From Zero to Six Figures: Free Tools That Fueled My Entrepreneurial Journey with Julie Lokun

Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s a wild mix of exhilarating freedom and daunting challenges. In this episode, I open up about my personal journey of starting a coaching business with zero dollars in my pocket, nothing but determination, and a burning passion to help others. Against the odds, I built my first business into a six-figure success in its very first year.

But here’s the truth: while you have to spend money to grow a business, there are also powerful free (or nearly free) tools that can help you scale smartly. I’ve tested, failed, learned, and refined the process, and now I’m sharing my go-to resources that continue to shape my entrepreneurial path.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking for ways to streamline your hustle, these free faves will help you level up without breaking the bank.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship (and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything).
• How blind passion fueled my first business into six-figure territory.
• The hard truths about investing wisely in your dream.
• My tested list of free and low-cost tools every entrepreneur should know about.

Tools I Swear By (and You Should Try!)

• Google Docs – Collaborate and create without limits.
• Clubhouse – Build connections and share ideas in real time.
• Canva – Design like a pro without the design degree.
