2016 was the year I started my side hustle.

After two years working as a paralegal, being accepted into law school, and having assumed law school was my path, I suddenly decided to do something else.

I had seen the power of blogging from Pinterest, and social media was blowing up into what we know it as today.

The idea of having an online business was hugely motivating to me. For the first time, it felt like the life I dreamed of having in New York City, one with abundance, financial freedom, and freedom of my time to actually enjoy the city, was possible.

To say I had no idea what I was doing is an understatement.

But I knew that I had big dreams for my life and future, and that law school sounded soul sucking.

So I took a risk and started a website. And for two long years, I had nothing to show for it...

2018 was the most transformative year of my life.

It was NOT the best year of my life. In fact, it was one of the worst. It was the year I shockingly lost my beloved dad.

But his passing lit a fire under me, making me realize how short and precious life really is.

This was the year I finally went all in, and everything changed. I worked tirelessly on my business, investing all my time and money into figuring out what I needed to do to make it work.

By the end, I was self employed (this photo is from my last at my 9-5 job) and had my first five-figure month.

Everything I did this year to get this result is what I put into Scale Your Side Hustle®. If you want this year to be your "before vs. after" year, this is for you.

By 2020, my entire life had transformed from the girl that started a side hustle.

Just 2-3 years after I made the fateful, energetic decision to go all in, I:

Had my first six-figures sales month (2 that year!)
Paid off my student loans in a single lump sum, years ahead of schedule
Paid off all the business credit card debt I had gone in
Paid for my honeymoon to Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Thailand with cash

All of this happened because I chose to believe in myself and believe that there was more out there for me than a corporate job at a cubicle with a limited paycheck.

You have the option to make that some choice!

In late 2021, I became a mother when my oldest beautiful son was born.

After years of watching entrepreneurship create a life of freedom and travel for me, it pivoted to shifting me in completely different but just as powerful of ways. By 2022, I:

Had crossed my first seven-figure sales year
Saved up for my own maternity leave, including a night nurse
Became the breadwinner in my marriage
Purchase our first investment property
Moved my family to a corner two-bedroom apartment right on Central Park in NYC

My experience as a mother and in New York City (my dream) has been completely defined by my business.

This is about so much more than a business itself and the money you can make. It's about your life!

8 years after I started my "for fun" side hustle and I'm grateful daily that I did.

My life isn't perfect, but it's completely mine by design, which is something I could've only dreamed of.

Today, my business has allowed me to:

Let go of my nanny to be with my sons full time
Fund a second maternity leave
Send my toddler to private school in NYC
Contribute/ max out our HSA, Roth IRAs, 529s, 401(k)s and
Raise two children in the heart of NYC

Your dream life might not look a thing like mine.

You might have entirely different dreams for your lifestyle, travels, family and beyond.

My story is just to show you that your vision, no matter how outlandish, IS possible.

May 2016- Started my website

I saved up for about two weeks to purchased a $50 Ebook on starting a WordPress blog. Woke up an extra hour early before my paralegal job to buy it and implement it. I was so excited!

June 2016- Moved to Southeast Asia

Declined my acceptances from law school. Realized that I no longer saw the point in working as a paralegal if my legal career was a dead end, so I quit my job and bought a one-way ticket to Cambodia. I stayed there for four months working on my website, freelance writing, and traveling. This is where I first started learning about making money online, but I felt like everyone was further ahead than I was...

May 2017- Hired a blogging coach

Felt that my blog wasn’t taking off so I hired a mentor. Maybe you know that same frustration? She taught me how to make my first digital product and we mapped out a launch plan.

November 2017- Barcelona

One of the most pivotal moments in my life. It was during this trip that I first truly experienced the reality and possibility of passive income- making money online while traveling. I was hooked and came back to the USA more determined than ever to quit my job by NYE 2019. I gave myself a year.

March 2018- Tragedy- I lost my father

Tragedy struck. I suddenly lost my beloved father out of the blue and in many ways I felt paralyzed for months. However, this motivated me to play a much bigger game and put myself out there more. It was the “in my face” proof that life is short. I decided that I could not wait until NYE to leave my job and would no longer sell myself short. So, I set the timeline to resign in six months.

March 2018- I started a year-long entrepreneurship program

In light of my new timeline and my refusal to ever play small again, I started a year-long entrepreneurship program. It was a $5,000 that I did not have and had to put on a credit card.

May 2018- I launched Scale Your Side Hustle®

Created what would become one of my best programs to date, Scale Your Side Hustle®, based on the success I had experienced while traveling in Spain and the previous year making $1,000+ per month from my side hustle.

This program went on to helps dozens of ambitious side hustlers start successful side hustles, launch their businesses, and leave their 9-5 jobs to work for themselves.

August 2018- 9-5 salary surpassed my side hustle

Four months after my dad passed away and I began making more from my side hustle than I was from my day job ($4,000 and up per month!)

September 2018- I resign

Like clockwork, six months after my dad’s tragic passing, I was able to resign. I had spent the last six months working night and day on my business, getting up at the crack of dawn and not going out on weekends. My salary had surpassed my day job income and I was ready to fly.

November 2018- My first five-figure month

Turns out any rumors about self-employment being financially risky weren’t turning up for me! I started making five-figures per month and it didn’t stop.

May 2019- Hit six-figures while 26 years old!

Hit six-figures in under 11 months while 26 years old.

August 2019- My first $30,000 cash month

Knocked my own socks off with a $30k+ month two months out from my wedding- talk about one of the busiest but BEST times of my life.

March 2021- Our team expands

My sister was promoted to being a fellow coach in the business after working with so many of our clients itself. We hired two new roles to come into the business.

April 2021- I became pregnant

My life changed forever when I found out that my husband and I were expecting our first baby!

August 2021- Hit seven figures

Celebrated our first SEVEN-figure sales year in the world's most beautiful city... Paris!

November 2021- Became a mom

My sweet baby boy was born on Thanksgiving in November 2021, starting a maternity leave I was able to take, and entire new lifestyle, that were all thanks to my own business.

Create a side business that is completely your own. You know that you're not pouring everything into someone elses dream or vision, but are investing in YOU.
Transform your financial reality. Be the one that is ahead of their financial goals, no longer live on one paycheck, and with an unlimited amount of income potential.
Sell with confidence and ease. Let go of a fear of being salesly and no longer wonder where to find clients or customers.
Impact the lives of others. Your business is not just about your success, it's also about the difference you can make by getting out there. But that won't happen unless you step it up.
Make thousands of dollars a month. That means more from your side hustle than your day job. Double income!
Enjoy a community. You're not meant to do this alone! Imagine having a community of like-minded and supportive side hustlers and entrepreneurs in your corner.
Design your life. The truth is that side hustling isn't just about money, it's about filling in all the blanks of your life and creating the reality you most desire.

Abby Gervais

Abby is the head coach at Team LG. She's worked with side hustlers and full-time entrepreneurs to move out of their own way and take massive action, and since joining Team LG, she helped the business 5x its revenue. She has supported our clients on her own for over a year and is masterful with mindset work.

Abby has supported the clients in Scale Your Side Hustle® for years. Take advantage of her wealth of knowledge!

Abby will host two Q&A calls per month in 2024 and will manage the Slack channel.

Like-Minded Entrepreneurs

A group program will provide you with the peer support that will make all the difference in you achieving your goals. I know what it's like to share my income and impact dreams to my friends and family, only from them to respond in a not understanding or not supportive way. Not exactly the support needed to make my dreams come true!
When you're going for your dreams, pursuing entrepreneurship, shifting your life and transforming your financial reality, it's extremely important to surround yourself with support, positivity, compassion and understanding.
You'll feel the benefit of a group throughout the entire program. From the peer calls where you can learn from one another, in the Slack group where you can support each other, while still benefiting from individualized support as this is not a large group program.

A Coach and Mentor

One of the most surefire ways to grow your business, your income, and reach your goals is by learning from people who have already achieved them! This seems obvious, yet so many resist from reaching out for help or investing in themselves with mentorship or coaching.
Our team of coaches completely understand feeling careful with where you invest, and encourage you to do so! But, in my experience, the times when I didn't hire help and tried to figure things out myself ending up costing me a lot more time and money than if I had just gotten help.
This program is going to walk you through everything I've learned in building a business around my day job, generating consistent passive income, and creating a scalable platform that allows me to make me more money than I do at my day job! Learn in these 90 days what took me years to learn!

“During the program I had unwavering support through a successful product launch, and since completing the program I have doubled my email list subscribers and monthly income. It gave me the discipline to work diligently on a different part of my business every week, and the knowledge and tools I need to scale upwards in ways I hadn’t even thought of before. The group of motivated like-minded women made me look forward to our weekly calls, not to mention they were total boss babes who pushed me to be a better version of myself. Leah was open, attentive, and supportive throughout it all - she truly wants to see you succeed and gives you an action plan to get to where you want to be. I highly recommend this program and you WILL make your investment back. Cannot thank you enough Leah!" - Danielle, the WanderLover

I started my business as a for fun blog in 2016. I had no idea that in two years, it would go from creative side hustle, to a full side business that earns six-figures per MONTH.

In building my website and business, I have tried everything under the sun, and I know what works. I am now an email marketing expert and spend my days supporting entrepreneurs in success mindset.

And I know this:

You DO have enough time, even with a 9-5.
Your idea IS good enough, it just needs structure.
You CAN monetize to make more than your day job.
You DEFINITELY DO NOT need to do this alone.

That's just what this program is here for!

"Before Scale Your Side Hustle®, I was throwing things at the wall to see if it would stick, but wasn't truly able to figure out how to build my own business. I signed up for some other courses, but found without the structure, coaching, and network that I was having a hard time applying it. After this program, my outlook on my business changed.If you are thinking about Scale Your Side Hustle® to figure out how to turn a side hobby into a business, this is your program! Leah's guidance & the group will get you into gear with your business!"

- Kristie Lee, Travel Agent

"I started my business from scratch. I didn't even have an idea before the program started and now I have 5 paying clients that would like to continue with me even after their program is over! I now know that there are no limits to my income or what I can do with my own business. I am also so humbled by the support from my family and friends that I did not expect to receive, as well as the support system I have gained through the other women in the Scale Your Side Hustle® cohort."

- Olivia Whalen, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach

Don't become another failed side hustle...

Here are the most common reasons why:

1. Do you understand marketing?

It doesn't matter if you have the best product or service in the world. If your audience doesn't know about it, it won't sell, and you won't make money. You must have a clear understanding of your customer journey and sales process to make this work sustainability. We teach this!

2. How committed are you?

One of the reasons I almost failed, and didn't make money for two years was because I was doing this: working half in and half out. I was constantly stopping myself from getting support, putting myself out there, or selling because I never felt ready. This lukewarm commitment level is why I didn't get results!

3. Are you willing to imperfectly try?

No one has all the answers when they start. They might not have clarity on their niche or even what they want to offer. They vision might not even be fully formed. But they believe this is worth pursuing and start anyway. Don't let the illusion of perfection keep you stuck.

"I came into the program with a business idea and walked out of it with a coaching business. I am beyond grateful to finally have the business I have been planning for 2 years! It blows my mind that if I had made the decision to join Scale Your Side Hustle® sooner, I would be lightyears ahead now. I not only have a business now, but I am gaining confidence in pursuing leads! (I’ve never sold anything before) And to top it off, I wrote my first article contribution as a career coach while in Scale Your Side Hustle®."

Mariana Cruz, Career Coach for STEAM women

"Before starting this program, I was still in my 9-5 with EVERY desire to get out. I had credit card debt, and I felt like I was lacking direction...
I have learned how to create a business around what my ideal client wants, instead of selling them what I think they need. With that, I have a business I can scale, and options to help clients in various capacities. I officially turned in my two weeks today, and I am going to start actually living the life I want to live--instead of just talking about it!"

- Olivia Talley, Dating Coach

"I started Leah’s Scale Your Side Hustle® with a domain name and idea for a side business and not much else. I knew my earning potential was so much more than my great 9-5 sales job, and I wanted to see what I could do with the right tools and a mentor.

I was not prepared for what 90 days in this program would yield. Between modules, the support of peers and Leah in the Facebook group and the accountability of a weekly call with personalised support, I discovered a drive I didn’t know I had. I built a roadmap and exceeded all my goals in my second month in business: 10+ discovery calls, 4 clients, over $2K in sales, 2 digital products, 200 professional pictures taken and over 1,000 on my email list. The program has set me up to completely change my life.

If you’re considering seriously doing a side hustle, don’t venture into it alone. Untap your potential and create a career by investing in yourself."

"Working with Leah was a game changer and the best thing that happen to me this year! From our first phone talk I was convinced that Leah would deliver exactly what I needed: meaning a strategic plan in order to create my online business while still having a 9 to 5 job. I have never met such a driven, positive and well organize entrepreneur women!

Every module of Scale Your Side Hustle® is packed with valuable information and enabled me to reflect and find solutions by myself. Every week, I was looked forward to our group call because I knew I would learn even more and be able to ask her direct questions regarding my struggles and be sure that she would put me back on track and motivate me. The whole course was life changing and really empowering.

If you are lost and need precise guidance on how to set up a profitable side or even main hustle, and need someone who will show you the way and empower you along the way, Leah is THE coach you need!"

She took Scale Your Side Hustle® with a beginner website, an new Instagram account, and a dream to leave her 9-5 job and travel full-time.

By the end of the year, she had done just that. She had launched an email list, group programs, and quit her job. She spent six months this year traveling throughout South America and growing her droolworthy Instagram (@Ines_Schubi) and working for herself.

To say her life transformed in a year is an understatement! It's been amazing to see this amazing girl flourish.

#1. Is there a guarantee?

If you go through the program and implement it all, you will see results in your side hustle success. Guaranteed. We, obviously, can’t guarantee a certain income level, as so much of your success will depend on how much effort you put into the program. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.

If you implement the information in the program and, for any reason, do not see the results, contact us at help@leahgervais.com and we will be more than happy to help you.

#2. Do I need to have my side hustle idea formulated before I invest?

You don’t. All you need to know about your side hustle idea is that you want it to be online and scale-able. The program has an entire module that helps you fine-tune your niche, mission statement, and offerings. Additionally, every single business will change with time. Even if you go into this program with a laminated mission statement, it will change. So the best thing you can do is start early!

#4. I have a demanding 9-5 job. How much time does this take?

I recommend spending about 2-4 hours on each module, between working through the workbooks and implementation. You can do one module a week and see results. This may take some sacrifice, but that’s what weeds out the successful vs. those who never go for their dreams.

#5. I already have a side hustle. How will this help me?

That’s wonderful! If you aren’t making thousands per month from your side hustle yet, this program can help show you how to do that. If you’re sick of spending hours on social media with no results, selling $50 products that don’t move the needle, freelancing, or blogging with no results, this program will get you on track.

#6. Where is coaching done?

All coaching will be done exclusively through the program channels: our Facebook group and our group coaching calls.

There will be no coaching done through Instagram message, FB message, direct messages, direct emails, or any other channel not within the program channels listed above.

For anything else other than coaching, such as tech questions, call replays, logistics, payments, or any other questions, please contact us at help@leahgervais.com.

#7. Will this actually work for me?

If you’re feeling hopeful but skeptical at this point, you’re just like the several successful alumni of Scale Your Side Hustle®. Many had skepticism about actually being able to start their business and change their life. And yet, today they are on the other side. Self-employed and running their businesses. I too was skeptical when I started my business and invested in a program, but that actually propelled me more to prove my belief in myself right.

"Every week you see your side hustle grow, one step at a time"

"Scale Your Side Hustle® was wonderful. It is full of content! Every week something new. Every week you find yourself growing in your side hustle one step at a time. On the group calls, you get to talk to her one on one and your classmates can listen too. The Facebook group is awesome as well. My favorite part... a small classroom. I liked this because you still have the opportunity to stand out in the crowd and have other’s opinions too. My classmates are awesome people as well. We are in different parts of the world. We help and encourage one another. We were all on the same journey with making our side hustles great. We even all had a variety of different side hustles. How awesome is that? One course that is applicable to any side hustle! I had my tough times though figuring out my website or making decisions. Nothing that Leah couldn’t help me figure out. Thank you, Leah!" - Erica Terry, Graphic Designer

"My subscriber list doubled!"

"I wanted to grow, nurture, and communicate on a more regular basis with my target audience. I knew I could do the research and learn how to do this on my own, but I also knew that if I worked with a business coach, I could do it faster. And after a brief introductory phone call, I knew Leah had the knowledge and experience I was looking for. Since working with her, my subscriber list has almost doubled. I have more active communication with people on my Facebook business page. I am more confident in my ability to create and mange Facebook ads, write sales copy. I can now also find my way around Mail Chimp much more easily. Leah is professional, proactive, and prompt; energetic and friendly. She pushed and listened in equal measure, always seeming to know which one I needed. Her passion for entrepreneurship and her excitement about sharing her experience so that her clients have an easier, quicker road to success drives her daily. She is an entrepreneur with a quick mind and a big heart who cares about building community and success beyond her own."
