Welcome to my adventure!
As I approach my 40s, I’ve come to realize that while life is good in many ways, I always feel like something’s missing. For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of working for myself, building something I could truly call my own. But the comfort and security of a stable job have often held me back. And let’s face it, being a single mom to two incredible little girls makes financial security a top priority!
That’s when I thought, why not try a side hustle? The idea: start something on the side that—if all goes well—might one day grow into a full-time gig. Of course, my ever-cynical brother chimed in, “Myriam, come on, all these influencers promising $5,000 a month from side hustles? Total nonsense.”
It got me thinking: is it really nonsense? I honestly don’t know… but I want to find out.
Here’s where you come in. I’m documenting it all—every hour spent, every dollar invested, every failure, every small win, and every tool I use. My goal? To share my journey honestly with anyone who’s curious, without sugarcoating it or throwing around unrealistic promises.
So, welcome to my little corner of the internet. Part blog, part experiment, all real. If you’re looking for a mix of humor, lessons learned the hard way, and an unfiltered look at chasing dreams, you’re in the right place.
Let’s dive in together. Because testing out your dreams? That’s worth it, don’t you think? 😉l likely discover new strengths and interests that can enhance your primary career.
