In today’s case study, we explore how a stay-at-home mom was able to build a business that makes $10K a month and employs other moms and primary caregivers. Kara Hoholik is the founder of Social For Good Co., a social impact marketing agency that helps small businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits amplify their message through compelling content and building a community around their work.

Before joining our 12 month Cubicle to CEO mentorship program, Kara used to charge between $200-$500 for her services, and would even lose money working with some of her clients. Now her services start at $2,000 monthly retainers, and her work has been featured on The List TV, Ticker News, and the New York Times.

Listen to this episode to hear how you can apply the same intentionality Kara has mastered to uplevel the clientele you’re attracting and your pricing!
