It's Episode 26, and JJJ and I talk all about getting an idea and running with it. His plugin Publishiza has a funny origin story that decided to develop. We also talk about publishing where you're comfortable, seeing your work get used by actual people, and of-course, deep bar thoughts. ?⛈️ Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://jjj.blog/">JJJ</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/JJJ">JJJ on Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://publishiza.com/">Publishiza</a></li><li><a href="https://2016.us.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp US</a></li><li><a href="https://buddypress.org/">BuddyPress</a></li><li><a href="https://bbpress.org/">BBPress</a></li><li><a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-Tweetstorm">What is a Tweetstorm?</a></li><li><a href="https://jetpack.com/">Jetpack</a></li><li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/keyring/">Keyring</a></li><li><a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php">PHP wordwrap</a></li><li><a href="https://jjj.blog/2016/12/%F0%9F%92%AF%E2%88%9E/">100 ∞</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://pantheon.io/gutenberg?utm_source=howibuiltit">Pantheon</a> | <a href="http://buildpodcast.net/hired">Hired.com</a>

Teaching Freelancers to Grow their Business with Troy Dean

Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone.

When you're a solo business owner, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.

But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, parts of your business can run without you. That's what gets you your time back, and gives you the freedom to take a real break. And the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.

Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.

Every week, one clear idea to help you get your time back without hiring a team...or selling your soul to AI. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
