CCR318: Lizzie Mills builds a copywritin...

Kevin Rogers
About this episode

Lizzie Mills was just 20-yrs-old and a new mom when she joined Copy Chief as one of the first members through the door in 2014.

She felt like the greenest copywriter in the place, but not for long. 

The veteran copywriters were more than happy to guide her and show her the ropes. 

Today, Lizzie, along with her husband, Steve, lead their family business and have achieved more success than “she ever dreamed.”

All this, while growing their family of three to six, and homeschooling their four children.

During our conversation, Lizzie shares…

  • Her two biggest pieces of advice for new copywriters…

  • How she and Steve survived (and actually grew!) their business through the harsh Australian lockdowns (with only two clients)... 

  • Why going “in-house” was the best decision of her career…

And…

  • What her “empire” would look like if she decides to build one!
