#220: The Busy Freelancer's Guide To Getting Your Time Back (By Building Systems That Scale) | With Rachael Mueller


Listen Later

Every successful freelancer has hit that wall where you can't say yes to even ONE more project...this is usually the same time you start getting more inquiries than you've ever seen before.

In these busy seasons of business, there are a few options you could take...

  1. You could turn down all those extra projects (and say goodbye to that extra $$$).
  2. You could say "yes" to those projects and just hate your life for the next few weeks or months while you scramble to deliver (this is the route most of us take).
  3. You take the responsible, profitable, healthy route of building systems that scale.
  4. If you hate money, you'll probably take option 1 and turn down those extra projects. If you're irresponsible and want to live in a state of overwhelm, you'll take option 2.

    If you're a responsible, mature business owner, you'll go with option 3 and build systems that help you deliver high-quality work faster, more efficiently, and without dropping the ball or overwhelming yourself.

    In this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I interviewed systems expert Rachael Mueller. She's a virtual COO that helps service-based business owners plan, create, and manage systems that scale so you can take on more projects in less time.

    If you're overwhelmed, working too much, or just feel like you have WAY too many project details floating around in your brain, and you're not sure what to do, this episode is for you.

    In this episode you’ll discover:

    • Making your business run smoothly
    • Unloading your mind to focus on creativity
    • Flow charts - they're not just for nerds
    • Setting up your systems for success
    • The three key systems any business needs
    • Using templates to cut out wasted time
    • Logging your time to see where it goes
