#385: Booked Solid? Here’s What Comes Next for (Some) Serious Creatives

The vast majority of freelancers want one thing: more clients. But what if that’s not your biggest problem? What if you’re booked solid… And now the “good problem to have” is that you can’t ever take a vacation because your income is tied to the hours you work? It’s a dollars-for-hours trap. No work = no money. Vacation? You're not making money. Get sick? Not making money. In the hospital? Not making money. Your income is handcuffed to the hours you work. And there's a ceiling. A theoretical maximum. You can inch it up by raising your rates, but eventually... that's it. That's your max. Some people are cool with that. If you’d like a future where you’re making great money NOT trading dollars for hours… Where you “outgrow” freelancing and transition your expertise into something more scalable… This episode is for you. Should I start an agency? Sell software/products? Or - should I start teaching what I know and build a coaching business? In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of each, and why I think creating a scalable coaching offer is the way to go (spoiler alert: it’s the one I’ve gone all in on, which is why you’re reading this).
