Listen To The Podcast: Have you ever been curious about trying something different as a career… but you just weren’t sure how to start… or if you even should? That’s where Lise Cartwright found herself a few years ago. She was in a job that wasn’t fulfilling. A little part of her was dying every day. She knew there had to be better for her. BUT… she wasn’t in a place where she could just quit and start all over. Instead, she launched a side hustle. That is… she started to experiment with different kinds of work on her own time. Writing. Organizing. Planning. All the stuff she loved. But now she was doing it for other people. And she was getting paid. Things started to take off and she quit her “bad fit” job. Now, she’s doing work that she enjoys… while getting paid well to do it. It’s not easy… but it sure is satisfying. I love Lise’s story. How about you?
