187: From Furloughed to $560K Agency

What would you do if your job disappeared tomorrow?
After six years at Ticketmaster, that’s what happened to Rachel Minion. She was suddenly furloughed during the pandemic. At the same time, her husband had just been laid off.
There was no backup plan.
But Rachel had something that many of you have or are wanting to have ... a side hustle with a small handful of clients.
So she made a decision.
She called those clients and told them she was now available full-time. She shares that since then, her marketing agency is now generating about $560,000 a year.
We also learn from Rachel,
- how she made the leap from side hustle to full-time business,
- how she turns expertise into offers clients will pay for, and
- why marketing your own business, can feel harder than marketing someone else’s.
If you’re currently building something on the side or thinking about starting, this conversation with Rachel may expand what you think is possible, for you.
Do you like what you're hearing? Consider giving it a caffeinated thumbs up. We'd really appreciate it!
