Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋 |
Having one job? In this economy? Kinda risky, tbh. You’ve probably heard the term “portfolio career” floating around the internet. Well, today’s new Ambition 2.0 episode is all about why it might be the future of work—and how to build one for yourself. Our guest Anna Mackenzie flew all the way from Australia to explain, so go show her episode some love. 😉 |
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack: |
|
💼 Job of the day: Anthropologie is hiring a Senior Manager of Social Media Content to lead social-first storytelling. If you have a sharp POV on fashion, style, and digital culture, this is your chance to shape how one of the most beloved lifestyle brands shows up online. How cool! |

Portfolio Careers: How to Build Multiple Income Streams with Anna Mackenzie | Ambition 2.0 |
|
|
| ❝ |
| |
“How do I have the freedom and the flexibility to choose who I work with, when I work, what I work on, what I earn?” |
| |
| — Anna Mackenzie |
|
|
What if "having it all" didn't mean climbing a single corporate ladder 🪜 but building a whole web of work that fits your real life? 🕸️ An ecosystem of offers, clients, and projects fueled by your network and reputation, where you can tap into different opportunities at different seasons of life. |
This week, host Amanda Goetz sits down with Anna Mackenzie, a startup advisor, writer, and author of the newsletter Anna Mack’s Stack, who traded the corporate dream for a self-designed portfolio career. |
They get into how to diversify your income, why articulating your value is harder (and more important) than selling it, and how to start building on the side without burning out or quitting your day job. |
From the sunk cost fallacy that keeps you stuck to the 30-minutes-a-day rule that changed Anna's life, this episode is your friendly reminder to stop forcing your career into a straight line. |
Key Takeaways: |
A portfolio career is multidimensional and diversified by design—many income streams, projects, and identities at once. A full-time job can absolutely be part of a portfolio. It's not all-or-nothing. Your salary can fund the experimentation. Start building on the side before you leap. Ask past bosses and colleagues what you're good at. You can't always see your set of skills or offers clearly. Break big scary goals into the smallest achievable unit of effort—what Amanda calls the “KitKat” method. Structure your portfolio career around three tiers: core, secondary, and experimental income. You don't need a perfect strategy. Experiment your way to a plan. |
