In this episode, I had Chris M Walker, founder of Legiit, on the show. and he dropped some serious knowledge bombs.
He emphasizes the importance of building a personal brand and staying resilient as an entrepreneur.
Chris shared how Legiit uses a killer checklist for freelancers and a focus on building a strong community to attract the best people. He gave us some insights on how to navigate this, including the importance of providing genuine value and playing the long game. ️
Plus, we talked about some overused marketing terms that are basically meaningless these days (looking at you, "adding value").
So, there you have it! This episode was jam-packed with actionable advice for anyone building a business, especially if you're rocking the freelance life.
Let’s hit the play, take what you learn and put it into action!
