Today we’d like to introduce you to Meg Harrell.
Hi Meg, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started my blog and business in 2016 when I was feeling burnt out as a nurse.
I wrote about family travel tips and minimalist home inspiration. My page grew as I learned how to “rank on google” and navigate the social media algorithms. After a few years of persistent hard work, companies like Disney started to reach out and validate my work as a digital creator.
Today, I run 2 brands, a 6 figure business LLC, all while still being able to be home and homeschool my children. I am so grateful for the push and support from my husband who told me to dream big and never stop working towards my goals.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Building a business is never a smooth road, but it’s especially rocky when you have no experience or idea of what you are doing!
I didn’t have any money to invest in the business at first so I did everything on my own. I learned how to build a website, photography skills, social media strategy, how to pitch myself, what affiliate marketing was, how to model products and myself in front of the camera, how to build an audience and nurture them, how to teach in the online space and how to create business models that help people.
I’ve struggled with feelings of despair and giving up when I made no money. I lost money in the first 2 years. I invested so much time and money at the beginning that a reasonable person would say, “This is clearly not working, quit and focus on your day job”. But I’ve never been a reasonable woman. I knew if I invested and stayed consistent that there would be a blossoming business on the other end.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I currently run 2 brands.
The MEGFORIT brand is a lifestyle brand that inspires millennials to declutter their homes and experience the world around them. I encourage my readers to buy less and live more. I am not the typical influencers that are always pushing products – instead, I advise on beautiful destinations and how to make your home a tranquil organized oasis.
The NURSEMEG brand is a fun educational brand that helps nursing students and brand new nurses thrive in their healthcare journey. I use my 12 years of nursing experience to revolutionize this next generation of nurses to be more educated, supported, and skilled than ever before.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned as a digital creator is that anything is possible with the internet. We can all share our stories and build a business that matters because of our interconnectivity.
