Tasha Booth started a side hustle as a virtual assistant and now she s the CEO of her own company.
According to Booth, all solopreneurs hit a make or break point before successfully moving to a CEO role.
She shares how to get over the hump and into the next phase of growth.
If you re sitting at your desk at a perfectly respectable job with a perfectly nice boss but are still daydreaming of striking out on your own, Tasha Booth understands.
Just three years ago she was a burnt out former theater performer with a pleasant job as an administrator for her local YMCA. But when she looked ahead she saw nowhere to go, no higher rung (or higher paycheck) she could plausibly reach for. She decided to start a hobby blog which grew into a side hustle as a virtual assistant for other online content creators.
