The Realities of Turning Passions into Profits for a lIfe You Love with Wendy Verwey

This episode is with one of my besties, Wendy Verwey, and I loved having her for a variety of reasons, but the best part is that her story is truly valuable and inspiring for the person thinking of starting side hustles or turning a passion into a profitable business.

Wendy shares her journey of taking control of her money and retiring early as a single mom, and now helping others monetize what they love, develop other revenue streams, and create fulfilling lives.

We discussed various income streams that people have found success with, such as selling digital resources or dog-sitting (in her case), and how these align with their values and interests. There is a vital component to anything you decide to turn into a business - it must align with your values!

In this episode, we dive into the importance of knowing yourself in order to translate that into your work and find success with business and developing your brand.

Most businesses are built on solving a problem for someone and providing a solution or result. So, we discussed the process of finding your ideal business idea, utilizing skills and interests you already have, trying different things, and not being afraid to ask for help or suggestions from others.

We really want to encourage our listeners to explore their passions and talents to find a business idea that is both fulfilling and profitable because there in lies true success. And as Wendy says, “creating a life you don’t need a vacation from”.

Wendy's casual, relatable and fun approach to life inspires listeners to take control of their money and their lives.
