After graduating from college with honors in communication studies and securing a well-paying corporate job, Kara Fillion started seeing ads on Facebook about people working from their laptop and traveling around the world. She found herself determined to make this her own reality and started putting in the hard work. Less than a year later, she hit a monumental milestone in her business and had her first $10K month.

Kara did research about working from her laptop and started hiring coaches to learn the ropes. In the last two years, she has worked with three coaches and got the help she needed to make her own business a reality. I’m a huge proponent to hiring coaches, being in a paid mastermind, or having a mentor to help you advance your business, and Kara did just that. She has officially been running her business for ten months as a VA/OBM. She helps busy entrepreneurs with their social media, tech, strategy, and business management. Today, she and I talk about:

• How she hit her first $10k month in January, 10 months into running her business
• Tips on how to overcome fear
• Why mindset plays a huge role in reaching your goals
• What it meant to her business success to hire coaches
• How you don’t have to have a huge team or work 80-hour weeks to hit a 5 or 6 figure month
• One thing you can do this week to work towards your own $10K month

I have a super special guest today...my husband! Scott and I have been married for almost 2 years now and together for almost 4. When I first started my online business, he was pretty foreign to the whole thing but, he's always been super supportive. I wanted to have him on the podcast today, firstly, because it's Valentines Day and #HandHearts, #Sweetness, but secondly, because I get asked pretty regularly questions about how my husband feels about my business and also advice for what to do when your spouse isn't too keen on your new entrepreneurial adventure.

I thought having a non-entrepreneur take on the whole thing might be a great idea. I loved Scott's insight on topics like how to be supportive, what he thought when I first started my business, and, of course, how we keep the love alive.

Hope you enjoy!

Can you imagine running your business while homeschooling AND working a 9-5 job?! I sure can’t but our guest today, Tarin LaRoux does just that. I know that the word “supermom” sometimes gets a bad however, I think Tarin has earned that cape. You’ll hear from our episode how Tarin keeps everything organized and “how doing all the things” doesn’t mean you have to do them alone. (we get to talk a lot about Tarin’s super supportive boyfriend which I love!).

If you’re someone trying to balance it all, definitely check out this episode for some major inspiration that it CAN in fact be done!

The land of Pinterest has busted wide open as an online platform brimming with opportunity for business owners looking to find other ways to target their ideal clients. And where there’s opportunity for business owners, there’s also opportunity for the virtual team who supports them. My guest today, Monica Draudt took her own love for Pinterest, learned what it could do in the world of business, and leap head first into a successful business as a Pinterest Strategist.

I talk all of the time about the power of niching down and becoming an expert at one or two high ticket and high value services and Monica is a prime example of what just that. Today, she and I talk about:

• How Monica started her online business.
• Why Monica chose Pinterest as one of her premium service offerings.
• How Monica makes more working from home than she did in her full time job.

This month marks exactly one year since I went into business full time for myself and, while there have been many "unexpecteds" in my entrepreneurial journey, one of the biggest ones is how going from working a full time 9-5 to working from home would effect my body.

One thing you may not know about me is that, before I started The Launch Guild, I was the full time Health and Well Being Director for two YMCAs. I've been a professional dancer, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor. Up until now, fitness and wellness have been infused in every fabric of my life and my day. So my body was pretty shocked when I went from constantly moving to constantly sitting. And it was NOT happy.

Today on the podcast, I'm going to share with you the steps I took to get back on track with my wellness goals. Even though I now have to be more intentional about staying active, it doesn't need to be difficult and, I've found that more I respect my body, the easier it is to stay sharp and focused in my biz.

Also, make sure you grab my free downloads where I'll be sharing my 10 minute at home workout routine, my favorite green smoothie recipe, and a stretch routine you can do from your desk.
