#012: Samantha was making minimum wage working nights in retail. Last Christmas, she sold personal belongings to be able to afford gifts for her kids.
She and her husband kept their chins up, but it was tough.
But then Samantha stumbled across transcript proofreading, and everything changed.
She quit her job, had a four-figure week less than two months after launching her own business, and now she can do "little" things like take off on a hike with her kids whenever she wants.
You will be inspired by Samantha's incredible journey and the practical advice she has for you so you can turn your life around too.
