Welcome to episode 198 of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers! Today’s episode is a really special one… I’m bringing you Bernadette Doyle, an online business expert who mentors her clients to build million-dollar businesses.
In Part 1 of our conversation, Bernadette and I get into:
- What Bernadette focused on first when she started her business that led her to building a million-dollar business.
- Why you don’t have to know what you’re going to sell to get started growing your online presence.
- Why taking action before you feel clarity is the most important thing you can do.
- How to generate an income when you’re not actually working.
- The biggest mistake (that I’m currently making) when it comes to passive income.
- The mindset shift Bernadette had to make to release herself from spending as many hours working.
- The best personal development Bernadette has ever done.
- The one thing to do before you take any action in your business.

And before I wrap this one up… I’m gonna get a little woo-woo here and say that I totally feel like it’s no accident that I’m having this conversation with Bernadette at this point in my business.
It was actually a transformational conversation for me.
And as I listened to Bernadette describe the mistakes most entrepreneurs make, I thought okay, I’ve done all of those things. I’m through that part. I’ve learned those lessons. Now I can move on to the next level.
And I always believed that I’d be able to grow my side hustle to the point where it would replace my day job income… and I accomplished that goal and I quit my day job on January 2, 2018…
But I never really set a new goal. I mean, I did set a monthly revenue goal that I talk about in my income reports, and I’ve been white-knuckling it to hit that every month…
But I never set a new “goal”, like, what’s next for me?
But it came to me clear as day after talking to Bernadette, and I’ll share it with you in Part 2. See you next time!
Bio:
Bernadette Doyle is a transformational expert and the founder of the Online Profits University, an online school that teaches entrepreneurs how to create new income streams. Her entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 26 where she was successfully trading her time for money and found herself overwhelmed and constantly hustling despite how successful she was. After the birth of her first son, Bernadette found that her own success had become an anchor. As the demands on her time grew, suddenly she needed a team and to house and manage that team. Her previous business model was simply unsustainable.
Soon after, Bernadette fully switched to an online model and soon found herself freed of her constraints. By packaging her expertise into products and online programs and connecting with customers by teleconference and webinar, she doubled her income in her first year as a new mother, all with time to spend with her family. By 2008, Bernadette had generated a million dollars in online sales and even masterminded personally with Richard Branson, all with the free time to be a single mother to her two children.
