Everyone fantasizes about what it would feel like to have more time in a day or even to clone yourself. Of course, that is not literally possible - but it is possible to scale your own capacity and get more done. 

The gig economy allows for professionals to do more with less time, along with even improving quality output with a faster turnaround - all at lower costs. 

On today's episode of Gig Mindset, I interview Ken Circeo. He is a Creative Director at Microsoft. He's figured out how to essentially clone himself in the workplace, going from making 1 video per week up to 15 videos per week. 

Through platforms like Upwork, Ken built a workflow that optimized creative output and helped him continue to progress in his career. Each day is more fun and more satisfying. 

So get ready to learn to optimize yourself, embrace change, and redefine your work life.
