Description

Every superhero has an arch-nemesis (or two).


Batman’s got the Joker.


Spidey’s got the Green Goblin.


Superman? Lex Luthor.


But you?


You’ve got five freelancing villains quietly sabotaging your business.


There’s no maniacal laughter or evil stare.


They’re not wearing capes or threatening to destroy the world with a giant-ass laser.


These villains are more subtle:


“Just one more YouTube video…”


“I’ll do those reachouts tomorrow…”


“I need to fix my portfolio first…”


And before you know it?


They’ve stolen another week of progress.


If there’s one thing I’ve learned working 1 on 1 with hundreds of creative freelancers, it’s this:


You don’t rise to the level of your strategy…You fall to the level of your patterns.


I've seen clients with a flawless strategy that they're trying to execute…


And yet they can't get out of their own damn way to execute it.


Because when things get hard, or new, or uncomfortable…


We default down to whatever survival pattern we’ve always used to cope.


In this week’s episode, I’m joined by one of the Clients by Design coaches, Josh Love, to call out all 5 of those freelancing villains (and how to finally defeat them).


We’ll dive into:



  • how these patterns form

  • how they masquerade as productivity

  • what to do when you catch yourself spiraling.


The first step to defeating your particular villain is knowing which one you’re dealing with.
