Claire Pelletreau was just starting to grow her side business as a Facebook ad and marketing consultant when her full-time job disappeared. Desperate to land enough clients just to pay the bills, she was disappointed at how difficult it was to find real tactical advice that would help actually her get paid month to month. The Get Paid Podcast is Claire’s attempt to pull back the curtain on the reality of running an online business. All these people pulling in “six figures” - how are they ACTUALLY doing it? What kind of money do they take home after expenses? What are those expenses, anyway? Are they truly “solopreneurs” or are they supported by a team? What does that team do for them? How are they marketing their offerings and growing their lists? How long did it take to get to where they are? You’ll discover how different entrepreneurs get paid and what it costs them to bring in that money.

Braden Drake: Should You Focus on Monthly Profit Goals?

Apr 7, 2022

Braden Drake is a law school graduate in San Diego & took and passed the bar exam. That makes him an official lawyer. After that, he got his master's degree in tax law while working for H&R Block part-time. It was a party.

Then, he started a law firm, worked 1-on-1 with about 100 different creative small biz owners, and discovered that he loved teaching and empowering entrepreneurs to kick ass in business.

 

Braden has a handsome husband who works as a District Attorney prosecuting hate crimes in San Diego, and they have three adorable little dogs.

 

“We’re all in this to make profit, specifically to get money into our personal bank account. I felt like that messaging was getting lost.” - Braden Drake
