Taylor, you are such a brave, bold, badass and if there's one thing I know, fortune favors the bold. You're setting off a chain reaction and I *know* it's going to lead to amazing insights and opportunity in one way or another!!! Cheering you on MASSIVELY!! If I know of people looking for a fantastic executive assistant I will let you know!!!

Here's some brainstormed in real time (aka take with a grain of salt lol) ideas:

-Network with local biz groups or business owners where you can pitch your valuable executive assistant skills to help the overwhelmed biz owners. Their time sucked up = money lost. Win for them and you.

-Pitch local businesses to write blogs/content for them.

-Send a personal text/email to your close contacts (family/friends/colleagues) that you're looking for a (virtual?) executive assistant role and/or blog/copywriter for companies. Personal outreach is 1,000% better odds at getting people to put on their "helpful/thinking cap" to think of people they know, opportunities, etc.

-Look for well paying nanny jobs.

-Polish up your resume & apply to higher paying jobs (executive assistant, business admin, education(?), etc.) to make that money hunni and build up a cushion that affords you more freedom & flexibility in the future as you pursue what you really love (<- currently my strategy lol)

-Offer virtual home organizing/cleaning services

-Network in local groups to offer home organization services

-Brand sponsorships... any products that you use/love/are crazy about that you could get sponsored from the brand?

-Start a side stack called something like "Taylor's Tries to Get Rich" and document everything on your quest. 1) ppl are hella curious & I think would eat that shit up (bigger following = easier to monetize) 2) what better way to light a fire of determination than in real time with eye balls watching (note: this could be best or worst idea ever. Please consider all downsides carefully πŸ˜…) I've thought about doing something like this. Maybe I will hmm lol.

-Keep manifesting, visualizing big thinking and asking for what you need. πŸ’›

-Look for opportunities to guest post and/or guest podcast to grow your following.

-Link to any paid offers in footer of emails to make it easy for ppl to pay/hire you.

-Keep testing and experimenting with putting paid offers out there. (And if something blombs? No such thing as failure, just insight and wisdom leading you closer to what's perfect for you).

TL;DR

You're amazing and I KNOW you're on the right path. You've got this!!! πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Love this Taylor, totally made me laugh and I agree - you need to ask for what you want! Also love you saying that Substack gave you back your love for writing. I felt like that since I left social media, stopped focusing on making money and went back to "coaching as a side hustle just because I love it". And you know what happened when I did that? My subscriber count more than doubled, I LOVE my life again (last year was hard to reasons I won't go into) AND more money is coming in. Gotta align with the dream πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ

Out of curiosity, why don’t you use your college degrees?! Wishing you the best of luck on this journey! ❀️

HA great question, I have zero interest in working in the field of psychology. All those desires left after Lily. I got my masters partially for funzies and partially for my nonprofit. My masters is good for the corporate world or any type of HR but I don’t want that kind of job lol

Thank you. I had asked the universe for more time/freedom to actually become a full time writer… a week later I found out about my job 🀣 I gotta be really careful for what I ask for lol
