The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss Claire Pelletreau

What do you do if your business is no longer bringing you the joy it once did? That’s something Emylee Williams knows a lot about.

She joined me for the third time on the Get Paid Podcast to share the reality of wearing many hats and having plenty of creative interests as an entrepreneur. Today we’re getting into the very real emotional and practical aspects of rebuilding a business from scratch.

Coping strategies for dealing with the financial and emotional impact of drastic income changes
Balancing creativity and practicality in running multiple ventures, including publishing new books

This is my open letter to business coaches. 
There’s some (perhaps well-meaning) advice too many coaches give to their clients. 
I know the intention is to reduce risk for your clients. But, most of the time, you’re setting them up for slower, more painful business growth. 
Today, I want to tell you exactly why you need to stop telling clients to wait until their business is bigger before they run ads. 
 
This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:
Why I’m mad at business coaches (and, yes, I still I love you) 
You can’t learn what works without this one crucial ingredient 
Some of you are accidentally setting your clients up for failure
Why ads are often less risky than relying on an organic model for growth
Organic social media marketing isn’t enough (or even that effective anymore) to help us learn about and improve our messaging 
What really goes into ads for businesses at an earlier stage (and with a smaller budget)
