Today I'm starting a new series called #StartSmallStartSmart inspired by the mini-lessons I seem apt to write on Instagram.
Today's lesson was inspired by a podcast I recently heard by Ms. Myleik Teele (founder of Curl Box).
Read on to find out the most crucial step when starting a side hustle...
Read MoreYou know what phrase I really hate?
It’s complicated.
Whether you’re talking about a relationship, “but what do you mean you’re not ready for a relationship?”It’s complicated.
Or trying to figure out how to run a business “But how can a CTA help with the know, like & trust factor plus get you your ROI?”
It’s complicated.
Actually that one just sounds complicated.
And what I hate even more is that I’ve found myself using the very phrase that I hate.

And you need to be aware of any restrictions (like taxes and business expenses) in order to formulate a proper plan. The method is about the technique used to pay down debt as well as how you keep you on track and motivated. So as implied from the title of this post I’m going to discuss the actual “how to”.
