Business Betch

Welcome to business betch!

ABOUT

When starting an online business or even a side hustle, you may find that there is an endless amount of information or resources available. The downside is that a majority of content is composed of “fluff” or as I like to say gold plated BS.

New entrepreneurs may end up feeling overwhelmed or develop a case of “information overload”. This can lead to a decline in motivation which ultimately can result in walking away from pursuing an online business.

Business Betch offers a fresh and simple look into the entrepreneur lifestyle, a unique take on how to get started when it comes to blogging, online business, and side hustles. No more of that cookie cutter stereotypical fluff. Business Betch tells it how it is.

First time visiting Business Betch? Allow me to introduce myself on my Start Here Page.

If this is your first time visiting Business Betch I want to start out by saying THANK YOU!

Starting ANY kind of business is NOT EASY. Anyone who claims otherwise is full of it. 

When I started my first business, I was overwhelmed with the endless parade of sugar-coated resources available ( or as I like to say, gold-plated BS ). It took me years of trial and error, analysis paralysis, and massive mistakes to learn about online business and entrepreneurship. It takes time and patience, and only those that stick with it will make sh*t happen.

Friends and family have urged me to start Business Betch with my no BS / no fluff approach to entrepreneurship, blogging, and online business. 

(Plus these are topics I cannot shut up about.. probably best for me to direct this knowledge towards a niche instead of annoy my family, right?)

So here it is…

who is business betch® ?

I’m Kelsey.

In a nutshell, I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur and blogger who loves learning and teaching others. 

I love experimenting with various types of side hustles to give you the low-down on whether they’re actually legit. 

I can show you how to make money and strategically monetize a hobby or something you’re passionate about in more ways than you’ve ever imagined. 

 I’m a huge fan of the law of attraction and believe that mindset is the key to building a strong business foundation.
  

I have a highly analytical background. I was formerly a Sales & Operations Planning Analyst, then a Project Manager in the fashion industry for 3 major fashion corporations. 

I then started my own consulting business where I helped many notable apparel brands scale to growth and improve processes!

I have a degree in International Business. I’m a certified NLP practitioner and REBT Mindset, Transformation coach. 

I’m now a full time Business Betch, I coach new entrepreneurs and provide REAL and AUTHENTIC advice about starting a business.

Fun facts:

I buy a majority of my clothing from resellers online, because not only does it save the environment, it actually supports other entrepreneurs! 

Whenever I’ve been told NOT to do something or something is NOT possible…I take it as a challenge and figure out a way to make it possible.. for example:

I made a blog about extreme couponing and saving money and was able to get $20k worth of merchandise for free (by using coupons!) in 1 year. I also managed to make thousands off affiliate marketing from that same blog!

I made 6-figures selling on Poshmark. Six figures on other platforms such as Tradesy, Mercari, Curtsy, Thred Up Luxe, Ebay.

I named and trademarked my business, “Business Betch”. A slang cussword…. because in a sea of sameness… why not stand out? Why not be your true unique self?

And this is the catalyst to the start of my entrepreneurial journey...

From the outside it looked like I was happy. Yet, I was so miserable. I spent six years lying to myself…

I was burnt out. I was sleeping 4 – 5 hours a night, I wasn’t taking care of my health, I was working my butt off for someone else’s benefit. A heartless company profited from my hard labor as they sucked the energy out of me. 

Most of us don’t realize that we are lying to ourselves on a daily basis, by mindlessly continuing our day to day routine. We don’t listen to our gut instinct. When something FEELS wrong … IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE WRONG. 

That feeling at the back of your neck or between your shoulder bones, the bad taste in your mouth, that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. Feelings of dread. I woke up having these feelings every morning. I wasn’t LISTENING to my inner voice telling me something was wrong. That life wasn’t supposed to be like this…

What the hell was I thinking? I clearly wasn’t happy.

The problem was complacency. I was afraid of change. A “9 to 5” was all I had ever known.

I believed I was destined to follow the same exact path as my parents and be a slave to a 9 to 5. I didn't think I had what it took to start a business...that being handcuffed to a corporate 9 to 5 was...what I was supposed to do....

Then I came to realize this…. 

When you work for someone else, you are dispensable no matter how experienced and knowledgeable you are. All your hard work and energy is going to line someone else’s pocket.  

Having your own business and working for yourself allows you to reap all the rewards earned by all your energy and hard work. The success is all yours to enjoy.

Does this sound like you?

My mission is to inspire others to turn their passion into a fulfilling business instead of working just to live. Life is meant to be LIVED.

Let me ask you this question: If you were to die tomorrow, would you feel fulfilled? Did you accomplish everything you wanted to in your life? Did you make a difference in someone else’s life? ( Gettin’ deep here!).

These were the questions that changed my life. I realized I WAS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I was doing the whole “9 to 5” repetitive sh*t everyday but I was letting work take over my personal life as well. My “free” time was all about work. I was not LIVING… I was WORKING my life away. 

We spend an average of 90,000 hours in our lifetime working at a job that most of us aren’t passionate about. The search for purpose or passion is stuck on the back burner. And that’s a BIG problem.

We need to break out of complacency by embracing change.  

I want this website to be your go-to place. I don’t want entrepreneurship to be just another dream, or one of those “some day” thoughts. I want you to tell that inner voice of self doubt to STFU..

And by showing you some of my top blog posts...

By giving you a couple of tips before you start your entrepreneurial journey....

Yes! It’s possible…. BUT…..Only YOU can take the action needed to accomplish your goals. 

YOU have the answers inside of YOU. 

YOU are the only one who is capable of turning your passion into a business that supports you not only financially, but mentally and emotionally as well.

All I can say is that it is possible to merge passion with business because I’VE DONE IT. I surround myself with others who have started businesses as well. The main ingredients are drive, dedication, determination, grit, and YOU. But you also need to have a good support system in place.

That’s up to you. I’m not going to feed you lies. 

Not unless there’s a exact carbon copy of YOU.

There’s always going to be competition but the beauty of starting your own business is that it involves YOU. What differentiates your business from others is YOU. You can start a business on the same subject but have a completely different approach than your competition. It’s all about the vehicle in which you deliver the information.

One customer might choose your business or your blog over another because they feel they can relate to YOU and what you stand for.

When it comes down to it.. it’s YOUR VOICE. You are YOU and no one can replicate YOU. No one has the same voice as YOU. 

Woah. That’s a lot of “YOU”. But moral of my long-ass story is that your voice is more important than you think. 

What is your expertise? What do people come to you for? What do you read about or research in your spare time? What interests you? Does this business idea align with your values? And most importantly what are you PASSIONATE about? 

Don’t choose something just because there may be more money in it. People can smell BS, and also SEE passion radiate. Chasing money only lasts so long. But passion is what keeps you driven.

Let me ask you this: 

If you are about to climb the Mt. Everest, which will get you to the top?

Passion & Persistence

Skill & experience

Answer: ALL are needed. 

So, what about money? Will that get you to the top? NO. Money is just simply money.

When passion, persistence, skill, and experience align with your values. 

Many fall into the trap of allowing skill and experience to filter out new opportunities and ideas. Relying solely on skill and experience can be a barrier to your forward progress as an entrepreneur. 

Passion is what keeps you moving. Skills and expertise can be developed. Passion is what motivates you to build up expertise in a certain area. Passion will allow you to compete consistently and scale your business.

 Passion feels like a spark, a flame. Almost like you had a significant amount of caffeine ( but not to the point where you’re getting all shaky). It feels like you’re about to vomit rainbows. It might even be something that you are eager to talk about or something you constantly talk about (and it annoys your friends and family members to death). At least that’s how passion feels to me.

You can always build up expertise / skills if you lack it in a certain field but you can’t force yourself to be passionate about something. Passion is what comes naturally within. 

Your values are what you live by, they are simply the things that are important to you. By keeping your personal, professional, and social values balanced, you will continue to grow your business. 

Starting a business tests you in so many ways. It tests your relationships, your strengths, your motivation levels. 

Entrepreneurship will take you and your emotions on a pretty intense roller coaster ride called the “entrepreneurial funk”. 

Many entrepreneurs deal with self-limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, self-doubt, analysis paralysis, comparison paralysis, perfectionism, and so much more. There are so many roadblocks when it comes to entrepreneurship which is why it’s important to invest in developing a strong mindset before jumping in entrepreneurship head first. You need to be able to recognize when feelings from past, present, or future surface and interfere with your ability to carry out your vision. 

The learning never stops when you’re an entrepreneur. What sets a successful entrepreneur apart from a failing business is the willingness to invest in themselves and pursue lifelong learning.
