On today’s show: is it even worth trying to grow your freelance business?

That’s where Rakesh finds himself. He gets most of his clients from freelancing platforms like Upwork. 

And the market for web designers and developers is just so saturated, he doesn’t even know if he should continue with his business. 

If you’ve ever felt this way, today’s show is for you. It all starts right now on this episode of Freelance to Founder.

Oh, and really quickly before we start: the audio on this episode is a bit rough. We’ve done our best to clean it up. But between the audio and Rakesh’s very thick accent, you may have to focus extra to follow along. But we believe it’s important to share stories from all over the world whether a guest has a quality mic setup or a flawless accent. Thanks for supporting us as we support freelancers around the world. Ok, now on to the show.

That’s just one of many questions we got today from our guest, Cathal, calling in from Germany.

On today’s show: should you spread yourself across each of your client’s project management tools? Or should you make them join yours?

It’s a question Taylor’s facing as she grows her business. 

We spoke with Taylor about a year ago, and things are going great. 

But she works with so many clients now; they each have their preferred project management tool. 

So, should she keep going from tool to tool? Or make her clients join a single platform that she manages?

We’ll discuss that and more on today’s episode of Freelance to Founder.

On today’s show: how does working less while making more money sound?

Of course, it sounds fantastic! But actually, making it happen is much more complicated.

That’s where I find today’s call-in guest, Diana. She’s been freelancing for almost a year and has begun asking herself: what’s next?

Diana left her corporate job to pursue freedom through freelancing. Now, a year later, she’s ready to dial it up and free up time to be with her three boys while still bringing in the revenue her family needs.

If you’re ready to work less while making more, then stay tuned to this episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go.
