Side Hustle to 7 Figures: How to turn your side business into a full-time income

<p>I receive <em>a lot</em> of emails and private messages from new Amazon sellers about what it <em>really</em> takes to build a successful Amazon business. During the COVID-19 pandemic when many people were laid off from their corporate jobs or had their work hours drastically reduced and were trying to decide what they should do to earn a livable wage, many people turned to starting an Amazon business.</p> <p>Now, as things begin to open up and more businesses are slowly starting to hire or call their former employees back to work - many of us are faced with the decision: Should I return to my 9-5, or should I turn my side hustle into a full-time career?</p> <p>In today’s episode, I discuss the nuts and bolts of turning your Amazon side hustle into a successful, 7-figure business. I share my own experience with running an Amazon business and discuss the realistic expectations you should have if you’re thinking about taking your side hustle to the next level. I dig into the real numbers of how much revenue my business earns each year, our average profit margins, and how much I actually pay myself.</p> <p>I explain how to ‘do the math’ to figure out how much you need to sell to earn enough to quit your 9-5 job and the things you need to consider when crunching the numbers. I highlight other factors - beyond money - that you should consider when deciding to turn your side hustle into your full-time career and how your “In a Perfect World” scenario can help you make this decision. I explain why it’s important to ask yourself what working from home could do for you, the sacrifices you’d need to make to be able to work from home full-time, and identifying your biggest fears about quitting your 9-5 job. I also share a blueprint you can follow to turn your Amazon side hustle into a full-time income.</p> <p align="center"><em>“Staying stuck is hard, and changing is hard.
