Is having a "Plan B" holding you back from your success moment?
It's another beautiful day in Orbit City and we welcome you back to Freelancing in Orbit City! Today we meet with Connor Williamson founder of All Bikes All Day apparel.
Talking with Connor is like talking to an old friend. We apologize now for getting off track. Today we chat about:
1. Should you have a plan b before you start freelancing or business building?
2. What are you willing to sacrifice and what you shouldn't sacrifice.
3. The power of authenticity
It was incredibly fun to meet with Connor and I am excited to bring him back for the weeks to come.

You're a COACH not a MENTOR!
It's another beautiful day in Orbit City! Thanks for coming to listen to the Freelancing in Orbit City podcast. This episode is all about mentorship and coaching.
We dive into the difference between the two; responsibilities of mentees, and of course, I go into a heated rant about why YOU SHOULD NOT BE CHARGING FREELANCERS FOR MENTORSHIP!

Working in silence is for the birds!!
Welcome back to another episode of Freelancing in Orbit City.
I wanted to take time to talk about "working in silence" and how the negatives dramatically outweigh the positives.
Don't let lack of confidence or fear of the unkncown stop you from doing what you know you need to do.
Working in public might just be the one thing that pushes you the fastest towards Life/work balance and any other goal along the way!

What Instagram didn't tell you about "Write-offs", tax payments, and staying in your lane!
Welcome back to another episode of Freelancing in Orbit City! In this episode, we talk about finances as a freelancer, independent, or solopreneur. Basically, if you're 1099 you need to be here!
We jump back in time to April 29th, 2022 when I met with Robert Carper, a Finacial Advisor who helps me understand why I need a CPA quick!
There are gold nuggets sprinkled throughout as we talk about what to do with receipts, what exactly a write-off is, and how you probably should be paying QUARTERLY TAXES!
