In this edition of What Went Wrong, I got a chance to explore mistakes, missteps, and the humbling reality that even seasoned pros can land flat on their face with repeat guest Robin Waite. This time, he didn't come with a polished pitch or a shiny success story. He brought a cautionary tale about Facebook ads, cold leads, and a £9,000 lesson in what happens when you trust the algorithm more than your instincts. Key Points from the Conversation with Robin Waite Even Experts Trip Up Robin isn't new to marketing—he ran an agency for 12 years. But when it came to Facebook ads for his own coaching business, he got caught in the allure of automation and scale. What started strong eventually crashed, all because the warm audience he'd been nurturing for years dried up. Your Audience Isn't Infinite Facebook ads worked—until they didn't. The moment his familiar, friendly audience was exhausted, the leads stopped flowing. Robin kept the campaign running for three more months, hoping it would fix itself. It didn't. Turns out, if you don't refill your marketing funnel, it doesn't matter how clever your copy or shiny your creative. Know Enough to Stay Dangerous Robin outsourced the nitty-gritty to so-called ad experts, trusting they'd fix the problem. But no one could explain what was going wrong. That blind spot cost him. The lesson? You don't need to be the expert, but you need to know enough to ask the right questions. When in Doubt, Go Back to What Works With his budget blown and confidence shaken, Robin went back to basics—his podcast, speaking gigs, and book. Instead of chasing cold leads, he rebuilt slowly by focusing on brand-building and trust, knowing that meaningful connections take time. Marketing is Just One Big Science Fair Like any good experiment, sometimes things blow up. And that's okay. Robin reminded us that failure is part of the formula—especially in marketing. The trick is not to avoid mistakes, but to make better ones next time. Takeaways for Business Owners Warm audiences are wonderful—but they won't last forever. Always be adding new people to the top of your funnel. Facebook ads can be powerful—but only if you understand the mechanics. Don't hand over your entire budget without oversight. Track what's working, and don't be afraid to pivot. If your gut says something's off, it probably is. When the fancy stuff fails, go back to your roots. Relationships, conversations, and trust still matter most. And maybe most important of all: Marketing isn't magic. It's messy, imperfect, and beautifully human—just like us. About Robin Waite Robin is the founder of Fearless Business, a Business Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers. Having spent 12 year's running a digital marketing business, Robin pivoted in 2016 to focus on the part of his business he liked the best; training business owners how to be better in business. In 2016 Robin founded Fearless Business, a unique Business Growth Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers so help free them from the sales cycle of doom!

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Anonymous. They say:“I'm subcontracting on a project with a fellow freelancer. I like them, and working with them has been great. The project however, has been anything but. The clients are difficult, their working patterns don't fit with mine, and their constant changes have added to our workload many times.My question is —How do I maintain my relationship with the freelancer (with the hope of working with them again) while telling them that I don't want to do phase two of the project? I only signed up for phase one, but the client is acting as though phase two is a done deal, so I need to extricate myself without the other freelancer feeling like I've left them in the lurch!

Do you ever have uncomfortable feelings when you are going about your day?  When you feel discomfort, it can show up as a slight uncomfortable feeling, where you almost feel like it's just running in the background of your life, and we often try to outrun it when it feels like this.  It can also feel like a tightness in your chest when you're about to speak up or a lump in your throat when you're walking into a meeting.  It could be a pit in your stomach when you're deciding whether or not to go after something big you've been dreaming about.  I want you to know that feeling uncomfortable, or discomfort, is not a problem.  It's not a red flag. It doesn't mean something's wrong. In fact, I'm going to argue that discomfort might just be the compass that leads you straight to the life you've been working so hard for.  Today, we're going to talk about what discomfort really means, why it's worth leaning into, and how embracing it can be the secret to finally creating the changes you've been craving in both your professional and your personal life.  Let's dive in… I'm inviting you to sign up for the free private podcast where I do a deeper dive into this topic on the Mastering Your Mindset Moments podcast for high-stress professionals: https://www.financialadventure.com/private Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit and Clarity Session, where we'll work together to create a clear and focused plan for you to move forward so you'll immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

If you have a situation where you need to refund your customer the money they have paid you, you want to make sure that you are doing it correctly so that everything clears out in the customer's account and they show the correct balance due if they have one, or that their account balance is zero if they no longer owe you any money.  Refunding a customer seems so simple, but many of my clients struggle with how to record the transactions in their bookkeeping system.  Most will issue a check for the balance they want to refund, but the confusion normally comes when they need to record the refund in QuickBooks.  You may be having the same issues if you are using another bookkeeping software system, but as long as you follow a few key steps, your refund will be recorded correctly.  In today's podcast episode, I'm diving into how you should be correctly recording how you refund your customers in QuickBooks so that their balance is not only correct but everything is linked correctly in your bookkeeping system as well.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you're a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, keeping your customers satisfied by refunding any amounts owed to them and recording it correctly in your bookkeeping software will help eliminate any clean up in the future and ensure your financial statements are accurate.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…    Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we'll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

Are you protecting your peace, or avoiding discomfort?  We all know that boundaries are healthy, right? They help protect our peace, preserve our energy, and define how we allow others to show up in our lives. But here's something most people don't talk about.  Sometimes what we think is a boundary is actually us avoiding something. Or someone.  Let me ask you this.  Have you ever told yourself, “I'm just setting a boundary,” but deep down, if you're being honest, you were really just dodging an uncomfortable situation?

One of my clients has the dream setup: A solid YouTube following Tens of thousands of people visiting his site every month A clean, self-checkout flow for his freelance services Sounds awesome, right? But when we looked under the hood… He was making just $0.23 per visitor. Twenty. Three. Cents. Let that sink in. That's LESS than $5k/month from 20,000 website visitors. I nearly threw my laptop. That same traffic, with a real sales process? Could be worth $20k… even $50k. This is the myth of passive sales. It feels efficient. It looks scalable. But for service businesses? It's an income-killer. Passive sales feel great… until you realize you're leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Every. Single. Month. Your income per website visitor is way more important than your total traffic. That single metric—earnings per visitor—exposes how effective (or broken) your sales process really is. Most freelancers think more eyeballs = more money. In this episode, I break down why you don't need more traffic. You need more $$$ per visitor. I'm talking: The full sales strategy spectrum (passive → async → real convos) How to balance your time and make more per visitor And how a small tweak to your sales flow can 10x your earnings per visitor If you're serious about hitting $100k, $250k, or beyond, this is the lever to pull.

Every single one of us feels scared or nervous at some point in our lives, and for some of us, it's probably more often than we'd like to admit.  Think about when you felt nervous in the past.  You know that fluttery feeling in your stomach, the racing heart, the sweaty palms, yes, that feeling.  It usually shows up when you're about to do something new, something uncomfortable, something that stretches you just beyond what feels safe or predictable.  I get it, feeling nervous isn't fun. It doesn't feel safe. Our brains treat nervousness like something's gone wrong.  But what if I told you that feeling nervous isn't a problem?  What if it's actually a good thing?  What if those feelings of nervousness are the exact sign that you're headed in the right direction?  Let's talk about how to use being scared or nervous as fuel to build confidence, take bold action, and start living into that next version of you.  Let's dive in… I'm inviting you to sign up for the free private podcast where I do a deeper dive into this topic on the Mastering Your Mindset Moments podcast for high-stress professionals: https://www.financialadventure.com/private Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit and Clarity Session, where we'll work together to create a clear and focused plan for you to move forward so you'll immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Kyle Van Deusen, who runs a small web agency in Richmond, Virginia, and founded "The Admin Bar," a community for freelancers and agency owners. They discuss the 2025 WordPress Professional Survey, which Kyle conducted to gather insights from web professionals. The survey, which received 1,233 responses, highlights the experiences and challenges faced by freelancers and agency owners.Top TakeawaysMany Agency Owners Lack Business Fundamentals: A lot of agency owners start by accident, not with a business plan. As a result, many undercharge and lack confidence in setting prices. Kyle pointed out that few are reaching their income goals—not due to market limits, but because they don't know what's possible. This shows a big need for basic business education around pricing, value, and financial planning.Marketing and Networking Are Largely Overlooked: Nearly 60% of respondents aren't doing in-person networking, and many aren't investing in marketing. Too many rely on being found organically, which isn't enough anymore. Kyle and Michelle highlighted that growth requires showing up, building relationships, and actively promoting your services.Community Helps Build Confidence and Clarity: Talking with peers can shift your mindset and pricing strategy. Kyle shared how learning what others charged helped him raise his rates confidently. Community support helps agency owners avoid mistakes, learn faster, and feel less alone in their journey.The Survey Is a Valuable, Underused Resource: Kyle stressed that the real power of the survey lies in how people use it. By digging into the data, agency owners can find paths others have taken to success. The more participation it gets, the more valuable and representative it becomes for the whole community.Mentioned in the Show:https://theadminbar.com/2025-survey/https://theadminbar.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2147806538801573

What if everything you thought about money was wrong? In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor dives deep with Jason Graystone — investor, entrepreneur, and host of the Always Free podcast — to uncover the uncomfortable truths and liberating insights around money, self-worth, and freedom. Jason breaks down the two stages of financial freedom, explains why owning a business doesn't guarantee autonomy, and reveals what truly builds wealth (hint: it's not crypto hype or side hustles). Together, they challenge mainstream narratives on purpose, imposter syndrome, and the power of being useful to others. Whether you're stuck in a 9–5 or scaling a coaching empire, this episode delivers the mindset shifts and practical frameworks you didn't know you needed. Tune in and learn how to build freedom — not just finances.     Episode Highlights: financial freedom, imposter syndrome, passive income, purpose, delegation, coaching business, entrepreneurship, Bitcoin, money mindset, investing, wealth creation, self-sabotage Takeaways:   Financial freedom comes in two stages: control, then automation Freelancers often mistake themselves for entrepreneurs Delegation is essential to true freedom Anything inspiring can be monetized Imposter syndrome is normal — it means you're growing Time, not money, is your most valuable asset Purpose is created through service, not discovered     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

In this episode of The Cognitive Revolution, host Nathan Labenz speaks with Micha Kaufman, founder and CEO of Fiverr, about the company's new AI suite called Fiverr Go. Kaufman shares his unique values-based approach to AI implementation, which aims to empower human creators rather than replace them in the freelance marketplace. The conversation explores how Fiverr is attempting to build an AI-human hybrid model that maintains the incentives for human creativity while providing freelancers with tools to work more efficiently and monetize their distinctive styles, positioning itself as a counterpoint to AI platforms that devalue human creative work.

Please email me, David Chudyk, with any questions, or if you just want to connect: david@parallelfinancial.com Takeaways: Freelancers and independent contractors have more control over their work compared to employees. It's important to remember that freelance income is subject to self-employment taxes, unlike W2 income. Planning for irregular cash flow is crucial for freelancers and independent contractors. Independent contractors can deduct business expenses, which can lower their taxable income significantly. Having a good relationship with a tax professional is essential for managing freelance income. Freelancers must handle their own training and professional development expenses, which can add up.

What's the difference between a successful freelancer and one who struggles with feast or famine? It's not how good you are at your craft, but how you position yourself to clients. Amy Posner is a seasoned online entrepreneur and business coach who helps digital creative freelancers build breakthrough businesses. Over her 30-year career, she's launched six successful businesses (five of which are still in business today) and mentored thousands of freelancers to success.  Now, Amy focuses on empowering freelancers to grow the business they want by teaching them the skills they need to attract the right clients inside her Complete Breakthrough Freelancer course and on her podcast, Business Badassery. Overcoming Feast or Famine The biggest challenge for freelancers is feast or famine–a windfall of work followed by a period of little to no income. The best way to overcome this is with business systems and processes, so you always have another project in the pipeline. Amy teaches her students skills like writing proposals, selling on calls, and communicating the value they deliver. Many successful freelancers give their clients expert strategic advice, but are selling themselves as order takers–someone who does nothing more than follow orders and create deliverables. If you position yourself as a strategist, you're perceived as much more valuable.  The Difference between an Order Taker and an Expert The primary difference between order takers and experts is that experts deliver an experience, not just deliverables. It starts on the discovery call, when you first connect with the client. High-quality clients want a strategic partner, someone they can trust to give them expert advice and who is interested in getting results. Once you've landed the client, you need to deliver on the experience you've promised. When in doubt, overcommunicate and overdeliver. Again, systems and processes come in handy here. Keep the client in the loop on what's happening, especially for longer projects. Be reliable and do what you say you're going to do. Enjoy this episode with Amy Posner… Soundbytes 12:29-12:43 “I see so many successful freelancers who are giving expert advice, and they're counseling as experts, but they're selling themselves as a creator of deliverables. And you're seen in a very different light.” 18:02-18:21 “The truth is, you don't need a unique perspective. You need a perspective. If a client's going out looking, they don't care that I think the same thing you do. They care what I think. So they're not looking necessarily for originality. They're looking for a stake in the ground, that you believe in something and that you have something to say.”  Quotes “What I noticed was that you could be really great at your craft. And if you didn't have commensurate business skills, you didn't do as well as mediocre craftspeople who had the business side down.” “Nobody gets into business to sell stuff. They get into business because they love doing a thing.”  “I'm a chronic over-deliverer. I like to get invested in people and in getting results.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://amyposner.com/ Connect with Amy Posner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyposnerbusinessgrowthmentor/  Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?
