274: A Deep Dive Into the Back End of My Business

In this solo episode, I dive into all the back-end details of my business, from how I first developed a business plan in content creation to how various elements of my business work today. I share what the early days of Freckled Foodie looked like, what inspired me to quit my corporate job and pursue health and food content creation full-time, and how I took the plunge and built out my business model. I discuss how and why I started the podcast, how I grew my social channels and began monetizing my content, and why getting a management team was the turning point in my career. I also share how what I make now compares with the salary I would be making today in corporate, how my sponsored content works, and how my income is broken down in different buckets. Finally, I talk about the members of my team and what they do, the future of the “Quiet Your Mind, Busy Your Hands” platform, and I answer questions about mentorship, hiring out, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:On the chaos and joy of DecemberOn the misconceptions of content creation and taking pride in owning a businessMy background and how I got into content creationHow my car accident shifted my prioritiesHow I built out my Freckled Foodie modelOn telling my family and bosses I was pursuing Freckled Foodie full-timeHow I started the podcastOn growing my social channels and monetizing the podcastOn getting a management team and why it was a turning pointOn comparing what I make now with the salary I would have made had I stayed in my corporate jobOn how my To Be Magnetic code filters everything I do in workHow I work with sponsored contentBreaking down the different buckets of my incomeOn the future of the “Quiet Your Mind, Busy Your Hands” platformThe members of my team and what they doAnswering questions about hiring out, mentorship, advice for starting out, what a typical day looks like, the most challenging aspects of this jobSign up for the To Be Magnetic course hereFind Chloe’s work at @atdarlingtonFind Hannah’s work at @Hannah.sheridan.designThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
