Hey, everyone! I’m thrilled to welcome you to give a peak into my world and my story. This journey has been brewing in my mind for over two years, ever since I kicked off my online business. Today, I’m excited to share how I completely transformed my financial life – from the challenges of being a photographer to the triumphs of becoming an online course creator.

I’m Angie, a Florida native, happily married for 16 years, and a proud mom of two amazing kids. Let’s dive into the story of how I transitioned from teaching to photography and, eventually, to the thriving world of online entrepreneurship.

The Photography Chapter: Having spent over 12 years as a photographer, I faced the common struggles of wanting more financial freedom and flexibility. The dream of a life beyond budget constraints led me to discover the potential of online courses through a chance encounter with an inspiring fellow photographer.

Shifting Gears to Online Business: In 2020 I made a significant decision to become a photo editor, drawn by the allure of working from home and the promise of increased income. Little did I know, this decision marked the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, not because of the photoediting, but because I was really introduced to online courses and their power to change lives.

The Revelation of Online Courses: Taking an online course on wedding editing opened my eyes to the possibilities of learning and growing without traditional schooling. The challenges presented by the pandemic made me realize the vulnerability of my photography career, pushing me to explore the world of online courses. I thought, if a course can really change a life, what can I teach to change the lives of others.

The Birth of the Mini-Course Method: Fast forward to 2021, I took a leap and created a budget-friendly bootcamp-style course for women seeking career transitions. Running ads for this course laid the foundation for my success. The evergreen model, complemented by additional courses based on student demand, allowed my business to flourish.

Scaling My Business: With the success of my mini-course method for photographers, I expanded and started helping others. This realization that teaching this method could be my core message prompted the creation of this business. It’s not just about sharing my journey but inspiring others to overcome fears and uncertainties.

Building a Solid Business Foundation: I often compare the mini-course method to buying land for your business – a foundation that attracts fresh faces and daily sales. It provides the groundwork for scaling and building additional offerings, creating an evergreen business model.

Reflecting on Transformative Results: Looking back at the past three years, my life has undergone profound changes. From attending a Taylor Swift concert with my daughter to providing my son with a confidence-boosting surgery, the financial freedom gained through entrepreneurship has made a significant impact on my family’s life.

Embarking on something new can be intimidating, but having a path, a guide, or a coach can make the journey less daunting. My hope is that this podcast, blog and my story inspires anyone facing fear or imposter syndrome about entering the online business world. Remember, success is within reach for anyone willing to start and find their guiding light. Thanks for tuning in!
