Are you being bombarded by people telling you to start a side hustle? How easy is it and are the coaching programs worth it? What should you really consider before investing your money in someone else's course?

Ashley and Sumi are lifting the hood on this Instagrammable world where we see influencers on holiday in exotic locations having these million-dollar earning months. They're urging us to consider whether our planned side hustle is in alignment with our values and whether the investments we are considering making are really worth it. 

There's so much to think about before you leverage your idea for true time freedom. It's worth investigating the courses and the influencers thoroughly before jumping into someone else's pyramid scheme. What is your business plan? And what is your marketing plan? How are you thinking pragmatically before buying into the 'fakery'? 

Entrepreneurship requires ruthless honesty. Ashley and Sumi are dishing up hearty dishes of honesty in this candid episode of Women Rewriting the Rules. Let's change the statistics of women being successful in business by not falling for all the flashy stuff. Please join us.
