Bonnie (Ling) Thich launched a six-figure blog with Pinterest

Bonnie worked as an Analyst in the wholesale banking area for a major financial institution. It was a pretty comfortable gig, and she enjoyed working with different stakeholders, but her heart just wasn’t there.

Deep down, it felt like she needed to do something different from the regular 9-5 but she just didn’t know what it was.

Then, one day, when she was looking for profitable hobbies, she stumbled upon the idea of blogging. That’s when there was a calling within her to start a personal finance blog. FinSavvy Panda. Learn how she did it in this interview.

Polly and Rachel didn't sacrifice family to build their business

Many people want to build an online business for the freedom and flexibility of working on their own terms. Unfortunately, reaching success often requires significant sacrifice before experiencing those benefits.

Polly and Rachel run a six-figure food blog and enjoy the lifestyle of successful bloggers. But their story is unique because they didn’t sacrifice time with family or other important things in their lives to make it happen.

They grew their blog slowly over time, each working as little as 5-10 hours per week. It took a while to reach a full-time income, but these two mothers of three kids did it on their own terms.

Polly shares the details of their journey in this interview.

Alli Hill used Fiverr to kickstart six-figure freelancing

The flexibility of freelancing appeals to many of us. Alli Hill was motivated by a boss who wanted her to take on additional responsibilities without a pay increase.

She used the skills she was developing for her full-time job to build her own business on the side, and today, she enjoys all the privileges that come with being her own boss.

One of the most unique parts of her story is how she transitioned out of her full-time job by staying in the role but moving to work as a contracted consultant instead of an employee.

In this interview on Founder Reports, Alli shares her journey from frustrated employee to six-figure freelancer.
