Episode 191: How to Design Your Perfect Freelance Business

Welcome to another solo episode, where I share my best marketing and business tips, plus other tips I have learned along the way. I recently read the book The freelance content marketing writer – by Jennifer Goforth Gregory. Towards the end she talks about how to design your perfect business. This really resonated with me, because we cannot thrive in our businesses, if we don’t enjoy it, if it isn’t a perfect fit for us.

Important things mentioned in this episode:

  • Why you need a marketing plan
  • Sample general marketing plan
  • Questions to help you design your perfect business

Now, building a business takes time and effort, especially a business that you love. Now that you’ve designed your perfect business, you have to figure out how to turn it into reality. If this seems overwhelming, you’re not alone. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, or try to do everything at once, I encourage you to start from where you are, start small and build from there. Pick two or three priorities from your list and figure out how to make these happen.

Now, I want you to take action. Find a moment during the next week to sit down and answer these questions. Then prioritize two and if you’re brave, share them in the comments, or in an email to me. I will share mine too. If you want step-by-step instructions for a marketing plan, you can check out the Quick Start Guide: 8 steps to a marketing plan.
