Elevate Ag the Podcast: How to Start Your Own Online Business with Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen

We all start somewhere. Every full-time business was once a side hustle, a startup or a part-time gig. Those late nights and early mornings where we are working completely exhausted because we are cramming all of our passions into any and every open moment of the day. These are draining times, but also exciting times. We’re building something new. Bringing our ideas to life and putting them out into the world for others to enjoy. But navigating this season can be hard; how do you manage working one job while building another one? How do you know when the time has come to go all in? These are some of the things we discuss on today's episode: Quitting to Six Figures w/ Natalie & Tara: Starting our Online Businesses

In this episode we cover:

  • Both Tara and Natalie’s backgrounds and journeys that got them where they are today

  • The mental, emotional, and logistical hurdles that were holding them back from making the leap and how they overcame them

  • What they learned about the value of going “all in”

Tips on How to Start Your Own Online Business

Tara and Natalie are deep diving into what each of their own journeys looked like leading up to launching Elevate Ag. A lot of the struggles that new business owners face include figuring out where to spend the bulk of their time. Tara and Natalie discuss what their transition looked like as they moved from their full-time, stable jobs to working full-time in their business. When starting a new online business, there is always some doubt and a little bit of imposter syndrome that may come with that. Below are some key points you should consider as you start your journey to starting your online business.

  • A pivotal point for Tara was thinking about where she wanted to spend her time. So a big takeaway from this episode is thinking about where you want to spend your time and energy.

  • Believe in what you are creating and that there is an audience that needs your product or service.

  • There’s no rush to go in all at one time, you can ease into starting a business by cutting back to part time or making money on the side while you figure out your business.
