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.)

Have you ever daydreamed about chucking it all in and leaving your business behind for something new? 

While this daydream isn’t uncommon, it’s often hard to conceptualize how (or why!) you’d walk away from a thriving business. 

In the last Exits and Evolution series interview, I interviewed fractional integrator and operations strategist AdeOla Fadumiye.

Adeola boldly shut down a business that worked for her as she wanted different challenges and opportunities. 

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • Why AdeOla shut down her podcast production agency and what led to that gut-driven decision.

  • What’s she been doing since sunsetting her agency and how has she figured out what’s next? 

  • How consulting gigs have helped her clarify what she wants to focus on moving ahead. 

  • Why she’s looking for a 9-to-5 role as she builds up her new venture. 

  • AdeOla’s advice for anyone wanting to make a big move in their business.
