You work with clients as a creative, consultant or agency owner and you're amazing at what you do...

You’ve tried the flashy strategies and one-size-fits-all advice that overpromise and underdeliver, but all it’s done is add more to your plate—with little to show for it.

And the stress, the chaos, the constant hustle—

it's exhausting.

You’re ready for a business that just works:

steady, simple, and built to serve your clients without running you into the ground.

BS-Free Business helps you build a service business that’s strategically and sustainably small—a boring business that’s predictable, profitable and peaceful.

Maggie Patterson Service Business Coach

I'm Maggie, and BS-Free Business® is where I help service business owners embrace the power of boring.

I specialize in cutting through the hype that overcomplicates what should be simple. As a former freelancer turned micro agency owner, I’ve lived the ups, downs, and complete chaos of service businesses and learned that boring is better.

Since 2016, I’ve worked exclusively with service-based business owners, delivering bullshit-free strategies to build simple, sustainable, and beautifully boring businesses.

Spoiler Alert:

Boring

Isn’t What You Think

Having a boring business doesn’t mean you’re bored.

It means you’re not running around putting out fires or fantasizing about burning your business to the ground.

A “boring” business means calm days and sound sleep—because there's no more drama. It works for you, so you don’t have to work so damn hard.

Gray-Mark

Boring isn’t the enemy...it’s the goal.

Forget the endless hustle and one-size-fits-all strategies —

they’re a fast track

to burnout.
