Side Hustle GROWTH

Jun 23 2022 • 13 mins

“You need to put yourself first — that is ultimately what it comes down to.”

- CJ


This episode is designed to help you feel inspired, validated, and reassured on your entrepreneurial journey!


If you’re on the verge of leaving your 9to5 and turning your side biz into your full-time (or even just starting to think about it), then you may be dealing with a little bit of guilt. Maybe your job has given you valuable training opportunities or you’ve been promoted. Maybe your coworkers or managers heavily rely on your skills. You may feel like quitting your job is a type of abandonment… even if being there makes you feel miserable!


There are a few very good reasons why your guilt is misplaced — and why you should NEVER let corporate loyalty hold you back from following your dreams.


In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • Why you should NEVER feel guilty about leaving a corporate job, no matter how many opportunities they give you
  • Why the guilt can secretly be a good thing — and what feeling that guilt REALLY means
  • How to know when it’s time to move on (even when you’re getting promoted)
