Ep. 150: How Aspiring Entrepreneur Sophie Howard Found a Way to Work from Home and Build More Than One Thriving Online Businesses
Interviews, strategy and advice for building your online business with your host Trudy Rankin.
Summary
When baby number 2 came along, and it was time to go back to work, civil servant Sophie Howard realised that the numbers just didn’t stack up.
She looked at what her salary would be versus what she would have to pay in childcare costs, commuting to work and all the rest that goes with having a job in a government agency and she knew there had to be another way of making a living.
With a lot of research, tons of determination and possibly a touch of beginners luck, Sophie was able to build … and then sell … an e-commerce business for over a million dollars USD.
But by then, she’d caught the entrepreneurial bug and realised she enjoyed the process of buying existing online businesses and making them more profitable. Several 6 and 7-figure businesses later, she is now sharing what she’s learned with her Freedom Navigator students.
In this episode, Sophie shares some of her experiences along the way to owning a portfolio of online businesses. As well as a lot of wisdom about this particular business model and how it works.
So if you’re interested in building versus buying an online business as a way to get started on your journey to entrepreneurial success, have a listen.
