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.

Today, Ashley Hogrebe joins me to share an honest look into the complexities of running an online business, especially when it comes to transitioning from behind the scenes for others to running your own show. 

Ashley turned her ADHD diagnosis into a strength by channeling that hyper-focus to master Airtable and help businesses tackle this really challenging, but oh-so-necessary, part of their operations.

Today she shares the highs and lows of launching and scaling her business while facing other personal challenges like divorce and confronting her own identity as a business owner. We talk about investments, managing business debt, and making strategic decisions about what and how to launch.
