If we were grabbing coffee, I wouldn’t ask how business is going — I’d ask you if this version of your business still works for you in 2026.
Because on paper, things look fine. You’ve got clients. The invoices go out. The money comes in.
But behind the scenes? You’re stretched thin, second-guessing everything, and wondering if this is just how it is now.
It’s not.
I’m Maggie Patterson, founder of BS-Free Business.
Service businesses aren’t a niche I dabble in — they’ve been my entire career.
For 25 years, I’ve worked with clients every single day, and for 20 of those, I’ve run my own successful service business. I literally wrote THE guidebook for solo service business owners.
I didn’t do client work for a year or two and then pivot to teaching. By choice, I still run Scoop Studios, my boutique content marketing agency. Which means I’m in the trenches with the same challenges you’re facing, not speaking from the sidelines.
