Brady Dowdy is a podcast, manufacturer, and most important, pen addict. I’m a big fan and Brad and everything he does, and in this episode, we’re wading into very non-techie waters. Brad and I talk about what it’s like building a physical product – from prototyping to manufacturing. It’s a fantastic conversation and I definitely learned a lot. I like it so much, that we did a bonus episode, for Patrons only. Hear more about that in the show! I think you'll love it. Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://twitter.com/dowdyism">Brad on Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://nockco.com">Nock Co.</a></li><li><a href="https://www.penaddict.com">Pen Addict Blog</a></li><li><a href="https://www.relay.fm/penaddict">Pen Addict Podcast</a></li><li><a href="http://rmkoutdoors.com/rmk-blog/2016/3/27/bogear-bullpup-backpack-review">BOgear Bullpup</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tombihn.com/collections/travel-bags">Tom Bihn Travel Bags</a></li><li><a href="https://patreon.com/howibuiltit">Get the bonus episode on Patreon</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://buildpodcast.net/events">Event Espresso</a> | <a href="https://buildpodcast.net/jilt">Jilt</a> | <a href="http://liquidweb.evyy.net/c/367325/603512/4464">Liquid Web</a>

How to Build Your Own WooCommerce Store with Patick Rauland

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.
