From Self-Doubt to Multiple Six Figures.
How I grew my working mom side hustle into a successful online business.
Welcome
to the first episode of Money Magnet Mama! I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. Often, we hear about overnight success stories, but we rarely see the struggles and failures behind them. I aim to provide a raw, authentic look into the real journey of building an online business, sharing strategies and mindset tips to help you move forward.
The Beginning
Juggling Work, Family, and a Dream
In March 2020, as the pandemic hit, I decided to turn my dream into reality. Working full-time, commuting an hour each way, and caring for two toddlers, I began building my side hustle. I initially aimed to become a mom influencer on Instagram but quickly realized it wasn’t for me. My introverted nature and perfectionism made content creation a challenge.
Despite the obstacles, I was determined to make money online. My first attempt was a digital course launch, but it failed miserably. I felt crushed, especially when the only person who bought it asked for a refund. But I didn’t give up. Instead, I pivoted, creating a smaller, more manageable workshop priced at $47, which I later discounted to $27. It was hard work, but I made $3,000 in revenue, a significant turning point.
The Breakthrough
Scaling Up and Quitting My Job
By October 2020, my persistence paid off. I had my first five-figure launch, making over $10,000. I continued to launch and refine my offerings, balancing my full-time job and homeschooling. In May 2021, after a $25,000 launch, I finally quit my toxic 9-to-5 job. This leap of faith was terrifying but necessary for my growth.
The first six months after quitting were about decompressing and finding my footing. I focused on self-care, exercising, and nurturing myself. This period of self-investment led to a significant business breakthrough. By the fall of 2021, I made over $30,000 from a program launch, solidifying my business’s success.
Evolution
From Social Media Strategy to Online Business Coaching
In 2022, I transitioned from social media strategy to online business coaching, aligning with my passion for helping female entrepreneurs build soulful online businesses. This pivot was messy and challenging, but it was a necessary evolution. I launched “Hit 100K,” a hybrid 12-month group coaching program that became my primary revenue driver. This program offers a supportive community for online entrepreneurs, helping them scale their businesses through weekly coaching.
Reflections & Advice
Looking back, my journey was filled with failures, pivots, and emotional roller coasters. But each setback was a stepping stone. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned, it’s that flopping forward is a crucial part of the entrepreneurial journey. Accepting and embracing failure allows you to reframe your perspective and keep moving forward.
