Today's question comes from Mel in our Facebook Mastermind Group. You can join here.Mel says, "I've worked freelance for the same company for three years.

Today's question comes from Laura Bean. Laura submitted a question at freelance to founder.com/ask. And I love this question because it's been on my mind lately. Clay and I talked before we hit record about this AI and artificial intelligence and how it impacts our freelancer jobs.She said, "The recent launch of chat GPT and other AI advances have led me to question how I future-proof my business." So just for context, she's a copywriter. And I think I think writers are mainly concerned right now, but I digress. She says, "How do I future-proof my business in a world where I am in a profession that AI could completely take over? I don't think it's there yet. But it means significant changes to my industry. I'm sure I'm not the only copywriter with concerns. However, despite concerns, I also want to learn how to embrace this technology. Have you any thoughts about how you future proof of service-based business potentially competing with AI, or how we as copywriters integrate AI into our services?"This episode was originally aired on February 21, 2023.To submit your question, visit FreelanceToFounder.com/ASK, and we'll feature you on an upcoming episode.Listen to our full-length coaching calls: http://freelancetofounder.comSupport our Episode Sponsors: LinkedIn Jobs - Find the candidates you want to talk to, faster Dripify - Premium learning platform for entrepreneurs SolidGigs - Get more freelance jobs Freelance to Founder is made in partnership between Millo, Dripify, and The Podglomerate.

On today’s episode: how do people react when you give them your elevator pitch—you know, that 30-second pitch about what you do as a freelancer or agency? Is it with a “yawn” or a “YES”?In today’s episode, we coach Miljan through some improvements he can make to perfect his pitch.Sometimes, we’re just too close to our own work to realize that our jargon-heavy pitch explains too much about the “how” and not enough about the “why”—or the result our clients need.This episode is fire.
