The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Maggie Patterson: A Business Breakup


Listen Later

Maggie started her first business at the age of seven and has been setting up small businesses ever since. A communications strategist with more than 20 years of experience, Maggie has made a career of working in and running small businesses. While she’s worked with some of the world’s biggest brands, she’s always rooted for the scrappy underdog.

 

Maggie owns Small Business Boss and Scoop Studios, where she helps small to mid-sized companies reach business goals through compelling content. Now she’s back on the Get Paid Podcast for this week’s episode of Where Are They Now, to talk about how her business has evolved since we last spoke in 2015.

 

“I don't think there's a problem with an info product business, but I think too many service business owners don't maximize the potential of their business before they consider courses. ” — Maggie Patterson
