In this episode, Jordan and I talk about his transition from freelancer to strategist, how he found his niche working with Amish farmers, and more.

• Transitioning from freelancer to strategist (and the steps he took in between)
• How he repositioned himself to sell more strategic offerings
• Exploring alternative niches before stumbling into a new niche—Amish farmers!
• How a "Golden Goose" relationship led to three clients (and counting)
• The benefits of aligning your personal identity with the niche you serve
• Using a performance-based compensation model with a fixed base and % of revenue
• How Jordan manages scope and delivers his engagements
• The benefits of a retainer-based model vs. only project work
• How Jordan plans to find more clients when his target market isn't online
• Mindset shifts around mass vs. small audience marketing (resonance)
