How This Mom Grew Multiple 6-Figure Businesses From Home

If you’ve ever thought about working from home or starting a home-based business, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Carrie Wilkerson, also known as the Barefoot Executive. The Barefoot Executive is a website, community and bestselling book that she created to help work at-home professionals.
