I help entrepreneurs who want freedom, flexibility and financial security to SELECT, START & SUCCEED in home based business AND...

Own It. From Home.

Sounds great right... but where do you begin?

There are so many options and so little guidance. Until Now!

You love the idea of owning your own business and the freedom of being your own boss.

I‘ve been where you are... I walked from my corporate job to fulfill my life vision of working from home while being the best wife and mom I could be.

After 4 successful start ups, coaching 100's of entrepreneurs and presenting to 1000's of professionals, I put all of my best organizational tips and planning templates into one place.

Helping You Reach Your Next Level

You need help sorting through all of your business ideas

You want to figure out what type of business is best for you and how to launch it

You have your BIG IDEA ready to go but find yourself wondering how to get started

You are looking for some honest, upfront info- someone to be straight with you and guide you in your decisions

You know you need a plan but aren't sure how to put all the sales, marketing and operations pieces together

Unlock Your Full Potential. Say Hello to YOUR SUCCESS

Whether you have already started your home based business, or are in the process of launching... I can help you put in place the pieces you need to guarantee your success now and in the future.

I draw on my unique 20 year history in sales, marketing, PR, customer service and operations to teach you how to be the CEO of your life and business.

Coaching From the Heart

Imagine how it will feel to fulfill your life's vision

Too many coaches take the same cookie cutter approach, leaving you to wonder if they really care about helping you or are just after the next quick sale. Not on my watch.

My purpose is to help you fulfill the life of your dreams through entrepreneurship. I have been blessed with opportunity, travel, investments, relationships and success all because of saying yes to becoming my own boss.

Now, It's YOUR TURN!

Let's get deliberate about creating your path. You have VISION, are BRAVE and willing to GO FOR IT.

I want to tap into the inner voice that got you here and guide you as you cast the purposeful vision for your important work.

Proven Process, Customized for You

Vision Casting

What Is Business Coaching?

Who is Coaching For?

The business owner who wants greater results but isn't sure how to get there

The entrepreneur who has so many ideas and options but can't quite figure out how to put all of the pieces together

The social entrepreneur who has great content and following but lacks a solid plan for revenue growth

The coach or creator who is an expert in their field but freezes when it comes to marketing and promotion

The side hustle queen who longs to take her gig full time

Coaching is for the entrepreneur who KNOWS she has work to do, but isn't sure how to take the next step.

STOP WASTING VALUABLE TIME trying to figure it all out on your own!

Allow me to help you reach your next level.

Meet Meredith

Let me introduce myself. I’m Meredith Banka, founder of the Side Gig Gurus and literal life long entrepreneur. I started my first side gig at 15 so I could buy a car, and 18 months later with $5000 in my pocket I got that bright red Toyota Corolla… More importantly, I was hooked on making money from home.

I’ve been wherever you are on this journey….

I spent 7 years in sales and then 13 more as a Marketing VP- climbed the ladder from a $10/hr job as an executive assistant to a six figure income with bonuses and benefits. And once I got to the top.. the view just wasn’t for me. I wanted something different…. So I started my first business from home, on my own, without help.

For the last 10 years, I've helped entrepreneurs like you to create and implement the strategy, sales and marketing required to level up in the digital economy.
