474: The CEO Mindset Shift: How to Stop Thinking Like a Freelancer and Start Thinking Like a Founder


Listen Later

Are you building a business, or did you accidentally create a high-demand job that’s giving you less return than your 9–5 ever did?

In this episode, Natalie is breaking down the most important mindset shift you can make as an entrepreneur: thinking like a founder instead of a freelancer. Because even if you're working solo, your business still needs systems, structure, and scalability - otherwise, it’s just a hustle with a new title.

If you’re ready to reclaim your time, build something that works for you (not just because of you), and finally stop doing it all alone, this one’s for you.
