#388: The 5 Hidden Dangers That Can Wipe Out a 6-Figure Freelance Business


Listen Later

You can spend years building a wildly successful six-figure (or multi-six-figure) freelance business...

Only to watch it crumble to dust.

Not because you sucked at your craft.

Not because you weren't talented enough.

But because you didn't defend yourself properly against a handful of silent killers.

One of these silent killers once cost me five weeks of work I had to make up for free.

(Could've been prevented. Wasn't. Sucked.)

So in this week's episode, I'm breaking down the five hidden dangers that can wipe out a six-figure freelance business (and more importantly, exactly how to defend yourself against each one).

Here's what we're tackling:

  • How to prevent burnout (you know, when you basically hate your clients and want to burn down your entire business) and recognize the warning signs before that happens.
  • The “give-a-mouse-a-cookie” problem that sucks away your profit (and one simple phrase that stops it).
  • The simple systems that keep you safe from the tax man (no, you can’t outsmart the system. Don’t try).
  • Legal essentials that protect your business (rare, but when they strike, they can wipe you out completely. Here’s how to stay out of the danger zone).
  • And the #1 completely preventable “silent killer” - payment issues.
  • You've worked too hard to build your business to let it get taken down by something completely avoidable.

    Let's make sure that doesn't happen.
