Do you know the feeling? "Maybe I'm not as capable as people seem to think I am." "When is the hammer going to fall. I'm sure they know that I'm not the real deal."

It is Imposter Syndrome, and for many people it's a very real thing that effects their daily lives and their businesses. It's a feeling that Paul Larsen with The Find Your V.O.I.C.E. as a Leader™ Institute is all too familiar with. As a survivor of this condition, and now a teacher and coach for those still in this place, Paul comes to the table with some amazing expert advice to help you find the other side while celebrating imposter syndrome, as impossible as that may sound.

What is the gig economy and why does it matter to you as a small business owner? In many cases, it's because small businesses are the gig economy, or because it can be an affordable staffing solution, especially for new business owners.

The basic definition comes down to temporary, and typically flexible jobs that are commonplace positions where a company can hire independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees to fill these positions. At the moment, it's estimated that about one third of the working population already works in some sort of gig capacity.

Today's guest, Lea Wold from Checkmark Project, could be considered one of these businesses. She provides fractional and scalable implementation for other small businesses. Her clients are tech firms and professional and financial service business owners who lack the internal resources to execute on their own. Join Lea, and your host, Nancee Johnson, for a discussion around what's working and what doesn’t in the gig economy.

Guest Bio
