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!

59. The Mid-Career IC Trap: Why Your Safest Position Is Actually Your Most Vulnerable
Here's a question that should make you uncomfortable: If your company needed to cut 20% of costs tomorrow, and you're a high-performing mid-career IC making over $170K, what structural power do you have to prevent your name from appearing on that spreadsheet? Not your performance. Not your value. Your structural power. The answer for most mid-career individual contributors is the same: absolute...
58. The Two Job Search Channels: Why 95% of People Are Playing the Wrong Game
Read time: 4 minutes | Forward to a friend   A recruiter friend admitted something to me recently that she was almost embarrassed to say out loud. She knows her company's ATS is rejecting qualified candidates - she sees it happen when people she knows personally get filtered out. But with 300+ applications per role, there's simply no way to review them all manually. The system is broken, she k...
57. Are You an Ant or a Honey Badger?
Read time: 5 minutes | Forward to a friend The Trail Off the Cliff Last month, I watched a former colleague celebrate their promotion to Senior Director. Big title. Bigger salary. Expanded responsibilities. But when I asked what excited them most about the role, they paused. "Honestly? I'm just glad I stayed on track." On track. Like they were following painted lines on a factory floor. When d...
