So ya wanna be a... Nonprofit Marketing Consultant with Katelyn Baughan, Founder of KB Digital
“It’s hard for me not to have that much work right now because I feel like we are all so conditioned to be working all the time and to be busy. Our worth is tied to how much work we do or how much money we bring in or how productive we are. We’re all so proud of being busy and not having time to do whatever it is. And so right now my lesson is to just learn how to be. I don't have to be doing it to feel like I'm worth something."
We’re excited to introduce you to Katelyn Baughan, founder of KB Digital—a marketing consultancy for nonprofits—and a Mama of two. In this episode, we discuss her journey from the traditional workforce to starting her own business.
She describes why she decided to go out on her own, how she landed her first few clients, what life is like now that she is in full control of her time and energy, the dreams she has for the growth of her business, what it looks like to hire and manage subcontractors, and so much more.
