Meet your host, Maggie Patterson
I’m Maggie Patterson, a former freelancer turned mentor to service business owners and the author of the forthcoming book Staying Solo.
With 20 years of experience as a self-employed service business owner, I’ve learned how to build a flexible business that actually works for you—and your life.
In this private podcast, I’m interviewing service business owners like you who’ve decided to stay solo so you can hear firsthand how you don’t have to buy into the “scale or fail” myth to build your business.
Not every service provider needs a team, and growing your business doesn’t require following the typical advice that’s out of touch with real solopreneur life.
Staying solo can be a smart, sustainable choice.
I created Staying Solo Stories—a private podcast where solo business owners share why they chose to stay strategically small.
These stories aren’t about hustle or following trends—they’re about what’s worked for real people like you, creating businesses that support their lives without compromising their values or sanity.
