Feeling forced to choose between developing himself or his career, but having no way to combine the two, he came up with an idea.

Side Hustle, 9 - 5, Entrepreneur featuring Tameka Vasquez
Predefined notions
Entrepreneurship is a journey, and taking breaks along the way is required. In this episode, I talk with Tameka Vasquez about her journey as an entrepreneur and her most recent decision to go back to the corporate world for a while. Everyone talks about the freedoms that come from “being your own boss” but don’t really talk about how inconsistent that can be, how we trade 40 hour work weeks for 80 hour work weeks. Taking a break from being your own boss to make an impact in a company is sometimes looked at as “entrepreneurial failure” when, in reality doing this can create more entrepreneurial opportunities for the future. Tune in to hear our take and advice about working for others and working for yourself.
