- #3: Stand Out and Succeed with the Power of Personality
We've all heard it a million times before, "just be yourself!". But what does that even mean anyways?
This episode looks at the vital importance of personality to you succeeding as a services-based business and we get super specific about how to actually make that a reality. (Even if you feel like you don't have any personality or you should keep it locked away because you're just too quirky/freaky/weird/awesome.)

About Staying Solo | Business Strategy for Service Providers, Creatives and Consultants
From the publisher's feed
Running a solo service business is tough. It's even harder when the business strategy and sustainable growth advice you're being sold constantly pushes you to work more, ignore your values, and forget why you started in the first place.
Staying Solo is THE podcast for service providers, creatives, and consultants who want to stay intentionally small, build on their own terms, and skip the performative business BS.
You're a service business owner, creative, or consultant who's damn good at what you do. But the flashy strategies and online advice keep adding more to your plate. You're tired of being told to scale, hustle harder, or stop selling services—as if there's something wrong with working with clients.
You're ready for a delightfully boring business: predictable, profitable, peaceful, and built to support your real life.
Your host, Maggie Patterson, is a service business consultant with 25 years in client services and more than 20 years of self-employment. She's still delivering client work while the celebrity entrepreneurs are telling you to quit both and buy their course.
Each week, Maggie breaks down mainstream business advice that doesn't work for solo service providers and shares what actually does.
Expect practical conversations about strategic planning, positioning, pricing your services, client boundaries, capacity planning, and business burnout prevention. Staying Solo doesn't mean you have to figure all this shit out yourself.
The goal? A simple, sustainable business that serves your clients without running you into the ground. Less putting out fires. More calm days, sound sleep, and space for your life.
Because you're not playing small. You're staying strategically small.
Listen and subscribe before you decide to burn it all down and open a flower shop, bookstore, or cat cafe. (Because those cats won't pay the bills.)
