No...but thanks for asking! - When I Grow Up

No...but thanks for asking! - When I Grow Up Every month, Im gonna stretch my designer-y skills and give ya my mantra (or a great quote from someone else, or a passing thought, or an a-ha! moment) as an image. You can print it out and tape it up where ya need to remind yourself of it, or download it as your desktop wallpaper, or add it to your Pinterest boardwhatever ya want! As a recovering people pleaser, I was used to saying Yes.and then coming up with a lil white lie down the line to get myself out of whatever I begrudgingly committed myself to. But as my mentor Judge Judy says, If you tell the truth, you dont have to have a good memory and my memory became quite terrible. I hated lying, I hated the guilt that came with it, and I certainly hated having to remember when I was sick or had to work late or visit my family. Horrible! Despite the fact that I honestly havent done that in a number of years, Im still conditioned to say Yes! I said Yes to everything that came my way when I was building my business and it was sooooo helpful in getting people to know who I am and what I do but then it got to the point that, well, there was just 1 of me and a whole lot of offers. Not that I wasnt grateful, but man oh man it became much too much! So, I took out my markers and my cardstock and wrote this NO (but thanks for asking) and taped it to my computer for a month. I said No, but thanks for asking! every time something wasnt a Hell Yes!, and it was just the barometer I needed. Hope its the barometer you need, too! (If youre one of those peeps who needs more Yes in their life, make your own YES (Id love to!) and stick it where itll make an impact. Would love to hear what comes out of it!)

A 30-Year-Old Who Quit Corporate Life to Earn 6 Figures Working Remotely From an Island Shares His Best Advice

A 30-Year-Old Who Quit Corporate Life to Earn 6 Figures Working Remotely From an Island Shares His Best Advice In 2014, Mike Zima and his wife Irena were vacationing in the Bahamas. “We were floating like ducks in the warm water, and Chicago was an ice palace we didn’t want to return to,” he told Business Insider. “We wanted to be happy when we come home. To be fair, Chicago has good deep dish pizza, but we weren’t happy coming home when we could have a better life.” Zima, now 30, and Irena had always known they wanted to move to Europe, and when they returned home, he started seriously looking into how they could make that happen. “The typical transition is like, ‘Ok, we’re going to move, I’m going to find a job, everything will be all right,'” he said. “But that’s almost working against the grain, because relocating to another country is very difficult.” Zima started experimenting with Fiverr, a site that lets people pay others for tasks outside their expertise starting at $5 each. “I knew I would need income to supplement our lifestyle, because in Europe you have to take a pay cut with a traditional job,” he said. Zima’s day job was in digital marketing, so he used his experience to start consulting in a similar vein. Over the next few years, he gathered expertise in Google Analytics to enhance his side gig, and soon, his web consulting started picking up. In 2015, his income from Fiverr “went from $50 a month to a couple hundred a week,” he said. “I started getting good reviews, and that’s when I had the day job and the side hustle side by side.” “All of 2016 was me doing the side hustle on my lunch breaks,” he continued. “On my way to work and on my way home â€" almost every waking moment was going into this.” That was the year he and Irena bid Chicago goodbye and headed for Spain. Now, after a stint in Barcelona, he lives in Mallorca, the stunning Mediterranean resort island that hosts the Spanish royal family on their annual summer holiday. He supports himself through his own company, data analytics and social media agency Zima Media, which operates through the Fiverr Pro platform with cofounder Damien Bouvier, who is based in London. In 2017, he earned six figures. Because he makes his own schedule, Zima is able to prioritize himself over his work. He generally works about 60 hours a week, and right now he’s in the process of getting a Spanish driver’s license. Irena also works on Fiverr, doing photo retouching and helping Zima Media with administrative work and design. “Mallorca is fantastic,” he said. “It’s almost a fairy tale.” For people who have similar dreams of creating remote work that lets them live anywhere in the world, Zima has some advice: “I got really good at one thing,” he said of mastering Google Analytics, “and then that just percolated to all of my other experiences. I took things that were a part of my day job, which I was very experienced at, and meshed it and overlapped it to make a more compelling offer.” He continued: “If you’re going to start a side hustle, it has to be about either learning a skill you never had the chance to pick up on your own, or exploring something that makes you happy.” This article originally appeared on BusinessInsider.com.
