A Build Remote customer story
Mirlene Hilaire
From Rock Bottom to $35K/Month: Mirlene’s Story of Grief, Grit, and Growth
Results reported in the original Build Remote case study. Individual outcomes vary; revenue is not profit.
When Mirlene joined Build Remote, she wasn’t expecting to face a life-altering loss.
She came in hopeful—ready to finally build a business she could call her own. But just weeks into the program, grief knocked her off track. She wasn’t in launch mode. She was in survival mode.
She didn’t quit. But she had to pause.
Picking Up the Pieces
During that season, Mirlene’s family stepped in to help. They helped her stay connected to the process—reviewing the Build Remote training, setting up her ads, and getting her Google Business Profile live.
Even when she didn’t have the energy to keep going alone, her support system helped her take the next step. And little by little, momentum returned.
By Month 2, she had passed the $5,000 revenue mark. By Month 3, she soared past the $10,000 mark and made it to $15,000 in revenue.
“Month one, I couldn’t even show up. I was discouraged, grieving, and just trying to get through each day.”
The Breakthrough
Once the systems were in place and Mirlene found her rhythm again, things started to move—fast.
By Month 3, she had surpassed $15,000 in revenue.
By Month 4, she passed the $35,000/month mark—and has been scaling ever since.
This wasn’t a fluke. It was the result of staying in the game, trusting the process, and following through even when life got hard.
What Made the Difference
Mirlene’s story stands out because it’s not just about success—it’s about resilience.
Most people pause when life gets heavy. Mirlene did too. But she didn’t stay down. She gave herself time to grieve. And when she was ready, she came back—with clarity, intention, and real support from both her family and the Build Remote community.
Her business is now bringing in more revenue than many full-time jobs, and she’s doing it while staying true to her journey and her timing.
Build Remote Wins
Her success didn’t go unnoticed inside the community.
From her first Skool win post to the comment threads filled with encouragement, Mirlene became a quiet powerhouse in the Build Remote ecosystem—proving that even when your journey doesn’t start strong, it can still finish big.
What Her Story Proves
Not everyone starts strong. Some, like Mirlene, start over. She didn’t have a fast launch—but she still built something incredible.
If you’ve felt like life keeps getting in the way… or like your window has already closed… her story is proof that it hasn’t. You can take your time. You can start again.
You just have to stay in it long enough to see what’s possible.
