Welcome to another episode of The Six Figure Side Gig Podcast!

Joining us today is Carrie Wilkerson. Carrie is known best as The Barefoot Executive, after her bestselling book of the same name. The primary focus of Carrie’s business is a combination of private coaching, keynote speaking, content generation and sales force training through motivation and education for large corporations. Today Carrie and I speak about her journey from never imagining she would be an entrepreneur to how a strong desire to stay home with her newly adopted children and still have an income led her to start her own business. She also shares how instead of constantly trying to pursue work/life balance, her family has developed a rhythm of functioning and supporting each other in both business success and personal happiness.

All of that and more on today’s episode of The Six Figure Side Gig.
