The Liquid Lunch Project Entrepreneurship on a Budget with Sarah St. John
If you think you need Rockerfeller-type wealth or sell your soul to one of the Sharktank sharks to get your business off the ground and grow it, think again.
Today, we're sitting down with fellow entrepreneur, podcaster, and author, Sara St. John. She's the mind behind the successful marketing agency called PodPlanet, the host of the Frugalpreneur podcast, and the author of Bootstrapped Budget.
After going through six different jobs in less than a year, Sara realized she needed to work for herself. It was through a trial-and-error process exploring over 20 different online businesses (drop-shipping, blogging, print-on-demand, etc.) she discovered a lot of free and affordable resources to run a business on a budget. So she wrote a book about it and then started a podcast, and now she’s using her experience and expertise to help other small business owners learn how to be frugal-preneurs and tap into the power of podcasting. She’s never gone into debt for a business…and typically spends no more than $100 to run them.
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur looking for a bit of guidance or a business owner who wants to explore podcasting as a way to grow and scale your operations, tune in to our conversation and learn how Sara St. John can help you.
