Ep 05: Are You a Scrappy Freelancer?

<p>Welcome back to the Yay for Business Podcast. In the last episode, I spoke about the 3 Stages of Business and gave you an overview of each stage. In today's episode and the two episodes after this one, I will dive deeper into each stage, starting with the Scrappy Freelancer.</p><p>The first stage, where most of us start, is: The Scrappy Freelancer. This stage is defined by the Feast and Famine Cycle. In this stage, you're constantly "hunting" to get clients, and you create a custom proposal for each client. </p><p> But I also want to celebrate this stage with you, because this is the first stage of being a business owner. So congratulations on striking out on your own. You actually took the initiative to make money!</p><p>What exactly is the Feast and Famine Cycle, and what is the next stage of business? That's what I will share with you today. I will illustrate verbally what needs to happen so you can go from the Feast and Famine Cycle to the Consistent Clients Cycle, AKA The Booked Out Cycle.<br /> </p><p>Are you ready to go to the next stage of your business? I created a FREE masterclass for you, "The Get More Clients Method." This is a 3 phase method where I show you how to create your signature service. How do you launch it? And how do you book clients?
