The Freelance Business Model

Back when I started my business, we didn’t have all the fancy lingo and versions of -preneur that we use now. You either owned a business, which basically implied that you had a brick and mortar store or an office somewhere, or you were a hired gun, a solo show that did contract work as a freelancer.  Since then, the world of work has changed dramatically, and where I used to get a raised eyebrow and a look of skepticism when I shared what I did for work, now I’m met with far more respect and curiosity. The truth is, more and more people are stepping out of traditional work, and the idea of being the boss isn’t so crazy anymore. In this episode of the Small Business Boss podcast, we’re talking about the freelancer business model — especially the #1 thing you need to work on as a boss.

Stop Obsessing Over Scale

Newsflash: Scaling doesn’t equal success for your business. There’s a fundamental misconception in the online business world that scale immediately means more money and that magically scaling up your business is the only way to meet our money goals. Plus, the very definition of what “scale” actually is, well, it’s misunderstood. We need to stop chasing scale, and focus in on what most of us really want, which is to MAKE AND KEEP  more money in our business.  In this episode of the Small Business Boss I discuss: 🔥The online obsession with scale and how it’s actually the wrong thing for a lot of businesses.  🔥The path to making and keeping more money as a service business owner.  🔥The fastest way to be more profitable that you can implement starting TODAY.

Jo Casey on Feminine Conditioning

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? Or why exactly you’re throwing up obstacles in your own path with stories and reasons why you can’t do certain things? In this episode, Jo Casey is going to help us unpack this and so much more. You’ve probably heard that there’s no greater self-development journey than running your own business. And I know that’s definitely been the case for me. Being a boss has stretched me and pushed me in ways that I never expected and constantly forces me to deal with what’s really going on in my head.  I’m sure it’s much the same for you, so I invited Jo Casey to help us examine why we do what we do and how we may be holding ourselves back. And while much of our discussion does speak to feminine conditioning, there are some amazing lessons in here — no matter what gender you are. Get the scoop here: www.smallbusinessboss.co/episode177
