32: How Many Unpaid Jobs Do You Have?


Listen Later

They say when you become an entrepreneur, you trade your 8 hour day for an 18 hour day, which, is kind of true in some ways. BUT.... what about all of the time that you allow to become a part of your workday?
 
You know? Those unpaid jobs that you keep doing out of obligation to clients and friends and family..

Well I would like to hit this problem head on today and figure out exactly how to eliminate some of those unpaid jobs that you have!

In this unfiltered episode, I will discuss:
🛑 How to recognize the jobs you are working for free
🛑 How to combat the urge to keep saying yes (and learning to say no) to both clients AND friends)
🛑 How to FINALLY get paid for those unpaid jobs
🛑 How to feel great about all of this!

Hate me or love me, I'm speaking the truth to you and it's all for your benefit. Now put those earbuds in and let's get started!
