We are still in the midst of the Content Pro series which is why I am SO excited to welcome today’s guest to the show.   This is actually an unplanned interview and ended up being one of my favorites to date for a few reasons: Paul Scrivens aka Scrivs is my blogging coach. I joined his program when it was called Billionaire Blog Club, then Dare to Conquer, now Odd Noodle. And I’ve been a student of his as he's transitioned from focusing on making money blogging to building an online business using a blog as a tool. One of the reasons people love Odd Noodle and Blog Simple Framework so much is because of the tough love, the humor, and the continuous learning environment, all of which you get a taste of in this episode. Lastly, I’m excited because I got to talk to him more about a free, 10-day event that he’s producing, starting Saturday August 1, 2020. It’s called the Odd Noodle Business Odyssey and it's a FREE event where you basically get the information and insight you need to answer the question: Can I Start an Online Business?

She started blogging 3 years ago because although she enjoyed being a mom, she constantly felt there was more she could be doing with her life.
