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.)

Maggie is very experienced in small business and gives really great advice and insights into the small business world. I really enjoy that she does not simply talk crap about people, but offers solutions to how we can be more transparent, honest, and authentic in our businesses while still making money. We don't need to use tricks to get people to trust us and buy from us.
Refreshing! Definitely a must-listen for online business owners

I love Maggie’s no-BS approach, and how she’s actually “in the trenches” as an agency owner and service provider.

Maggie's experience and expertise are evident in the content she shares in this podcast. Here honest and "bs-free" is a real breath of free air in the market. I highly recommend listening in!
Great info but please slow down!!

The information given here is stellar business advice! But the one critic I would say is please please please slow down your pace of speaking. I get out of breath just listening to you on the podcast and get increase in anxiety just trying to keep up with everything that you’re saying. Please take a breath, pause, just like we are taught with public speaking. I often take notes during the podcast but the pace at which you are going results in me having to rewind 20 times during an episode. I feel as though we would be able to absorb and reflect on the information given more effectively if the pace was slowed down. I’m not sure if you naturally speak very quickly or if it is for the sake of time with recording the podcast but I believe we would all be better served with a slower pace taking a breath and allowing the consumer to absorb the information. But I love the content! Very helpful
Totally loving this podcast! So glad I found it!

I am a newbie to this podcast, so I’ve been binge listening the past week. :) I love the fabulous dynamic between you two! It is not only helpful info, but it feels so natural like I’m just chatting with my bff. All I can say is please keep doing what you’re doing, and I can’t wait to soak up all the goodness. Thank you!!
