Streamlined Solopreneur: Automate Your Business, Take Time Off Worry-Free
Joe Casabona, Solopreneur Systems Coach
As a solopreneur, it can feel hard to take time off. I mean REALLY take time off. Not take a vacation where you still respond to email.
The problem is that for many solopreneurs running a one-person business, taking time off means the business shuts down. As a result, you’re constantly worrying about it. But what if you had great systems in place to automate your business?
That’s exactly what you’ll get with Streamlined Solopreneur. You’ll learn how to turn manual tasks into reliable systems, so you can take time off worry-free.
Joe Casabona knows about this firsthand. He went from worrying so much that he had a panic attack to taking 4-6 weeks off every year. Worry-free. And he’s helped hundreds of solopreneurs do the same.
If you’re ready to automate your business, and take time off to do what you want (instead of waiting until you have a panic attack), start listening to Streamlined Solopreneur.

Getting Paid Consulting using EDD with Mark Zahra
Mark Zahra, among other things, recently released the EDD Bookings plugin for Easy Digital Downloads. I was excited to talk to him about this because it's something that I thought of doing myself back when I was teaching multiple classes at the University of Scranton. When I was on campus to help manage a fluid schedule for my own office hours, I deemed that project was maybe a little over my head for the amount of time that I had. It's very cool to see that it's come to fruition a few years later. Mark also hosts Mastermind.FM and worked over at WP Mayor.
