315: From Tech VA to Web Designer: How Maggie Was Able to Launch and Pivot Her Freelance Business

EPISODE 315 SHOW NOTES

 

Happy to have you back to The Live Free Podcast!

Today we have another student success story! Maggie joins me to talk about her start as a Tech VA turned web designer.

After moving across the country and needing a career change, Maggie knew there had to be a way to be home with her girls while also earning a reliable income using skills she acquired in her previous job.

She landed a client on her own before joining The Live Free Academy but she knew she wanted the added support that came with LFA.

She landed 3 more clients in her first month joining the monthly challenge hosted each month for those in LFA. She did that all while having 3 little ones at home!

Maggie then decided to pivot to web design and has utilized in-person networking events to make connections and land clients.

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!
