What if it does work out?

Ever wondered if you could actually make money proofreading? If you’ve been searching for a way to earn income from home -- without giving up your flexibility-- this episode is for you.

I’m chatting with Nerissa Hall, a proofreader, entrepreneur, and mom who went from working at a sheriff’s department to building a work-from-home business on her own terms. Her story proves that success isn’t about luck -- it’s about learning a skill, taking action, and making it work for you.

In this episode, we cover:
✔ How she transitioned from transcribing to proofreading (and why proofreading was the better choice!)
✔ Why financial security isn’t about a 9-5 job -- it’s about having skills you can rely on
✔ The power of starting small, taking daily action, and building something that fits your life

If you’ve ever thought, Could I actually do this, this episode will give you the nudge you need.
