Date: Fri 27th Feb 2026
Time: 12:00 - 12:30
In this webinar, Kristal Baker tells you how to build time into your daily life so you can begin the steps of bringing your side hustle, start-up or new business to fruition – around your 9–5.
These steps also apply if you have childcare or other caring commitments during the day, which make carving out the time to start a business seemingly impossible.
Topics covered in this session
- Why it’s possible to get started, even if you believe you don’t have time
- Practical tips for creating this time in manageable, daily, bite-sized slots
- A first-hand, relatable example of what you can achieve if you implement these steps
About the speaker
Kristal is an advisor, a business founder and a public speaker who knows first-hand what it’s like to build a business before you feel ready.
Starting out as a new mother, alongside a 9–5, with no industry connections and no clear roadmap, Kristal grew her water brand Luxwells from an idea into an award-winning business, recognised by Vogue, Tatler, Harper’s Bazaar, The Guardian, Country Living, Radio Times and BBC Good Food.
Today, Kristal supports side-hustlers, first-time founders and early-stage entrepreneurs who want practical guidance from someone who has actually been in their position.
Through live workshops and courses, she breaks down the exact steps behind securing press coverage, approaching retailers, building confidence and transitioning out of a 9–5 – without a big budget or an insider network.
