Today’s guest is Jenny Weg. Jenny is a full-time mom and social media manager who started her business out of a desire to stay at home with her first child after maternity leave.
Like many business owners, Jenny’s journey has been a nonlinear one. After building her business as a full-time freelancer and course creator, Jenny decided to go back to a full-time job and keep her business for supplemental income. She’s learned to adapt her business model to support her family throughout the changing seasons of life. And that, as you’ll hear in Jenny’s story, is the beauty of having an online business.
In this episode, Jenny shares:
- How she got her first ever freelancing client (and tips for networking and getting referrals)
- Why she decided to go back to a full-time job
- How much profit her business makes per month now that she’s only doing it part-time
- How she made $20k with her first course launch with no training or prior experience (and, more importantly, how she won a related bet with her husband)
- What she did really well (and what she would change) with her first course launch
- The best investment she made in her business that paid off 55x in the first 6 months
- And so much more!
