Q: What do the online business industry and MLMs have in common?A: Way more than they should, unfortunately. Yet for some reason, the online biz world seems to direct a whole lot of vitriol towards MLMs (and really, lots of other business models). So where's the disconnect? How do people not see — or maybe not care — that the very thing they judge can be uncannily similar to the things they do? In this essay and podcast, I'm exploring the crossover between what's going on in the online business world and the way MLMs are run, and discuss why it's time for us to recognize how many of the unethical business and marketing practices are foundational to online business.

Are Online Businesses the New MLMs?

Growing a solo service business is tough. It's even harder when you're bombarded with BS advice that steers you away from your values and why you started your business in the first place. 

This is the podcast for solo creatives and consultants who want to remain as a team of one and have zero interest in the hustle and grind of typical business teachings. 

Most podcasts for solopreneurs and freelancers, hosted by out-of-touch celebrity entrepreneurs who haven't offered one-to-one services in years, miss the mark on today's market realities.

Maggie Patterson, a service business owner for 20 years, understands that to stay solo, you need to know what matters to you, what works for you, and what you should completely ignore. 

In each episode, she examines one piece of conventional business advice to discover how it may hurt your business or be completely wrong for you as a solo business owner. 

Join Maggie for real talk to help you avoid burnout or the desire to entirely burn down your business to open a flower shop, book store, or cat cafe. (Because those cats won't pay the bills.)
