Moving from expert for hire to business owner with Amy Posner

Permission to Kick Ass

Today's guest is my long-time friend Amy Posner, and let me tell you, this woman is a force of nature. As a serial entrepreneur, copywriter, and business coach, Amy has been through it all, and she's not afraid to get real about the ups and downs of building a sustainable business while staying true to yourself.
Can't-miss moments:

• One question every entrepreneur should ask themselves: Amy reveals why being selective is actually a business accelerator...
  
• The real reason why you might be struggling to get people to pay your rates (this is a much easier problem to solve than it might seem)...
  
• When life gets in the way: how to build resilience and rest into your business when you get knocked down (you're going to be seriously inspired by Amy's story)...
  
• Good news/bad news: there's more than one way to solve a problem, so your approach might just work. Here's how to bust yourself out of analysis paralysis and get moving...
  
• Are you auditioning for your clients, or evaluating them as potential partners? Here's how to tell whether you're unintentionally "unpositioning" yourself (and what to do about it)...
