Episode 116: Interview With Side Hustle Coach and Top Network Marketing Professional Julie Ciardi

Who is Julie Ciardi??? So who am I? Well, I believe I am never done becoming who I am! None of us are. If we aren’t growing, we are stagnant, and I don’t know about you, but I never want to be stagnant. My journey was typical for the first 40 years of my life. Straight A, overachiever in high school, aced college, got the corporate job, got the MBA, got married and had kids. I found myself at the top of the corporate ladder as a vice president in a Fortune 500 company, and I wasn’t fulfilled. I did all the things I thought I was supposed to, but I missed the point of doing something with purpose and passion. But I was afraid, how do I leave a high paying corporate job to pursue my own thing? In 2016, I just decided to go for it. To take a chance. To face fear and discomfort and go for it. I started a side hustle while working full time as a marketing executive. And then in 2017 I made the LEAP. I left my corporate job to be the sole owner of a brick & mortar boutique that I took to 6 figures in less than 4 months. But I wasn’t done. I knew I had a bigger purpose. I started the More than Mommy Podcast in 2018 to help inspire other moms to take a chance, pursue things that light them up and to let go of guilt. The response was overwhelming! The moms wanted more. So, I became a certified life and business coach and started offering 1:1 coaching, courses and programs. I went on to sell my first business, my boutique, and expand my coaching practice to also support small business owners and entrepreneurs in their marketing strategies for their businesses. I firmly believe that marketing is the fuel that launches your business, grows revenue and creates loyal customers. But many small business owners are overwhelmed by marketing and often miss the most basic, simple ingredients to make their marketing powerfully impact their business. So helping mompreneurs and small business owners is my passion, and I also have a thriving network marketing business with EVER, a clean skin and makeup company. I have the most amazing team of mamas creating a fun, lucrative side business. I am also mama to three amazing kiddos and married to my hero, my police sergeant hubby.
