She Went From $1,500 Goals to $5K Months, Part Time

What if the biggest obstacle holding back your business is not money, time, marketing, experience, or your family responsibilities, but the size of your vision?In this episode of the E Forge Podcast, Cory Long sits down with entrepreneur and work-from-home mom Katie Hyden to reveal how her goals, confidence, and business changed after she entered a room that challenged what she believed was possible. Katie originally hoped to earn around $1,500 per month to help her family. Today, she has built a recurring income of roughly $5K per month while working part time, raising three young children, supporting her church, and helping her husband pursue their family’s fishing dreams.This conversation explores business mindset, faith, networking, recurring revenue, client acquisition, pricing, imposter syndrome, motherhood, and the power of surrounding yourself with successful people. Katie shares why she nearly quit, how five daily outreach attempts produced an unexpected networking opportunity, and why she stopped underselling her services.This episode is for Christian business owners, freelancers, work-from-home moms, ministry leaders, social media managers, and entrepreneurs who feel called to build something bigger but are struggling with fear, limited thinking, or difficult circumstances.
