Nobody has higher expectations for you than the person in the mirror. That self-applied pressure is heavy. We need to look at our lives and ask, where am I robbing myself of joy due to false expectations I’ve placed on myself? Don’t beat yourself up for moving at the pace you need to in order to survive.

Welcome back to Questionably Awesome! Today, Evans and I answer your questions about playing small and finding balance.
Cornelia Baum asks: Tips on finding the balance (or I like to say, finding harmony) as you're 'bootstrapping.' I'm at a point in my business where the old way isn't bringing in enough cash flow... partially because of COVID and partially because of my own burnout. I'm so lit up about the direction I'm going and what I'm creating... but constantly caught up in the band aids (side jobs) I've created to pay the bills, rather than focusing on my business and this new direction.
Chrissy Kunkel asks: I have been playing small in my interior design business and recently raised my rate. Where I'm struggling is with comparison. I'm seeing counterparts who have far less experience doing amazing things and really cool projects. I feel like my jobs suck in comparison, and I can't seem to break away from looking and staying in my own lane. How do you stay the course and not feel like you suck all the time? How can you channel this energy to grow instead of setting you back and making you feel inferior and loser-ish?

Every person needs a passive side hustle. This is not negotiable. It’s important to build something that pays you when you’re not working, instead of your income requiring a large investment of your time on an ongoing basis.
Your financial goal should always be to get to the point where, if one of your income sources disappeared tomorrow, you would not have to change your lifestyle. Most people aren’t there yet, but a passive side hustle — not a busy, time-consuming, expensive side hustle — is the way to get there.
One of the greatest opportunities for creating a passive side hustle right now is course development. The way people want to learn is changing forever. They want to move straight from Point A to Point B, and that’s what courses do for them. They’re not as intensive to build as people think, and once it’s launched, it will start selling while you sleep.
It’s time to take your future into your own hands. The world is too dynamic to rely on just one source of income.

It’s so easy to look around for outside guidance and forget that there’s something in our gut that is telling us what to do. When you’re in the middle of the journey, far enough that you can’t remember why you started but not far enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it can be tempting to just give up as a way of avoiding the wrong move. But your gut is always guiding you and it is going to take care of you.
