How Rebecca Built a Thriving Business While Working Full-Time

How to Build a Business While Working Full-Time

Ever wonder how to build a business while working full-time?

Rebecca Collins did just that! She was managing a busy TV production career, but she wanted more—more freedom, more fulfillment, and a business she could call her own. 💼✨

I recently caught up with her and we had a chat about her journey from being a TV producer to running her own brand coaching business, the Conscious Communication School, all while keeping her day job. 💪

Rebecca’s story is super inspiring, especially if you’re in that spot where you’re trying to figure out how to turn your skills into a business you love.

Rebecca’s Journey to Building Her Business While Working Full-Time

In this conversation, we deep-dived into:

  • How she went from not knowing where to start to finding her perfect business idea.
  • The challenges of juggling work and building a side business.
  • The magic of beta testing her side hustle and how it gave her the confidence to move forward.
  • The simple systems she put in place to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Why building a community was key to her growth.

Rebecca’s story is proof that with the right strategy and determination, it’s possible to build a thriving business while maintaining a full-time job.

The key to her success was aligning her unique skills, passions, and the impact she wanted to make—a process I help clients discover through the Sweet Spot Session. If you’re ready to explore your own ‘sweet spot’ and uncover the business idea that feels aligned and sustainable, let’s dive in together and create a clear plan that works for you, even with a full-time job.
