750. Growing a $2M Product Business While Working Full-Time with Caroline Gilman

Thinking about quitting your job, but scared it won’t work? In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Gilman, founder of Atlantic Blue Canvas, who grew her product-based business to $2 million in revenue while still working full-time as a CPA. We talk about the mindset of letting go of control, trusting others, and learning how to “fire yourself” from the things holding your business back. Caroline shares what made her leave corporate, the identity shift that had to happen first, and why hitting a revenue milestone alone isn’t what gives you the confidence to go all in. Tune in to learn what it actually looks like to scale, let go, and step into your next level.
