In today’s episode, we will discuss why you need to work on your home studio and not in it. According to the author of The E-Myth Revisited, Michael E. Gerber, the small business (home studio) owner is usually divided into three different personalities. The entrepreneur, the manager and the technician. However, we spend most of our time in the “technician” personality. This is detrimental to the small business (home studio) owner because we need to involve all three personalities to succeed.

In this episode you will learn:

- The fatal assumptions we as entrepreneurs do when starting out

- The difference and the importance of The Entrepreneur, The Manager and The Technician

- Why this is important for you to develop and think about

- How this allows you to take your home studio or freelance career to the next level

- And how this can give you more time in your day
