We're at the half for 2020, which means the end of Season 8. I'm proud to say I learned a ton, and I hope you have too! There were three big topics of focus this season: Find the Right Clients, Productize Your Services (or at least make them more predictable), and Build Your Email List / Network.Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/preventing-the-famine-with-jason-resnick/">Jason Resnick</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/find-niche-sara-dunn/">Sara Dunn</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/managing-client-relationships-with-nathan-ingram/">Nathan Ingram</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/business-systems-shannon-shaffer/">Shannon Shaffer</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/make-money-fivver-maddy-osman/">Maddy Osman</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/productizing-your-service-with-brian-cassel/">Brian Cassel</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/growing-from-freelancer-to-agency-owner-with-matt-adams/">Matt Adams</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/get-more-clients-using-content-with-jessica-lawlor/">Jessica Lawlor</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/podcasts-grow-business-matt-medeiros/">Matt Medeiros</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/build-your-list-converkit-angel-marie/">Angel Marie</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/grow-network-community/">Vito Peleg</a></li><li><a href="https://howibuilt.it/improve-customer-relationshiops-john-vuong/">John Vuong</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2V8YpLD">Marketing Made Simple</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://podcastliftoff.com/?utm_source=howibuiltit&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=sponsorships">Podcast Liftoff</a> | <a href="http://go.thoughtleaders.io/1848420200623">CircleCI</a> | <a href="https://textexpander.com/how-i-built-it?utm_source=howibuiltit&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=textexpander-Feb-2023">TextExpander</a>

Growing Your Audience on Instagram with Andrea Zoellner

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.
