E239|Build a part-time, flexible business that lights you up just like Lois Cox
Freedom.
Whether it’s time or financial freedom, we’d all love to live our lives with more free time and money in the bank. 👌🏼
But too many of us are stuck with our noses to the grindstone, thinking a never-ending cycle of eat, sleep, work a gazillion hours, repeat, is the only way to achieve this. 🤯
So we called up Lois Cox, a TechPixie who has created a business that allows her to work flexibly part-time so she can prioritise time with her son to show you that with the right skills in place, running a business doesn’t have to be all-consuming.
Lois is also one of the many women who do our Social Media Management Certification training despite not wanting to be a social media manager. Instead, Lois has used our training to ensure she’s up-to-date with the latest changes to the platforms and has the necessary knowledge to advise her clients on their strategy and sales development. 💪🏽
