Monica Fullerton is the Founder and CEO of Spouse-ly, a central hub for driving support for entrepreneurs in the military and first responders community. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Multi-Media Journalism and a Master of Business Administration and Marketing from Lynn University. As an Air Force spouse, twin mom, and entrepreneur, Monica wanted to strive for a greater purpose with her business idea. She has been named a trailblazer in Tech by Military Spouse Magazine, Forbes Next 1000 List, and one of the MIGHTY 25 most influential leaders supporting the military community.
Today, Monica shares what inspired the idea behind Spouse-ly and how it helps members of the military and their families. She reveals how she found creators for her platform and critical learnings from initially testing her idea in a Facebook group. She highlights some of the big wins Spouse-ly has celebrated along the way and how networking and community has helped her business grow. We also explore how you can find the balance between raising brand awareness and sharing your mission and how to expand your team when bootstrapping your business.
“Just taking that first step of getting out there and getting in front of people that are your possible customers or vendors, whatever it might be, is the first step of pushing forward.”- Monica Fullerton
