31. The 7 Pillars We Stand On

May 10, 2025

What we believe. What we teach. What we live.

 

Risk Free Side Huslte (rfsh.co) was built because I worked through every one of these pillars, the hard way. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on coaching and education. I’ve burned out, pivoted, quit, restarted, and failed forward more times than I can count.

And along the way, I learned something important:

It’s not about chasing one big idea or one perfect solution. It’s about getting clear on who you are, what you value, and how you want to live—then building around that.

That’s what we do at rfsh.co.

We don’t just help people launch side hustles. We help them reclaim control of their time, their voice, and their future.

This article is the beginning of a new series about the seven core pillars that guide everything we do. These are the areas we obsess over, because they’ve changed our lives, and we believe they can change yours too.

 

Introducing the seven core pillars:

  1. Professional Identity Ownership: Too many people tie their self-worth to a job title or employer. We help you take it back—and rebuild it based on who you really are.
  2. Layoff Culture Resilience: Today’s career landscape is unpredictable. This pillar helps you prepare, adapt, and protect your peace—so you’re never caught off guard again.
  3. Burnout, Overload & Life Balance: Hustle culture sold us the lie that burnout is a badge of honor. We’re flipping that script. Your energy, health, and relationships matter more.
  4. Risk-Free Intro to Entrepreneurship: You don’t need to quit your job to try something new. We believe in low-risk, high-growth experiments that build confidence and capability over time.
  5. Personal Brand & Creative Expression: Finding your voice isn’t just about visibility—it’s about alignment. We help you show up online in a way that’s true, powerful, and unmistakably you.
  6. Overcoming Fear, Doubt & Perfectionism: Most people don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail because they never start. This pillar is about the inner game: managing fear so action becomes possible.
  7. Money, Wealth & Autonomy: Wealth isn’t just about dollars—it’s about design. We help people define success on their terms, and build income streams that support a free life.

 

These are the conversations we believe everyone needs to have, because when you shift these seven areas, your entire life starts to feel more aligned, more powerful, and more yours.

Let’s dive in.

Join us for pillar 1, Professional Identity Ownership, in the next edition!

48. The Professional Who Never Stopped Thinking Like a Free Agent
Read time: 6 minutes | Forward to a friend    A former colleague texted me after getting laid off last week. But instead of panic, her message was almost... relieved? "I've been casually job searching for months," she said. "This just gave me permission to use all that preparation." How did we become so professionally dependent that getting fired feels like freedom?   The Problem: Emergency v...
47. The Employment Gap That Changed Everything
Read time: 6 minutes | Forward to a friend    The Moment Everything Clicked Last week, I learned of a former colleague who stumbled through explaining a 4-month gap to a hiring manager, apologizing for something that wasn't her fault. The shame in her voice hit me: we've been conditioned to see employment gaps as professional failures instead of what they actually are... proof that the system ...
46. The Spreadsheet Decision
Read time: 6 minutes  Last week, I watched another "restructuring announcement" trend on LinkedIn... thousands of professionals reduced to line items in someone else's quarterly adjustment. The responses were heartbreakingly predictable: shock, loyalty pledges, and promises that "this company is different." But here's what no one wants to admit: layoff culture isn't a temporary economic blip. ...
