Michael made $65,000 last year working 15 to 20 hours a week, after she clocked out of her full-time job. She is not quitting that job. The benefits are good, she loves the work, and I have never once told her she should leave. What she built is a full-time income on part-time hours, and she did it with an ugly proposal and five marketing minutes a day. In this Student Spotlight, Michael walks through the whole thing: the "expensive jobby" she was running before she learned ads, the exact 45-...

You are not doing too little. You’re doing too little of the right things. I work one-on-one with 60 people a week inside Strategist Society, I’ve got over 1,000 people in Conversions For Clients, and across seven years I’ve worked with more than 3,000 freelancers. Same thread every single time: the to-do list is a mile long and most of it doesn’t matter. The online space is loud. Post daily, be on LinkedIn, no wait, Threads, no wait, Facebook Groups are dead, no wait, they’re not. Holy banan...

Ever wanted to snoop behind the scenes of a seven-figure business and see exactly what tools keep the whole thing running? Same. Brandi is nosy like that too.

But here's the honest part: you do not need all of it. Brandi walks through what she recommends for service providers, what she'd do differently if she could go back,...

Let me say it loud for the people in the back. Services are the fastest path to cash, and they always will be. I will die on that hill. In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Fine, a longtime student and Strategist Society member who has been through every phase of business. She started during the pandemic, shut it down for a dream job at Coca-Cola, got discriminated against for being a mom, had her second baby, and relaunched with one goal: pick her son up from kindergarten every single d...

Eight years ago this month, I was sitting on my bathroom floor, five months postpartum, crying, googling "legit work from home jobs" so I could pay a bankruptcy attorney and still buy formula and diapers. That was rock bottom. It was also the decision that changed my entire life. This week is my eight-year business anniversary, and instead of a "look how far I've come" celebration post, I'm doing something different. I'm pulling you up a chair like we're sitting in my favorite coffee shop and...

Y'all, this one is going to light a fire under you. Brittney Roberts spent over a decade as a jack-of-all-trades freelancer, strictly hourly, wearing every hat, and after childcare she was making almost nothing. One year she looked at her taxes and saw $18,000. That was the wake-up call. In this student spotlight, Brittney shares the exact pivot that took her from $18K a year to over six figures as a freelance ad manager, all while moving across the country, homeschooling three energetic boys...

Y'all, this spotlight episode hit different. Lauren is a Conversions for Clients student who got made redundant in December and gave herself 3 months to make her ad management business work before she'd have to go back to corporate. By April, she was billing £6,125 with four clients, all from four completely different sources. No fancy website. No massive audience. No "wait until I'm ready" energy. Just decision, deadline, and doing the dang thing. In this episode, Lauren breaks down her exac...

If you're staring at your calendar in June thinking, "Oh my gosh, what am I about to do with the kids home all stinking summer," this episode was created exactly for you. You do not have to white-knuckle your way through the next eight weeks. You don't have to ghost your clients. You don't have to skip the beach. And you definitely don't have to work from a hotel bathroom at 11pm while your kids are asleep. There is a way to actually do this. I've coached hundreds of women through it, and I p...

Working nights. Working weekends. Working into the cracks of your life. Tracking every minute for 30+ clients. Watching your effective rate drop every time you get faster at your job. If that is your current reality, this episode is the mirror you need. This week on Serve Scale Soar, I sit down with Mandy, a Canadian funnel designer and Strategist Society member, who pulled off one of my favorite kinds of transformations. She went from $10K hourly months (and full-on burnout) to one $12,000/m...
