Over the last 2 weeks, we discussed mental and physical health as it relates to freelancing and self-employment. To round out this trilogy of overall happiness in your career, I’m talking to Kirsten Bunch, who is a reinvention coach. She helps those folks who are mid-career but need a change. She offers some fantastic advice on how to determine if you’re ready for a chance, and the steps you should talk in order to figure out what to do for your next career move. Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://www.kirstenbunch.com">Kirsten Bunch</a> | <a href="https://www.kirstenbunch.com/blog">Change the World in a Hot Flash</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2xJLmnV">Kirsten's Book: Next Act Give Back</a></li><li><a href="https://www.writingclasses.com">Gotham Writers</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2XJNruz">Atomic Habits</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/episode-23-scott-bolinger-apppresser/">Episode 23: Scott Bolinger and AppPresser</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2JvRSFy">Profit First</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2JxZqHX">Richest Man in Babylon</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://useahoy.com/howibuiltit/">Ahoy!</a> | <a href="https://creatorcourses.com/build/?utm_source=how-i-built-it&amp;utm_medium=sponsor&amp;utm_campaign=self-sponsor">Creator Courses</a> | <a href="https://pantheon.io/gutenberg?utm_source=howibuiltit">Pantheon</a>

Coaching Entrepreneurs with Alex McClafferty

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.
