Episode 30 - Are You Building a Hobby or a Business?

In this episode of The Digital Shift™, Jessica Green challenges entrepreneurs to take a hard look at how they’re showing up in their business. Are you operating like a hobbyist—winging it, posting when you remember, and manually following up… or are you building a real business with systems, strategy, and structure? Jessica breaks down the key differences between hobby energy and CEO-level execution—and what it actually takes to step into business ownership with confidence, automation, and a plan that scales.

“You can’t manifest consistency—you need a system. A real business isn’t built on vibes and guesswork.”

Who This Episode is For:

✅ Side-hustlers stuck in the ‘busy but broke’ cycle
 ✅ Entrepreneurs posting every day but seeing no sales
 ✅ Coaches, network marketers, or creators who want to treat this like a real business
✅ Anyone who needs a clear roadmap and automated systems to grow
