photo shoots and runway shows. Instead of asking, ?Why can?t there be better options for us?,? she created what she envisioned, a clean beauty brand for the forgotten shades.

In today?s episode, she gets into:

How she went about figuring out where to find a manufacturer How she figured out how to create these actual products How she is kicking down doors and raising capital for her business

I know you?re probably wondering, how?s Nicaila TV going, right?! If you didn?t know, I have a YouTube channel where I post videos about natural hair, lifestyle, and beauty content. I?m already one month in, and I wanted to give you all a little update on how things are going since my channel launched on March 1.

For the first time in a while, I gave myself the freedom to do something fun, again, and didn?t put pressure on myself with creating videos (or even to monetize). This was the start of expanding what I?m known for beyond podcasting, and I actually love doing YouTube! It?s my TV show, and anything goes.

This side hustle has also given me insight into what I see myself doing in the future (more on that in the episode).

In this episode, I?m sharing all that I?ve learned in a short amount of time of doing YouTube, and giving you insight into why I think it?s way harder than podcasting, and how I?ve gotten videos with over 1K views!

Cora Miller became the solution to the one recurring question she had after becoming a new mom: Why aren?t there specific hair products representative for boys of color? 

As she was looking for products to style her son?s hair that were clean and plant-based, to her surprise, there were none, and that bothered her. After seeing this gap in the marketplace and talking through her frustration with her husband, Young King Hair Care, the first multicultural beauty and wellness brand for young men, was born. 

Unlike other hair care brands, it didn?t start in the kitchen for this CEO. Instead, she did months of market research and found a research and development partner who understood her vision. In that search, Cora and her husband found a Black female chemist who had been working in the natural hair care industry for years, and their partnership took off! In a matter of a year, from research to final product, Young King Hair Care was ready to show young boys that it?s okay to groom themselves, and have a self-care moment just for them, too.

From the official launch date in Dec. 2019, to starting with a table set-up in her home hallway, which she affectionately called ?Young King Fulfillment Center,? to now being sold on Target shelves, the Millers are well on their way to redefining male grooming for the next generation.

For Mikaela Pabon, she is living a dream that would make her 8-year-old self ecstatic! She is the founder of the statement-making athleisure brand, Dressed in Joy. It?s interesting to think that she never thought she would be able to live out her fashion dreams, but here she is, today, doing just that as a full-time entrepreneur.

Her initial career path, although she didn?t like it, was in information technology (IT). Eventually, Mikaela found something in that line of work that she did enjoy in working with databases, which she did for about 15 years. But in 2015, the fashion enthusiast took her first dive into entrepreneurship and decided to call it quits after four years, and no profits made. 

After some time away, her dreams started to come back to her, and she was reminded of her days of watching fashion shows and ?House of Style? on MTV, and it led her to design. Not for profit, but for herself. And if you ask Mikaela, she did not intend for the business she has now to be a business. For her, she was just designing something she wanted and didn?t see in the market. And to her surprise, people loved what she had to offer. After learning from her past mistakes, facing her limiting beliefs, and responding to customers, she built a successful and expanding brand and business.

In this episode, you?ll hear:

? How Mikaela went from closing one business to opening another wildly successful one

? How she was able to leave her full-time job to focus on Dressed in Joy full time

? How Instagram Reels helped her to boost her audience in a short amount of time

? And why she believes that no matter the obstacle when it?s meant to be yours, it will be

If you take a look at Danielle Finney?s body of work, you?ll see two common themes: warm expressions and joyful faces. Her signature style as a natural light photographer has connected her to clients and taken her places she never could have imagined.

Danielle originally began her professional career on the administrative track with aspirations to be an executive assistant because she had a desire to help people. And one thing?s for sure, she never saw herself doing photography full-time, even though she had taken a liking to it over time. It was just a side hustle.

Initially, her work was experimental and friends and family-centric ? reaching out to them, trying new things, and learning by trial and error. And even after about four years of developing her creative eye, gaining clientele and finding her photography style, Danielle still didn?t see what she was doing as a ?profitable means of making a living.? 

That was, until life gave her a reason to put herself out there and believe in herself.

And the rest is history! Now, after 13 years in the photography arena, she helps women see themselves in their best light through beautiful, joy-filled photos. As well as, teaches other photographers how to improve their natural light portraits and enhance their client experiences.

For Eniola Oshodi, nursing was all she knew. Her mom did it, so you could describe it as a generational transfer. But after over a decade of working in the medical field, she knew something had to change?

The scrubs, they had to change.

For something that healthcare workers had to wear for shifts on end, everyday, Eniola didn?t think traditional scrubs were flattering, comfortable, or looked good on her. And it was that push that made her create Dope Scrubs, a medical apparel brand that allows healthcare professionals to express themselves through their attire while working on the frontlines.

Upon having the revelation of wanting to make the lives of those like her better in the work wardrobe department, Eniola set out on her ?journey of creation? to figure out how to make scrubs more stylish and comfortable, yet still functional. And after that, she designed the first versions of Dope Scrubs and wore them everyday, but never told anyone she designed them. Even though she didn?t say a word, people started asking about what she was wearing. Talk about a marketing plan!

With a little help from her family, she stopped sitting on what she had created (figuratively and literally), and pressed the ?go? button on becoming the entrepreneur she was made to be.

For Alexia Grant aka ?Chef Lex? aka ?The Bubble Chef,? cooking was always a family affair, or how she puts it, ?a collaborative effort.? And that motivation has taken her very far. She has cooked for the likes of Carmelo and LaLa Anthony, Malcolm Jenkins, Meek Mill, Angela Simmons and Lauryn Hill, and worked with brands like Lululemon and Verizon. 

Growing up with a garden outside of her home, and a loving family who made sure she had a good breakfast in the morning, food was a big thing for her. Although Lex wasn?t sure of what she wanted to do post-high school, it was her grandfather who was her motivation to pursue a career in cooking. Before he passed, he had a real sit-down moment with her about next life steps, which encouraged her to eventually apply to culinary school.

At 19, Lex got her first high paying catering job that catapulted her into the side hustle of catering, which ultimately led her to full-time entrepreneurship. Not to mention, after that catering job, she started telling everyone that she was a ?chef? and no one could tell her otherwise. 

From contracting her services to now running her own lifestyle management firm, and having her own pop-up restaurant, Comfort Kitchen, Chef Lex is a force to be reckoned with. And as my Jamaican sista, I must say, her grind is impeccable.
