Synopsis
Experience what it’s really like to start and build an online business. We are Paul and Catherine Middlebrooks. The show is a real-time document of our progress. We forge, fail, and stumble forward in our goal to transition from full-time employees to full-time online entrepreneurs. Each episode we explore a theme, give some tips, share our recent accomplishments and upcoming goals, and we end each show discussing how it all feels (thanks, Catherine). We are not entrepreneurial experts, but we do take and test the advice of many expert how-to shows, like Internet Business Mastery, Smart Passive Income, Entrepreneur on Fire, Fizzle. Come along as we fail our way to freedom.
