In this episode, we dive into the critical mindset shift that separates successful nurse writers from those stuck in the gig-to-gig grind. Are you reacting like a freelancer or planning like a founder? Learn the difference—and why it matters for your income, confidence, and long-term success.

Are You A Freelancer or Founder?

Key Takeaways:

• Freelancer vs. Founder: The Core Difference
  Freelancers trade time for money. Founders build systems and set strategic goals.
• Stop Chasing Gigs
  A founder creates pipelines, set income goals, and market consistently—even when busy.
• Proactive Lead Gen Tactics
  → Check LinkedIn daily
  → Send 3 pitches a week
  → Focus on building retainer relationships
• Pricing Strategically, Not Emotionally
  Quote rates based on value and expertise, not fear or inexperience.
• Work ON the Business, Not Just IN It
  Schedule CEO time: review goals, update offers, optimize systems regularly.
• Actionable Tip:
  Label your tasks as F (Freelancer) or T (Founder) to evaluate where you’re spending your time and energy.
