My guest today is Micala Quinn, host of the Live Free Podcast and the go-to person for teaching moms step-by-step how to build a profitable freelancing business from scratch.
I discovered Micala because my team member Laura, who’s a total mom boss herself, attended a one-day workshop with the host of the Boss Mom podcast Dana Malstaff, and Micala was mentioned in that workshop as someone who has seen massive success with her online business.
So I invited her on the podcast and find out exactly how she did it!
For you guys, of course, not for my own personal selfish reasons…
Micala and I talk about:
- How long it took her to get her first client and how she made it happen.
- How she replaced her income as a high school English teacher by working just 15 hours a week from home.
- How she made time for her business while working and being a mom.
- Exactly how she transformed her business model from one-to-one and is now on track to make $500,000 this year.
- The best advice Micala ever received from her business coach (that you can implement in your business too).
- The email marketing analytics that Micala pays the most attention to and why you should track your metrics too.
- Why you don’t need a website to get started making money online.
- Micala’s best advice for you if you’re struggling to get traction in your side hustle.
- The one belief Micala had to change about herself to get where she is today.
My favorite quotes from Micala:
- “You’ve got to build it as you go.”
- “The number one thing you can do is market and connect with those potential clients from the beginning.”
