Are you pricing your coaching so people will like you; are you pricing your coaching to make as much money as possible on a short time? I have a better plan - price your coaching based on the income you want to live your life outside of your coaching business. In this week's episode, I break down the process of how we do this in the Elevate Your income marketing intensive. Plus discuss Price Pacing, charging for where you are in your business, with a pricing plan for the future. When it's just not possible to “charge your worth,” because you simply infinitely valuable, this is the conversation that is actually helpful in how to price.

My side-hustling friends, I have come to the realization that it's time to say goodbye to the GOT SIDE HUSTLE show. As it started, "ELEVATE YOUR 8" and morphed into GOT SIDE HUSTLE, I have made some amazing friends and learned so much about myself and what it takes to build a business. I have come to really understand productivity and time management and how I can make the best of every hour in every day. I have created systems and procedures for working my side hustles in less than one hour a day. And now it's time to do something different. The show will still be around - and from time to time I will likely do a special episode when I really have something to say or I have a great guest... But until then, the GOT SIDE HUSTLE show is always here for you. THANK YOU for being part of this community and for subscribing to the show.  I appreciate each and every one of you more than I can possibly say.

OH YEAH!  We're getting closer and closer to finishing this amazing BONUS series on starting your Side Hustle in 2022.   To Recap: You came up with your why/what's missing You visualized your dream side hustle You brainstormed names and created your "I Help" statement Today we're putting together start dates, timelines, and work hours. It's really important to put that start date out there ASAP and TELL PEOPLE!  When you do this, you give yourself NO EXCUSES to launch because you've made it public.  This is a scary, scary thing - but y'all can do it.   Then it will be super important to talk about how many hours a week you'll dedicate to your launch plan and then how many hours a week you'll "work" once that side hustle is up and running. Review your Elevate Your 8 strategies for this homework and guess what - you are getting closer to launching that brand new small business of yours!

Hey everyone!  Hope you're continuing to enjoy the Greatest Hits!  We are about two weeks away from being back to new content.  Meanwhile...enjoy this oldie but goodie about BURNOUT. Well, it happened!  The World Health Organization has finally come up with a medical diagnosis for burnout.  In the workplace, at least, not in life.  Still - this shit is REAL.  Read about the new diagnosis here.   But meanwhile - we still have to figure out ways to avoid it, right?  So Forbes and I have come up with Five Strategies (that is, Forbes shared the strategies, I'm coming up with some additional tips and resources). Don't forget that the music for the Elevate Your 8 Podcast comes from Ben Sound.    Sleep Smarter, by Shawn Stevenson.

OH MY GOD - I am so honored and excited to share today's episode of Elevate Your 8 - it's quite possibly the biggest deal interview to date! My guest today is Sarah Knight - NY Best Selling Author of books such as “The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck,” “Get Your Shit Together,” “You Do You,” “Calm the Fuck Down,” and the newest, “Fuck No!”   Before Sarah became an “anti-guru,” she spent fifteen years as a book editor in New York City.  The utterly terrifying decision to quit that career underpins much of the advice in her best-selling No Fucks Given Guides series. In the NFGG's, Sarah writes about mental health, setting goals, taking risks,  getting motivated, getting organized, and all the usual self-help stuff...but she does it with profanity and silly charts and long-form analogies involving cartoon chipmunks.  It DOES work.  It was such a joy to talk with Sarah and realize that we are simpatico with many of our own philosophies - plus she also prefers Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi and Madonna to GaGa.  MEANWHILE - I'm cooking up some very cool stuff during this Summer Break...including a NEW membership and a FREE Masterclass.  You can register for the masterclass HERE.  it's happening on Saturday, July 24th at 10 am PST.  I'll see you there!

It's been almost two years since this episode launched...and in that time, I've come to think of Adam Schaeuble as not only a coach and mentor but as a really amazing friend.  Adam gives so much of himself with every lesson, every podcast episode, and every hilarious Instagram Reel.   This was my first collaboration with Adam, but it won't be the last.  Adam will likely be providing a masterclass for the Smart Side Hustle Society and he's shared some great material with me that I'll be posting after the summer vacation.   Meanwhile, enjoy this episode, one of the Greatest Hits of Elevate Your 8. ---------------------------- I am SO effing excited to publish this show!  I had an absolute blast talking with Adam Schaeuble, the Ph.D. (Previously Heavy Dude) of the Million Pound Mission and Casting the Pod.  Adam shares some of his story on how he lost 100 pounds, opened his own gym and shared his passion for health and fitness around his community in Bloomington, Indiana.  Five years later, Adam has helped the citizens of Bloomington lose over 35,000 pounds and he's not stopping until the nation reaches ONE MILLION! Adam and I share a love of 90's pop culture (Party Time, Excellent!), letting our passion be our purpose; and, of course, podcasting!  Make sure you listen to the very end of the show to catch the "blooper" cut!   To learn more about Adam, check out his bio HERE. And here are ways you can connect with Adam: Instagram Million Pound Mission Casting the Pod

SO:  here's the deal.  Finals are over, summer is officially here, and I've come to realize that I have WAY too much on my plate.  Even though the college doesn't close, there's still that underlying notion that things should slow down, get a little easier, right? No fucking way.  I'm busier than I've ever been.  And I've got to get some stuff off my plate. In this episode, I'm talking about what I need to do to get my priorities in gear.  How I want to realign my life and get things in order.  And I've decided that Got Side Hustle is going on summer break.   So you'll be treated to the Greatest Hits of Elevate Your 8 and Got Side Hustle while I realign my shit - and then I'll be back with new vigor and energy.  Because I deserve it - and you all, especially, y'all deserve it too! Original Music for GOT SIDE HUSTLE is composed and performed by Chris Corral.

(what IS the best Side Hustle for you, BTW?  Click here to find out!) Well, friends, here we are!  The new show is launching and I am SO friggin' excited!  It's been great fun to work with my coach and make the decision to niche down a bit and start talking to career professionals in higher education about creating time to work on their side hustles.   And the result is "The Got Side Hustle Show."  Still the same host - me, Kris McPeak - and still a huge focus on productivity and time management.  "Elevate Your 8" really hasn't gone anywhere - it's still the basis for everything I teach and role model and it will be shared often with the new format.   But I really wanted to start talking to the people that I'm best designed to support, and that's folks like me who work in higher education.  In that vein, not all the guests will be higher education practitioners, but we can all learn from everyone who has ever held a full-time job AND a side hustle.   If you haven't listened to the BONUS episode from February 22nd, please go check that out because it really digs into why I wanted to shift my show around. And now - here's my FIRST guest! Leslie Levito is an entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience. Her first business was a multi-million dollar action sports retail shop.  She moved to LA and became the International Sales Director and then COO of Baker Boys Distribution. Her next stop was Co-Founder of a top branding agency, called FaustLevito, which created brands that hit some of the hottest Top 10 lists in Los Angeles.  Currently, she has 2 businesses... she relaunched her branding agency as Etcetera and has a startup called Cutclass, which gives professionals and small business owners are the tips and tools she has learned doing business and getting her executive MBA.  She just launched her first podcast, Out to Launch. She's an expert in branding and business strategy, and flip turns in the pool. www.letscutclass.com Original Music was composed and performed by Chris Corral.

Well, here it is. I've been working on this new show concept for about three months now.  And I'm so excited to roll it out! Elevate Your 8 is now The Got Side Hustle Show!  This is the show where I help Career Professionals in higher education create time for their side hustle so they don't waste their potential.  You know who you are - the Student Life staffer who longs to create a consulting business on diversity.  The Fiscal Services auditor would like to build a tax preparation gig on the side.  Or the Career Services manager who wants to coach career changers on the weekends.  There are dozens and dozens of possibilities and I want to help you get there. This show will feature solo episodes where I teach a concept or strategy, interviews with career professionals, and “hot seat” coaching episodes (which are FREE - apply here).   I can't wait to share more interviews and episodes with you!  Make sure you hit the SUBSCRIBE button so you don't miss an episode!

We are creeping up on the last episode of Elevate Your 8 and getting ready to transition to "The Got Side Hustle Show."  Are you as excited as I am?   For this interview, my mind was absolutely blown to realize just how strong one woman can be.  Rebecca Packard worked as an EMT and a Firefighter AT THE SAME TIME before an injury forced her retirement.  Now she helps other people deal with their trauma and her story is pretty amazing.  You will really be moved by the episode. A leading accredited preventative trauma care teacher and educator, self-help instructor, Youtuber,  speaker and Live Happy ambassador. Rebecca works with entrepreneurs and service-focused individuals to scale, adapt and pivot their life for whole-life wellness and success.

Welcome to my first Workshop Week! Since the Elevate Your 8 Philosophy covers your workday, then I think it's time we started talking about the main tool you need to get the job that aligns with your values and talents. The Resume. Many people know how to create one, but very few people actually know how to format a resume so it elevates your skills, talents, and career highlights. I've been in the workforce for more than 30 years; and since switching to the resume format that I'm going to teach you in this series, I have NEVER had a failed job search.  And I've ALWAYS been invited to interview.   The key to a solid, functional resume is completely understanding where you've been and how to represent what you can do.  Potential employers want to know how you can contribute to their organization - they DON'T want to look at a laundry list of your job titles. For this final lesson, we are discussing Career Highlights and Action Verbs. Career Highlights are those "feathers in your cap" that help your resume stand out.  And then action verbs bring more credibility to your resume by speaking to exactly what you did in a particular program, task, or responsibility.  My favorite online reference is at The Muse.   Did you enjoy this workshop week?  I'd LOVE to know!  Please email me at info@krismcpeak.com

Lesson Four - Rank, Post, Format So let's recap:  you reflected on all your previous positions and wrote down the tasks and day to day duties of each one.  That was exhausting, I know.  Next, you took those tasks and grouped them into themes, then turning those themes into various skill sets.  And then you listed the most relevant tasks under the skill sets.   With today's lesson, you are going to rank your skill sets accordingly so the most important ones are listed towards the top and format your document so it fits the position for which you're applying. That's right - you may very well be tweaking this document from time to time in order to best fit the representative duties for that position.  So carve out some time this week to explore the entire workshop, and feel free to email me at info@krismcpeak.com if you have any questions about the workshop!

Lesson Two - What Can You Do? In Lesson One, we talked about doing a thorough excavating of your current resume, including but not limited to creating a week or so of “Time on Task” at your current job in order to identify all the various tasks that you have done in your current and previous jobs.  This can be a rather tedious exercise and I totally compliment you on completing this.   After today's lesson, you will be preparing to organize and synthesize all of these tasks into various themed groups that will lead to your skills and competencies.  So carve out some time this week to explore the entire workshop, and feel free to email me at info@krismcpeak.com if you have any questions about the workshop!

Hey!  Welcome to Episode 4!  I just celebrated by 26th wedding anniversary with my hubby and he took me to Las Vegas.  The “Elevate Your 8” philosophy totally went to hell on this trip and I felt a bit of Routine Hangover when I got home.  So today's episode is all about how I enjoyed my amazing anniversary weekend and how I've been rebounding.  Because OH MY GOD - the hubby and I really enjoyed acting like newlyweds again and getting home was tricky.  As I'm listening to the show to edit, I'm realizing that the show is a part editorial comment on the current state of Las Vegas, but that's okay.  I had a lot to say.   I have a new mini-course to help my Elevater Peeps with your morning routine.  You can find that at krismcpeak.com/morningglory. I'm super proud of this course and I think you'll find it very helpful in getting some additional time in your day while you develop your new routine.  Just about 20 minutes a day, for five days and you are all set! Are you a recent college grad and you are looking for work and/or trying to figure out what you're gonna do about work?  Let's chat!  Fill out this form to schedule some FREE coaching and be on the show!

Welcome Welcome Welcome to Season 2 of “Elevate Your 8!” Wow, Season 1 was long, wasn't it?  LOL.  Not really sure how I decided I wanted to have a Season 2, but now we have it, and there you go. OH MY GOSH, it's been a summer and a half, hasn't it?  COVID this and COVID that.  BLAH.  While I recognize that this is the most significant global event of my life and I completely understand the severity and impact, I don't have to like it; and, thus, I don't.  But I'm hanging in there like many of you and I'm making the best of it.  I have about a dozen face coverings at this stage of all sizes, shapes, and colors!   But, Season 2...I have a new intro and I'm super pumped about it!  The musician and narrator's name is Chris Corral and he's open to doing more freelance work, so I hope you'll check out his YouTube Channel and email me him HERE if you'd like to get some music composed and performed for your podcast or whatever you need.   I hope that all of you had a chance to pick up my new book, “The 9-to-5 Side Hustler:  A Guide to Balancing Your Day Job With Your Small Business,” yesterday on Amazon.  It hit #1 Best Seller in 7 categories and was a #1 New Release in 4 Categories.  You can still get the book today for 99 cents because I am just that cool.   Today's Guest is Nick Loper, from Side Hustle Nation.  In his own words, Nick is…. “Chief Side Hustler at Side Hustle Nation. I'm an entrepreneur involved in a variety of projects. Like any business, it has its ups and downs, which can be stressful, but I learn something new every day.   I started this site because I believe in the hustle. After all, what's riskier: starting a business, or relying on your job as your only source of income? I used to work full-time for a giant corporation, but I built my biz nights and weekends. You can do it too. Everyone has their reasons to side hustle: Earn more money Pay off debt Learn new skills Use free time more productively Escape the rat race You can find Nick at sidehustlenation.com or check out his awesome podcast HERE.
