SPI 805: Stop Thinking like a Freelancer...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#805 Even if you're working solo, going from freelancer to business owner is a powerful mindset shift you can make right now. In fact, just seeing yourself in this new light is enough to unlock opportunities and allow you to charge more for the services you're offering! Today's guest, Hope Trory, is the perfect example of someone who has leveraged this perspective trick to level up. Like me, she had to give up on an architecture career to follow her true calling. Now, Hope is an online marketing pro helping her clients build lead-generation systems that bring in more business and free up time for meaningful work. Listen in for Hope's story and our tips for overcoming the sunk cost fallacy, finding your niche, and becoming the expert your clients need! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session805.
