My exit strategy has been to turn my side hustle into a full-time business. Now, I'm worried the economy won't be in my favor. Is this a terrible time to launch a new business or am I overthinking it?

I would keep doing both ( assume you are working with Citi still) use the stability of working at citi , and continue the side hustle . I am looking for a side hustle myself that compliments my stable Citi role .

No matter how stable or unstable the economy is, starting a new business will always be a risk. You have to have an insane amount of faith in order for it to have a chance at working

Is it possible to keep working at your current job and save up for a few months cushion while you get your business started?

There’s opportunity at all times even in recession, I say be aware of what’s going on and use it to your advantage as you start your own business 🎉

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

I've been working out since early 2020 6x/ week and lost ~30lbs. However, I didn't adjust my eating -only switched to an intermittent fasting schedule (eat between 12-8pm). Now, I'm trying to focus on better eating. I struggle with sweets - If it's around me, I need it all lol and Uber eats is a weakness bc of all the dessert places! My meals are relatively balanced so not a major issue...

I've heard of intuitive eating but sounds a bit fluffy (lol) - other tips? What has worked for you? Help!!

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
