Your Take the Leap Q&A Recording

Still buzzing from this event's energy! 🔥

The questions you brought to our "Take the Leap" Q&A with Ashley Dennison hit deep. Over 160+ of you signed up, ready to level up.

The "aha moments" were happening as we went through all of the questions (big and small), which is why I LOVE getting our community in one room so we can learn from one another.

Here's what I noticed in the chat (and in my DMs since):

So many brilliant people are getting caught up in finding the "perfect" approach instead of focusing on the right approach for them.

The reality? 

There's no one-size-fits-all path to freelance success.

What IS universal? 

Treating your freelance work like the real business it is, and following the framework that works: 

• Get crystal clear on your value and positioning

• Build a strategic, active plan to get new clients

• Execute consistently (even when it feels messy)

AND now: The follow-up resources we promised!

Digging deeper into a couple specific questions:

What to do about Health Insurance?

Check out Solo Health Collective - a new health plan designed exclusively for freelancers and solopreneurs. Solo's plans are affordable, HSA eligible, flexible, and provide coverage for preventive care, emergencies, and more. One of the best parts about Solo is that they have an amazing customer support team that will be there to support you every step of the way. You can get started by creating your plan, or schedule time with a team member to ask your questions. Keep an eye out for our webinar with the Solo team this fall!

Do I need an LLC or to structure as an SCORP?

Growing your business isn't just about pipeline, pricing models and topline fulfillment. There is also the responsibility and opportunity to ensure you have the right foundation and backend structure. Lettuce is a FANTASTIC resource to get more info here. They help solopreneurs get connected to the right financial and legal resources to keep more of their hard earned money and operate as a true business.
