As creators and entrepreneurs, our instinct is almost always to do everything, all at once, all by ourselves. We aspire toward a dream life and are willing to put in the work to live it. In this episode, Charli and Haley talk with Angel Marie, Creator Educator at ConvertKit, and a creator in her own right. 

Over the past year, Angel has learned a thing or two about balance, hustle, and doing it all. She worked full-time, traveling constantly, and managed to expand her side hustle along the way. In addition to her personal and professional aspirations, Angel wanted to give back whenever she could, volunteering on the weekends and investing in the communities she visited. 

If you’re a creator who wants to do it all but still keep your day job (plus a few side gigs), Angel breaks down the lessons she's learned about service, priorities, and developing as a creator, while paving the way for traveling entrepreneurs. 

“One of those things that I realized was, at the end of the day, we can be our worst critic. I am my worst critic. And I realized that even though I wasn’t doing coaching programs while I was traveling, I was still building my side hustle by prioritizing my own growth as a coach and a leader.” ~ @angelmarieofficial

Main takeaways

  • [13:11] When balancing travel with work, it’s important to stay organized and always have a backup plan for WiFi and a workspace. 
  • [18:39] Though we can try, it’s impossible to balance everything. Be aware of and intentional with your priorities. 
  • [22:48] You don’t have to give up your side hustle to travel and work full-time. Simply pick and choose the parts of your side hustle that you plan to prioritize in this season of your life. 
  • [23:57] Stay in a place for at least one month if you’re balancing work and traveling. Give yourself enough time to enjoy and explore each new location. Otherwise, you’ll feel rushed and the experience won’t be worth it. 
  • [26:20] Do not allow yourself to fall into a vacation mindset. You won’t stay productive if you relax into the newness of each spot. 
  • [28:09] Give yourself grace while balancing traveling and work. You won’t see everything and that’s ok. Whatever the location, it’s not going anywhere.
