Jacqueline Snyder
About this episode

Welcome to another episode of Just Jacq, Product Bosses! We hope you're making the most of your summer. Today, we're taking a different turn. We usually discuss transitioning from your full-time job to becoming a full-time product boss. But, let's flip the script today and talk about how you can maintain your full-time job while growing your product-based business.

This may seem challenging because, as product bosses, we crave control over our time and freedom in our creativity. Often, we feel shackled by our '9 to 5' jobs and the dream is to break free. But, there's another perspective worth considering.

A day job offers financial stability, pays for essentials such as medical insurance, and contributes to retirement plans. It's also the perfect opportunity to validate your business idea. So, instead of constantly thinking about how to escape your full-time job, can we shift our mindset? Let's explore how you can use the safety net of your full-time job to test, validate, and grow your business idea.

Join us as we delve into three strategies that will help you maintain your full-time job while growing your product-based business.
