Freelance to Founder

Hiring 50 Contractors in a Year (Whew!)


Listen Later

On today’s show, we talk with Karl who’s holding on tight while his writing business is growing fast. 

After writing for a few highly technical development blogs, Karl’s business exploded and he now works with 50 writers to deliver articles for his clients.

And while Karl is crushing it by some standards (his writing business has quadrupled since January), he’s naturally feeling like a bottleneck in his fast-expanding business.

Clay and I have a fiery chat with Karl where we uncover what has done right in his business to experience massive growth and some tough truths about what he has to do next in order to stay on track and not slow his own business down.
