scale school

Whether you are just getting started or looking to scale your social media management business, this personalized program is tailored just for you & YOUR goals.

REAL TALK 🍎 

I know what it is like to feel like you want to be doing something bigger and better but you just can’t wrap your head around it. Seeing your entire feed filled with women who are building businesses that allow them to make six figure incomes, create their own flexible schedules, work wherever they choose, and actually seemingly enjoy what they are doing!

Does this sound like you?

Trust me, I have been there. But, guess what? Those women were just like us at one point too, until they decide to take a risk, and put in the work to build something different. SOMETHING BETTER. I truly believe it is never too late to start something new. So, why not now?

I know what it is like to feel stuck in a job, in a 9-5 schedule, in credit card debt, seeing others live the dream, you name it.

MY STORY
2018

I became a teacher at the end of 2018, and in less than two years realized that, while I loved teaching, the emotional and financial exhaustion that came along with it just wasn’t for me.

So I went back to serving at a restaurant till I came up with another plan. I always loved making content with food, and when the opportunity to take over the social media for the restaurant I was working at presented itself — It was like my LIGHT BULB MOMENT. THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO —- I am going to become not only a social media manager, but a BUSINESS OWNER.

STARTED MY BUSINESS
2021

I was so excited to DIVE IN and build a business, but turns out doing it alone and from scratch can lead to a lot of problems. And it did. In my first year…

❌ I thought I needed to invest in things like fancy cameras, scheduling subscriptions, photoshop, content gadgets in order to succeed.

❌ I didn’t know what “client boundaries” were and that led me to working with a lot of high stress clients + toxic business situations.

❌ Systems?? What are those? I didn’t have a client process so not only was I confused in the beginning, but so were my clients.

❌ I scaled too quickly without knowing when/how to outsource so I was working 55+ hour weeks.

❌ I didn’t know how to do anything when it came to income as a 1099 and ended up owing over $25k in taxes in my first year because I didn’t save accordingly.

❌ I wasn’t able to retain high ticket clients, because I didn’t have a clear structure in my ability to create social media strategies

So… I had to take a step back and re-evaluate how I was going to build this business so it was not only SCALABLE💸, but… SUSTAINABLE. Burning out was not an option.

& NOW…
2024

✅ I have systems in place that allowed my business to scale to consistent +$25K months

✅ I outsource tasks to a small team of VA’s, and work about 25-30 hours a week in my social media management business

✅ I get to enjoy the perks of working when and where I want now that I am not spread so thin with my time + finances!

✅ I work with amazing small + mid-sized businesses and I have better client relationships than ever before.

✅ I focus on what actually matters: my services, my skills, my creativity, my systems (not my cameras and gadgets) to level up my client experience!

Alllll because I took steps back and re-evaluated and re-vamped everything I thought I knew by building this business from scratch… then I designed Scale School so you NEVER have to take MASSIVE steps back like I did and focus on 👩‍💼 🎉💸✨✈️ 😴💃

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

Social media managers have certain hurdles that not all business owners have to face. While there are challenges in ANY business, there are certain elements to mindset and perspective that really can transform a social media manager into a successful entrepreneur.

I took this poll on my Instagram stories and 312 social media managers responded. The question was “What is your biggest struggle in your business?”

You may experience all of these feelings at one point or another within your business, but inside Scale School - I have created PERSONALIZED lessons and exercises to help you navigate them as a freelance social media manager.

In addition, our guest training inside Scale School with alignment coach Kaylee Phillips is all about mindset + your human design within your business as well.

While, yes, we are going to get your systems and foundations set up RIGHT - we also want to get your mindset and your confidence right too #noburnoutclub 🔥
