Welcome to the new year, everybody! I'm kicking off 2016 with an incredible success story from a very special guest, Carrie Clark.

Carrie, a speech therapist by trade, runs SpeechandLanguageKids.com. Though she loved her private speech therapy practice and the school where she worked, she grew frustrated with the limitations of those jobs and their drain on her time and energy. Carrie knew she could be earning more and serving her patients better.

Through smart monetization, community building, and a wildly successful membership program, Carrie turned her website into an amazing passive income success story. She's here today to share the tools and strategies she used, as well as the resources that helped her along the way.

I love sharing listener success stories from folks like Carrie. Her passion, patience, and commitment to serving her audience are truly inspirational. Listen in, and get inspired to do some great work of your own!

Thanks for Listening!
