From $35/Hr To 5-Figure Months: How I Did It (Part 1)
11/02/20 • 13 min
I’ve never had the opportunity to share my full story before, so this episode is super personal...
From the outside, it might look like I built a successful business overnight because within about a year (14 months to be exact), I went from charging $35 an hour for my copywriting services to selling $5k-10k packages and having my first 5-figure months. But there’s a whole lot more to the story.
In this episode, I share part one of my story, which is the backstory. I go into how I became a copywriter (Spoiler Alert: it wasn’t exactly on purpose) and what I did before I started my current business...including all the stops and starts and previous business failures.
If you love a good origin story like I do, this one’s for you!

How To Avoid Burnout As You Build Your Business
How To Avoid Burnout As You Build Your Business
With Holistic Nurse Practitioner & Health Coach Jaclyn Bacon
As women, we often take on a majority of the child care as well as the responsibilities associated with managing a household -- even as we’re hustling to build our businesses. On top of that, there’s a very real pressure to strive to be the perfect wife, mom, and #bossbabe (oh...and BTW...you should look FIERCE while we’re doing it!)
Unfortunately, some of us have learned the hard way that trying to do it all is a recipe for burnout.
In this episode, I chat with holistic nurse practitioner and health coach, Jaclyn Bacon about the impact chronic stress can have on your business and your personal life and how to recognize when you’re headed toward burnout.
Jaclyn stresses (no pun intended) the importance of simplicity and ease when it comes to self-care and shares some super practical tips for managing stress so you can grow your business without feeling like you’re in hustle mode 24/7.
