313: From Teacher to Freelance Creative Business Strategist: Why Kerry Komarov Didn’t Hesitate to Go All In with Freelancing

EPISODE 313 SHOW NOTES

 

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to bring back the Student Success Story Series!

Today, you are going to get to meet Kerry Komarov. Kerry is a former middle school teacher of 10 years turned entrepreneur and Creative Business Strategist.

Kerry was able to resign from teaching by exceeding her income goals, working 20-25 hours a week. She made this shift while taking care of a toddler and a newborn.

If you are looking for a way to be the “never miss a moment” mom while exceeding your current income working less than 25 hours a week, you won’t want to miss this episode.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Kerry’s journey from teacher to freelancer
  • How she manages freelancing with a 3 year old and 1 year old
  • How she landed her retainer and project-based clients and the tasks she handles for them

You’ll love this episode if:

  • You’re desperate to be home with your kids but need to keep making money to support your family

More about the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn:

How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me? Is it really possible to create a consistent, full-time income from home?

Welcome to the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn where we will be answering these questions PLUS many more! Whether you’re just starting your freelance business (heck even if you don’t know what freelancing is yet) or you’re looking to scale, this podcast will give you tangible business advice along with inspiring interviews to help you create a life and career that works for YOU and YOUR family.

Your host, Micala Quinn, started out teaching high-school English, but when her first child was born, she immediately began searching for something more. She wanted a way to stay-at-home with her daughter (and future babies), but still needed to bring in a full-time income to help support her family. Micala started freelancing, quickly replaced her full-time income, and now helps other moms (like you) get started and grow their freelance business from scratch to 5K and beyond! She believes that being a working mom or a stay-at-home mom no longer needs to be a black and white decision. You CAN have both. On your terms!

Our motto is Mom Strong, Work Smart, and Live Free. Are you in? We’d love for you to join us each Monday, as well as in our Live Free Podcast Facebook community!
