Freelance to Founder Podglomerate

On today’s show: can you ever step away from your business? Or are you doomed as an entrepreneur to never enjoy a vacation or time off ever again?
That’s just part of what we talk about with our guest Jim who’s calling back for a second time on today’s episode.
Jim has quit his job and taken his business full-time. But now he wonders: how do I take the next step so I can work more ON my business than IN my business.
If you’re wondering the same, then stay tuned because we answer that and lots more on today’s episode of freelance to founder. Here we go.

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.
