EP 255: Freelancer’s Journey: Rachel Mazza and Jessica Mae Stafford – Growing A “Real Business” (Phase 7 and Beyond)

In This Episode

I’m thrilled about this episode today because I get to jump all the way to Phase 7 of The Freelancers Journey Timeline and talk to you about more advanced business strategies and tactics.

If you don’t know about the Freelancers Journey – it’s a simple 7-step roadmap to freelance success. It takes the guesswork out of how to build a freelance career by mapping out a proven path through The 7 Phases of Freelancing.

Phase 7 is when you’re beyond client money and are building your own assets and your own business. This is where you get to build your “Legacy Business.”

Now I ‘ain’t talking about erecting a statue of yourself in the town square. A “Legacy Business” is where your business can thrive without you, and ideally, long after you’ve left this green earth.

Building a legacy business is all about creating security and support for – not only your customers and your team – but hopefully your family. Truly leaving your mark on the world in a big way, passed down through generations.

I’ve been fortunate enough (and am still slightly shocked) that I’m here in Phase 7 now – focusing my days on building a business that goes far beyond “The Kevin Rogers Show.”

Today I’m joined by my own “Integrator” – Rachel Mazza – who steers the ship here at Copy Chief and leads my team…

And also Jessica Mae Stafford – my personal finance coach and CPA at Copy Chief – who is even further along the journey of building a legacy business than I am.

Together we’re talking about the “big boy stuff” that comes with building and running a legacy business

The tools we’re putting in place to help our businesses run without us
The systems and processes we use to give our team freedom to do their best work without babysitting
Solving the “people puzzle” when hiring and leading a team
The unexpected secret to making EVERY team meeting efficient and productive
How to feel comfortable trusting your team so you can finally “let go” without stress
Balancing the creative “visionary” role with the tactical “Integrator” role to accomplish big goals without overloading your team
How to build a powerful culture for your team, and communicate it in a way that gets people fired up
The biggest mistakes we made when moving from ‘scrappy startup’ to legacy business
