I was able to walk away from my teaching career the day my son was born and was making as much income in my freelancing business as I was in my job. Are you ready for that type of financial freedom so you can work a business at home with your kids being present for all those moments that actually matter? I’m here to walk you through step-by-step how I personally grew my freelancing business to a consistent 4-figure a month profit. This is for you if you are looking for the secrets to take your service-based business next level.

Each week, I will be sharing business strategy, systems and tactical tips that you can take and implement into your business today so you can finally step into that CEO role you desire and have the financial freedom you crave. In addition to sharing my proven system that helped me launch and scale my own super successful freelancing business, I will interview others who are the best in their signature service so they can share their secrets on how to scale your business to new heights.

    Preparing for the Summer as a Freelancer Jun 05, 2023

    Join me for today’s episode as we talk about: prepping for summer as a business owner. While it's important to enjoy the summer, there are still things you can do to make the most of this time. Here are a few summer Biz to-do’s…

    • Clean up your back end: Use this time to organize and streamline your business systems. Implement new systems if needed and ensure everything is running smoothly. Take a look at your onboarding process, client communication, and any unused programs or subscriptions that can be canceled or put on hold.
    • Reach out to previous clients: If you're feeling uncertain about finding new clients or experiencing a slow period, reach out to previous clients! Offer your services in a creative way, such as a limited-time project or a special incentive. You never know if they might need support or if they can refer you to someone else.
    • Evaluate and update your packages: Take a closer look at the packages you offer. Are there any services you no longer enjoy or that aren't in high demand? Consider removing or revamping them. This is also a good time to assess your pricing and make adjustments if necessary.

    Mom’s Exit Interview with Former Netflix Exec Kim Rittberg Jul 18, 2022

    Why are you here, listening to this podcast? I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’ve had a moment in your life that you felt that you wanted more. More freedom, more income, more passion, more happiness, etc. I would LOVE to hear the story of your defining moment.

    Whether you’ve had the full epiphany and are knee-deep in freelancing or you’re just testing the waters checking things out to see if this is right. This is your sign, this can be your defining moment, and if it is - you had better send me a DM on Instagram and tell me!

    Today we get to chat with a woman with all the stories including training celebrities how to be on camera. What?! We’re in a world of video now, so let’s get with the times and soak in all of Kim’s wisdom.

    Capping off a 15 year career in TV news and digital (at Fox, Netflix, PopSugar), Kim Rittberg launched and ran the video unit for Us Weekly, overseeing an 18 person team…until her parent company was purchased. She found herself trying to salvage what she had worked so hard for, all from the hospital with an IV in her arm as she delivered her second child. While Kim still had her executive job, she lost her desire to be in corporate America. Kim launched her own company, which offers video and content strategy and media training. However her path to entrepreneurship was riddled with questions and anxieties, thus giving birth to the MOM’S EXIT INTERVIEW podcast which aims to inspire and educate moms seeking fulfillment outside the traditional 9-to-5.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Kim’s story of having her dream job to creating her dream life
    • What moms across the country are saying about their jobs in & out of the house

    Juliana believes that if something in your life doesn’t make you happy, you have the power to change it. She believes we are not meant to suffer nor should we accept that as our destiny.⁣And today, Juliana is on a mission to teach other mamas how to launch and grow successful Amazon stores and Etsy shops, so they too can earn income from home WHILE taking care of their kids.

Now with 2 years of extensive experience with Dubsado, and after dozens of setups, she has created a Dubsado course to help busy mommas set up their Dubsado accounts from start to finish.

    Scaling Your Freelancing Business with VIP Days with Courtney Ibinger Nov 04, 2020

    Looking to scale your business but don't want to be working #allthehours? That's where our guest, Courtney Ibinger, was just a little while ago and she decided it was time to change up her offerings and decided to add day rates into her business. Now, she offers solely half day and full day rates to her clients and she is going to break down what that looks like for her, how she was able to make the shift, what type of clients are a good fit for this business model and so much more!

She grew up in Wisconsin, so she'll always be a midwesterner at heart, but now she calls Greenville, South Carolina home. Her favorite things in life are family trips to explore new places, iced tea with lemonade, and the excitement of helping a client set up their online course or membership.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • How Courtney got started with freelancing
    • When Courtney decided it was time to narrow in on what services she was offering
    • How she started incorporating day rates into her business
    • What day rates/intensives/VIP days are

    3 Strategies to Grow Your Business While Working Full Time with Holly Haynes Sep 30, 2020

    Do you feel stretched for time? Maybe you're juggling all the things right now... mom life, your house, your full time job and building a business... and you're just not sure how to make it all work and fit everything in. I know this is a big struggle for a lot of my listeners which is why I asked my friend Holly Haynes to come on the podcast and share her strategies of how she was able to build the business while working full time. She still works at her 9-5 and has a successful business, so if she can do it, so can you!

    Holly is crazy passionate teaching women how to build a side hustle without sacrificing weekends and their priorities! She believes strongly that you can create a routine you love and with the right tools create a lifestyle that works without burnout!

    She started her first coaching business in network marketing when her twins were 18 months old while working full time. She was excited to start something she was passionate about but overwhelmed with how to make progress in small pockets of time. The traditional methods of working 3-4 hours a day in blocks of time didn't work for her so she created a system and strategy that works and used that to build her strategic coaching business that exists today! In her spare time, you can find her chatting biz strategy on her podcast, all things wellness (gotta keep that energy up) and raising her twins!

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Holly's journey to entrepreneurship
    • Her 3 strategies for building a business while working full time
    • Her biggest piece of advice for busy moms who are trying to grow their online business

    Is your client onboarding process on point?! Today, I am bringing on the wonderful Kristen Westcott to discuss how we can automate our client experience so our clients feel at eased and impressed with our business process. We're also going to talk about how to uplevel your communication and lead in a way that provides clarity and confidence to your clients in an ongoing capacity and how to WOW the client with a lasting impression during offboarding that generates repeat business and referrals.

    Kristen Westcott is a business growth strategist and founder of Kristen Westcott Media (www.kristenwestcottmedia.com) who has spent the last decade in the legal and education fields supporting leaders and students in the areas of goal setting, productivity and project management. After recognizing her true passion lies in serving entrepreneurs, Kristen honed her skills as a Director of Operations. She quickly noticed that what was holding many business owners back wasn’t a lack of drive or ability, but a lack of foundational systems that could support the day-to-day operations of a scaling business. These days, she spends her time helping online coaches, copywriters and course creators scale without the frustration that massive growth often brings.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • How Kristen got started in the online space

    Using Your Website to Sell Your Services with Jessica Skelton Apr 27, 2020

    As service providers, we want to make sure that our website is attracting clients who will eventually lead to paying customers. But what does our website need to have a service provider? Do we even need a website? Do we need to have #allthethings on our website?

Jessica shares her knowledge on what your website should have, the most important place on your website, how you get those clients to book more calls with you, and so much more. Jessica is so incredibly knowledgable and someone who I go to on a regular basis to bounce ideas of off and she always provides the best advice so bringing her on the podcast to share about her area of expertise was a no brainer. Plus, she gives us an inside look into how she scaled her business from offering all the services under the sun to niching down to web design!

    Welcome to a brand new episode of the new and improved Mom with Purpose podcast. I have been working hard behind the scenes as I make the shift to speak directly to the MOM who is growing her service-based business with PURPOSE!

    In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing 3 ways you can really get clear on the type of client you want to work with in order to start attracting more clients into your service-based business. When I was first starting out in my business, I would work with anyone that would hire me, but it wasn't until I got specific on WHO I was going to work with that my business really took off! It may seem a little counterintuitive, but trust me, this system works!

    BONUS! Tomorrow's Not Guaranteed - Start Living TODAY! Jan 30, 2020

    I have been trying to record this episode since this podcast launched. I have been nervous, hesitant and emotional about having to bring up some personal things that have happened in my life but with everything that has happened this past week in the world, it gave me the courage to finally press record.

    What I have learned from my grief and the grief of losing someone so close is that tomorrow is not guaranteed. We cannot wait for tomorrow because as we saw plastered across the news, we can't count on the luxury of getting home safely.

    This has been an extremely hard episode to record, but it has been very therapeutic for me to do it. I hope if you're been thinking "I'll start that new thing next year..." lately, that this episode will encourage you to just START TODAY.

    Are You Committed to Your Excuses or Your Growth? Nov 04, 2019

    Are you more committed to your excuses or your growth? I think initially many people want to say “well of course, my growth” I want to grow, I want to change, I want something different for myself. But what I have found is that people will say they want something, whether that is a new job, to be healthier, to do more personal development, to make time to xyz, but their actions do not match what their words are saying.

    I'm breaking it down today and I might be calling some of you out, but with kind heart of course! I needed this one too because we can let our excuses weigh us down and if we're not careful, we can carry them on our back and let them keep us away from our growth! I'm going to give you a language shift that will completely change how you make commitments to yourself. This is a juicy one so you don't want to miss it!
