Passion to Profit: How Fran monetised her Side Hustle with SHWOS

Lauren Leopold Season 1 Episode 33

If you’re sat there right now dreaming about how to turn your side hustle passion project into a real, legit business, then this episode is for you. 

I’m talking to my fabulous client Fran who after getting bored and burnt out with her monotonous nine-to-five, created an Instagram account dedicated to her passion for interior design and amassed a big following. The problem? She was struggling to convert her social influence into actual paying clients.

Listen as Fran reveals how she got her first 2 paying clients in less than 6 weeks and gets raw and real about navigating some serious mindset hurdles in the process. 

Fran’s story is a testament that with the right guidance, fierce determination, and a sprinkle of f*ck-it-all bravery, your dream business is within reach. 

"The only way to learn and grow is by being scrappy and trying different things. Only then will you understand what works for you and your clients." – Fran Whittingham Hunn
