EPISODE 204 SHOW NOTES: Success Story Update: Emilee Vales – Where are they now?

 

Hey there! Today I am chatting with Emilee Vales. Emilee is a LFA alum and is back on the podcast sharing where she is at now in her freelancing career. Emilee is a former teacher who started freelancing when she joined the Live Free Academy (formerly Overwhelmed to Overbooked). If you haven’t listened to how she got started and was booked out in less than 2 months, be sure to go listen to episode 26 before diving in to the this episode.

In this episode, Emilee and I chat about the pivot that she originally made from social media management to Pinterest management and the strategy that really worked for her when she decided to pivot. Cold-pitching was a big part of that strategy and we chat all about how she made that work for her. We chat about persistence and doing what works for you. We even chat about maternity leave and how that can look as a freelancer. This episode is full of so much helpful information from a Live Free Academy alum that will be sure to help you whether you are thinking about freelancing, new to the program, or have been freelancing for a while.

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!
