While traveling, Teri was constantly asked to show others how she was successfully trading in the stock market.

Teri now offers an online curriculum that shares her investing strategies with people all over the world. She also partners with organizations and companies to train and empower individuals to achieve financial freedom and build wealth through investing. In this episode, Teri shares advice on how to finally get started with her course, how to work on your mindset for trading and gives some tips on how to reach your income goals with trading.

In this episode, I’m sharing what those three things are. I’m giving you real-world examples that I’m implementing right now, and that you can start working on too!

265: How to Overcome Doubt and Move Forward With Your Side Hustle REWIND

Life happens, right? So here we are with Week 2 of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp! I’m sharing my thought process and tips on how to push past the doubt and move forward with your side hustle idea. After Week 1 of the Side Hustle Pro Bootcamp, a lot of people reached out to me to share the doubts and fears that have been holding them back. I get it. Starting a new hustle is 90% mental in the beginning. You’ve got to work up the mental courage, because staying in the “indecision zone” is NOT beneficial to where you want to be. Plus, you’re withholding your greatness from the world. Why not you? You’re just as capable, talented, and dedicated as anyone else. Your idea and side hustle are worthy of your attention and focus. In this episode I’m sharing real practices I use to break out of analysis paralysis and get down to business.
