Are you contemplating taking on a second job or starting a business, while employed? Is that new job to replace the current one or just be a second stream of income? Is the new business going to be positioned to replace your current job? Or will it be something that you run part-time while you're employed full-time with your 9-to-5?

What's your motivation for making these career moves? What's your WHY?

Today's episode is going to explore the reasons why many people choose to take on a second job or start a side gig or business. We'll even discuss the Do's and Don'ts, the red flags and traps that many people struggle with. We present scenarios which help you to take into consideration your goals, family and social life, desire for "freedom", work-life balance, health and well being, and more.

We'll discuss how to professionally and ethically apply for a new job or start your new business, how to be transparent with your current and future employers, the legal matters you must consider and address, possible opportunities that you might have with your current employer, and when is the right time to end your relationship with your employer and run your business full-time.
