Les Alfred, best known as the host of the Balanced Black Girl podcast, joins Rachel today for a brand new coaching session!

Les has been in the entrepreneurial game for one year now – and she’s ready to scale. She’s got her eyes and mind set on a 7-figure revenue goal, and Rachel’s just the woman to help her make it happen. 

But there’s one problem: there’s only one Les! She can’t be everywhere. And as her brand grows, we need to keep things as streamlined as possible in order to avoid burnout. 

If you, like Les, are thinking of transforming a side hustle into your full-time career – and don’t want to exhaust yourself in the process – then this episode is made for you.
