FL 59 – Helping Deb start an online business teaching mompreneurs how to work from home

Deb made the switch to online business 3 years ago, but has found herself trading time for dollars and wants to shift out of that into an online business without an income cap and strict hours. We're going to talk about the first steps to getting started so Deb can get her site for mompreneurs off the ground and start building an email list and creating income.
