Freelance to Founder

How to Stay Motivated While You Grow


Listen Later

On today’s show, we chat with Mateo Melgar who’s calling in from Mexico. Mateo has been working hard as a freelancer and making pretty great money at it too. But even with all his success, Mateo still feels like he’s just trading his hourly work for a paycheck. He’s ready to go from freelancer to agency and build a business that makes money beyond himself.

But being ready and actually feeling motivated and accountable are two very different things. So Clay and I help Mateo break down a few ways he can stay motivated to get important tasks done and stay accountable to the vision of his future.
