Achieving the goal to work from home means taking the first step. And sometimes figuring out the first step is the hardest part. If you are anything like me learning about how others have done something helps clarify the path and motivates you
I’ve started a real life work from home success stories series because I know how helpful it is to learn about other people’s experiences. I’m providing you with interviews of people who took the first step, then the next step and then the next step.
These online and traditional entrepreneurs are sharing everything from why they started their businesses to lessons they’ve learned.
I’m kicking off this series by talking with two bloggers. Blogging is a hot topic on Pinterest. If you’ve searched for information about work from home jobs, it’s hard to miss the “how to start a blog” pins and articles. Whether or not blogging is something you are interested in, online business owners experience similar issues as other solopreneurs

Real Life Work from Home Success Stories
Kimberly at Organized Home School is a mom of four and a certified CPA for 25 years. While reflecting on her birthday, Kimberly discovered she wanted more out of her career. She transitioned her full-time CPA career into a part-home home business while growing a side-hustle blog into a new full-time career.
Kimberly uses what she knows, her experience as a career mom running a busy home, to teach other moms how to accomplish more.

I also recently interviewed Kelan from The Savvy Couple. Kelan tried out traditional job after job before deciding to commit to blogging full time. He and his wife saved up enough money for him to take on this endeavor.
Kelan shared on if his biggest lessons learned – to be successful as an online business owner you have to be yourself. He’s also shared how he and his wife are able to make over $10,000 a month by helping people.
