159. What If I’m Not Crafty?? How to Get Paid for What You Know with Multi-Passionate Milspouse Entrepreneur Karamel McCoy

You know the challenges of finding a job as a military spouse. You love the idea of being able to start your own business and work from home. But if you’re not a baker or a crafter, what can you do?

 

Today’s guest can answer that question. Karamel McCoy is a veteran military spouse, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, the founder of Women Travel Abroad, cohost of the top 1% podcast, CEO Chronicalx, a business mentor and the owner of a co-working space in Kansas City. Whew!

 

Karamel is a firm believer that you have more expertise than you think! It might just take thinking a little outside the box. As a serial entrepreneur, Karamel has done everything from working a traditional job, to creating lip balm, starting a tax preparation service, and creating gift baskets. She once even tried her hand at starting a catering business (you’ll have to listen to hear how that one ended).

 

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to figure out what you have to offer
• How to pivot (and why it’s okay to let go of something good)
• What to do when you feel stuck
• Options for monetizing
• The first three action steps Karamel believes you should take
• Why your unique work history (or lack therof) can actually be an advantage

 

With decades of experience and lessons learned, Karamel is excited to share her expertise and help other military spouses feel empowered to take action and start something new.

 

Better Together,

Christine
