Changing your life is never easy.
To be able to take control of your future and make a success of it by starting your own business is not something everyone succeeds at.
That’s why I wanted to talk to the amazing Danielle Carrigan, who left teaching to start working as a VA. Within the first year she has built a team of 11 associates and is now starting a second business as well.
But it wasn’t easy in any way. Danielle struggled with her mental health as a teacher, which inspired the drive to want to change her life. She talks openly about her experiences from the balancing act of side hustling to the setbacks she has overcome to get to this point.
Resilience and finding the right support have been crucial for her along the way, whether in person or through communities like The HoLT.
No matter if you are in the thick of your side hustle or an established business owner there’s a lot to learn from the incredible Danielle.
“I woke up in the middle of the night and I thought I was having a heart attack.” – Danielle
