Start a Successful Online Business

I wrote another book!

It took me a full 40 weeks to birth this book…

Which feels appropriate considering I published it the day before my birthday and two days before Mother’s Day!

My first book, which I published in 2018, is still one of my proudest accomplishments. I shared my mission, my heart, and my story. That book has served as the spark that inspired so many women to chase their goals.

But this book…

THIS BOOK.

This book is all about you, Rebekah.

It’s your roadmap.

It’s your guide.

It’s your tutorial.

It’s your cheerleader.

It’s everything I know about starting an online business.

Step by step.

It’s a proven system that I’ve been teaching to thousands of women for nearly 7 years now and IT WORKS.

And now, it’s even more accessible through this book.

In “Start an Online Business,” I’m showing you how to:

  • Overcome the internal and external challenges that hold you back
  • Build strong relationships that convert to long-term clients
  • Develop a personal brand that stands out in the digital crowd
  • Use the power of marketing, even if you’re not a marketer
  • Empower yourself with the tools and knowledge you need to achieve the life you desire

    My approach is not just about business, it’s about reshaping your life to be as fulfilling as possible.

This is more than just a book—it’s a gateway to a life of freedom and success as defined by you.

I hope you’ll support me (or wish me a belated happy birthday!) by buying this book for yourself, a friend, a wife, a sister, a daughter, or a mother who has the drive but just needs the tools to earn money independently. 

Freelancing changed my life, and I hope this book will change yours 😘

Get Re-Inspired By Your Business

A few weeks ago, I decided it was time to shift the conversation on my Instagram away from making more money.

Why?

Well, I think there is a big misconception out there that if you could just make more money, your problems will be solved, life will get easier, and you’ll finally be happy!

More Money = More Freedom

Right?!

Wrong.

If you’re passionate about your work, but not making enough money to support your lifestyle, resentment and burnout will follow.

If you’re profitable but lack passion for what you do, your work will feel empty and unfulfilling.

And if you have passion and profit, but no peace — no time for self-care, family, or the things that bring you joy — the success feels hollow.

There IS a middle sweet spot 👇

When your passion fuels your profit, your profit supports your peace, and your peace allows you to fully embrace your passion…

That, my friend, is FREEDOM.

Does it require you to have the skills to make money in your business?

Yes, absolutely.

It is the currency that will give you the time leverage you’re after to do more of what you want.

However, if you build a business the wrong way, a business you don’t enjoy working in, or you’re constantly just striving for more, more, more… well, you won’t feel free at all.

If freedom is something you’re after, in business and life, keep reading.

So often, we chase after just one of these things at a time — passion, profit, or peace — thinking that it will bring us the success we so desperately crave.

True freedom comes when ALL THREE are working together in harmony.

That’s when the magic happens ✌️❤️💰

Are you leaning too heavily into one area while neglecting the others?

Are you overwhelmed with decision-making and all the information out there?

Are you sick of second-guessing yourself and always putting your needs last?

If you’re done treading water and you’re ready to find true freedom, the kind that makes you giddy just thinking about it, join me and other Free Mamas creating THIER VERSIONS of freedom-based businesses.

It’s all wrapped up in the community I wish I would have had on my path to freedom…

The Free Mama Membership.

What exactly will you get? Great question.

  • How to make even more money in your business (whether you’re brand new or making 6-figures!)
  • My exact framework that helped me ditch limiting beliefs for good
  • Accountability and solidarity so you’re never left wondering what to do next or struggling to get it done

  • And so much more!

Happy Women’s History Month

This time of year always gets me thinking—about the fierce ladies of the past, sure, but also about sourdough.

Yes, you heard right.

Sourdough.

And babies.

And businesses.

And, oh, those dreamy 10k months.

We’re living in a world our grandmothers could only have imagined, where our “daily grind” could mean anything from our Starbucks order to setting up a service-based business between playdates.

Isn’t it wild?

We get to do both.

Whether you’re in the season of life where you’re perfecting that sourdough starter with a baby on one hip and a laptop on the other, or you’re all in on chasing those 10k months—or hey, why not both?—it’s all on the table.

We get to decide if today’s office is the kitchen table, a home office, or a blanket fort in the living room. Daycare, grandparents, stay-at-home dads, or homeschooling while building a naptime empire—it’s all fair game.

Super cool women throughout history fought for our right to vote, to work, to own property, and so much more. And now, thanks to their battles and the internet’s boundless opportunities, we get to craft lives and careers that fit us like a glove.

Or, you know, a really comfy pair of yoga pants.

So this Women’s History Month, let’s pour some fizzy water out for the ladies who made this all possible.

Let’s celebrate the fact that you don’t have to choose between family and financial stability…

You can have both.

Let’s not waste it.

Wishing you all the freedom, choices, and maybe a little bit of that sourdough success.

PS. If you’re burnt out, feeling unaligned, and need more freedom…The Free Mama Membership is for you.

Burnout is not a badge of honor

So many online business owners buy into the dangerous lie that constant overwhelm and exhaustion are just part of hustling harder for success.

If you want more you have to do more, right?!

Wrong.

In fact, you may be speeding toward burnout and not even realize it. Here are a few signs:

  • You’re exhausted All.The.Time. You’re mentally and physically fatigued, but you don’t know how to ask for help or slow down.​
  • You used to love your clients, but lately you’ve been feeling a little bit irritable or even resentful.
  • You’re unable to switch off from work-mode during family time, and cannot remember the last time you did something just for yourself.

What if instead of pushing through the stress for validation or money or reputation or whatever else you’re seeking…

…you nurtured a business aligned with your TRUE priorities?

One that allows you to make an impact through your unique zone of genius, serve others from an inspired place, and enjoy the journey…WITHOUT killing yourself or missing what matters most along the way.

If you’re burnt out, feeling unaligned, and need more freedom…The Free Mama Membership is for you.

Shake It Off: Embracing success without envy

Have you noticed how we all cheer like crazy for folks on their way up? Simone Biles flipping her way into our hearts, Taylor Swift crafting the soundtrack of our lives—pure magic. But then, there’s this weird switcheroo. Once they hit what some consider “the top,” the cheering can turn into… well, something less cheerful.

Lately, scrolling through social media feels like watching shade get thrown like it’s an Olympic sport. We’re all aboard the love train until someone gets a bit too shiny, and suddenly, it’s “Whoa, not that shiny!” We’ve got to ask ourselves: Why the switch? It’s kinda like we’re creating Bad Blood when there’s no need for a fight, just because it feels unfair we’re not the ones under the spotlight.

Here’s a thought as we dive into Super Bowl mania and see even more adorable T-Swift and T-Kelce memes everywhere: Maybe, just maybe, when we’re tempted to throw shade, it’s actually our own stuff we’re grappling with. Jealous much? Or maybe it’s a nudge to work on our own dreams and happiness instead of eyeing someone else’s trophy.

So, here’s the deal: Let’s keep it real and supportive, no matter how high someone soars. Because tearing others down? That’s on us, not them. Karma is what you say about others from behind your keyboard. Let’s spread good vibes, celebrate the wins (big and small), and remember—someone else’s spotlight doesn’t dim yours.

What successful people know about time ⏰

What does it mean to have a life-first business?

While some business owners are chasing money, a life-first entrepreneur knows that money is simply a tool to buy back our time.

I want time to help other people and enjoy my family, hang out with my friends, travel, and take care of myself, too.

If you want to step up your results across all aspects of your life in 2024, you have to change your relationship with time!

Here are a few ways to get started:

✔️ Make decisions quickly (indecision is a massive time-suck)

✔️ Set and uphold your boundaries so that you’re not always reacting to the demands of others (no more people-pleasing!)

✔️ Use a prioritization tool like my Daily 5 Success Planner to do the hard things first

✔️ Eliminate distractions by getting social apps off your phone, unsubscribing to shopping emails, and ditching streaming services at night

✔️ Invest in time-saving solutions, whether it’s a course, a cleaning crew, or a software program (remember, spending a little bit of money to save a lot of time is the way of the wealthy!)

Money is awesome, but I’ve learned that chasing money alone 1. isn’t very fulfilling and 2. kind of scares it away.

The more I step into the version of me that respects my own time as well as the time of others, the more of it I seem to have to be able to live the life I used to dream about.

Here’s to enhancing your relationship with time so you can work smarter and not harder in 2024!

Avoid burning it down in 2024 

If you’re like me, around this time you’re re-evaluating your strategies, habits, and schedule for the year to come.

You may be finding yourself looking for ways to release things (or people) that no longer serve you.

You’re probably also taking inventory of what it’s really going to take to hit your goals.

Here’s my shortlist:

IN: simplified offers and intentional top-down marketing, plenty of quiet time, outsourcing

OUT: playing small, doing things just because other people are, not asking for help

My word for the year is RISE and I plan to bring you with me 😉

Welcome to 2024… it’s already here!

      2. Avoid burning it down in 2024 🔥
      3. A Step-by-Step Guide to Self-Publishing 📚

    Get Your 2024 Strategic Plan 🚗

    A couple of weeks ago I walked my clients through a 12-month strategic planning session in just 90 minutes.

    I’m a big believer in working a plan and making adjustments based on data, rather than chucking spaghetti against a wall (on the nights you actually cook) and seeing what sticks.

    This isn’t just something I’m teaching, I’m also using this process and I’m further ahead than I’ve ever been on January 4!

    The feedback from my clients was that this was our best annual roadmap training yet, so we wanted to give you one last chance to build a 12-month Strategic plan that is simple, easy to follow, and effective.

    How to Get Everything You Want from Your Business in 2024 🔥

    Are you looking to make more money while working less hours in your business this year?

    Join me for a brand-NEW free training designed specifically for moms with businesses who want to make more money to fund their dream lives, but don’t want to work full-time hours or stretch themselves thin.

    We’re going to cover how to find the model that supports your goals, ways to optimize your revenue without working more hours, and how to align your values and purpose so you don’t build a business out of alignment with what you want your life to look like.

    You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening inside my business this quarter.

    Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February, at 12:00pm CT.

    Publish a Book this Year…Yes You! 📚

    Back in 2018, I published my first book. It was a dream come true, but honestly, it wasn’t cheap. I invested a ton of time, money, and energy into a publisher, ghostwriter, copyeditor, and sound editor.

    Would I do it again?

    YES! Because that book became a huge marketing tool for my business, but also a big credibility boost as a speaker and coach. Plus, it helped me get it done with the limited information I had.

    BUT…

    As I looked at writing and publishing more books in 2023 (and more to come in 2024), I knew I needed a different approach that was quick and inexpensive.

    If becoming a published author or adding a passive revenue stream is on your vision board for this year, you’ll want to learn from my friend Jenny. 

    Check out Jenny’s self-study program.

      Are you part of this 4%?

      Do you know what a movement looks like?

      Like a true movement?

      It looks something like…

      More than 7,000 students.

      Spanning multiple countries across 6 continents.

      With over 15 different languages.

      It consists of moms, dads and fur mamas, too.

      They have helped close to 15,000 clients…

      Generating OVER $22 MILLION in revenue for themselves and their families.

      With 4 women earning the Million Dollar Mama award.

      13 Free Mama meetups (not including the one in Orlando last weekend).

      5 Mastermind events (not including the one in Hawaii next month).

      3 Live events.

      With over 318 participants.

      And countless lives impacted…

      Not just the Free Mamas’, but the families of these women (and men!) who took that first small, courageous step.

      These statistics I just mentioned…

      They make up ONLY 4% of the 7,000 students that have taken The Free Mama programs who contributed to our Impact Report Survey.

      JUST 4% of the 7,000.

      Not 4% of the 42k inside our Facebook group or tens of thousands on our email list…

      But 4% of 7k.

      Which means they don’t even touch the depths of the impact made – yes, bank accounts, but more importantly the connection we have with ourselves and others.

      So what would it look like if we impacted even more lives?

      Here is our chance to do that.

      Have you been on the fence?

      Have you been fighting the calling I spoke about yesterday in the group?

      I’m giving you my hand.

      Don’t give in to the excuses… there will always be a reason to stay where you are.

      Instead, fight the situation you find yourself in RIGHT NOW.

      If you dream of more freedom, more time, more travel, more energy, more time with your kids…

      NOW IS YOUR TIME.

      Will you take my hand and let me help you take the next small courageous step in your journey?

      Then let’s do it together.

      We’re still celebrating 5 years of impact through Sunday, and we’re offering you our $500 bundle that includes BOTH The Free Mama Movement AND The Movement Maker Accelerator.

      What will you do with this opportunity?

      I hope that the next time we look at everything The Free Mama has done, that your name, your revenue and your story is one we highlight.

      Ready to take the step with me?

      Join me here.

      Here’s to becoming everything you were meant to be, mama.
