Staying Solo

Growing a solo service business is tough. It’s even harder when you’re bombarded with BS advice that steers you away from your values and why you started your business in the first place. This is the podcast for solo creatives and consultants who want to remain as a team of one and have zero interest in the hustle and grind of typical business teachings. Most podcasts for solopreneurs and freelancers, hosted by out-of-touch celebrity entrepreneurs who haven't offered one-to-one services in years, miss the mark on today's market realities. Maggie Patterson, a service business owner for over 19 years, understands that to stay solo, you need to know what matters to you, what works for you, and what you should completely ignore. In each episode, she examines one piece of conventional business advice to discover how it may hurt your business or be completely wrong for you as a solo business owner. Join Maggie for real talk to help you avoid burnout or the desire to entirely burn down your business to open a flower shop, book store, or cat cafe. (Because those cats won’t pay the bills.)

When it comes to bad business advice, some of the worst I’ve ever received was about my financials. 

And even if you’re pulling in good money, following lousy advice can leave you underpaid and constantly feeling like you're scrambling for every dollar. 

You’re working for your money, but your money definitely isn’t working for you. 

In this episode, I’m kicking off a new series about the numbers you need to know in your business. We'll start with a fresh look at your financials so your math adds up and gets you paid. 

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • What to do if you’ve been derailed by BS financial advice.

  • Why your numbers provide critical data to make good business decisions.

  • How can you get to know your numbers better and become comfortable using them as a strategic tool in your business?

  • How to analyze your numbers and spot trends. 

  • Managing expenses and effective budgeting.

  • Understanding your profit margin. 

  • How to pay yourself a consistent salary. 

  • Practical things to go away and implement in your business related to your financials.
