Today I’m talking to Skye McLain, a self-employed virtual
assistant who has a side hustle as a lifestyle blogger. This is
part two of my interview with Skye, so if you missed part one go
back and check that out at peptalksforsidehustlers.com/185 and
be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode.
Today Skye and I are getting deep into:
- Why Skye is so passionate about personal finance, especially
for women.
- How she convinced her husband to get onboard with her plan to
pay off $57,000 in debt in 22 months.
- How Skye used her blog to stay accountable to her goal.
- Why it’s possible for ANYONE to get out of debt.
- My debt-free journey and quitting my day job led me to getting
out of debt.
- Why making MORE money from a side hustle isn’t the only way to
get freedom, flexibility and financial independence.
- How Skye is working on feeling like she’s qualified to help
women get control of their finances and get out of debt – and what
happened when she decided to just own it.
- How to handle negative feedback when you get the courage to put
yourself out there.
- Skye’s book list for bloggers.
- How Skye manages owning her own VA business and her side hustle
as a lifestyle blogger with her family.
- Why both Skye and I hid our blogs and online businesses from
people we knew in real life.
- How Skye is working on changing the belief that she is worthy
of promoting herself.
