On today's show I share two timely new resources:

Introducing Deliberate Freelancer Clarity Calls!

These are 45-minute Zoom video chats to talk through 1-2 challenges with podcast host Melanie Padgett Powers.

Are you feeling stuck in your business and need help reigniting your momentum?
Do you have a million ideas but need help zeroing in on the best one for you?
Are you overwhelmed with your to-do list and need help cutting through the noise?
Are you feeling insecure or uncertain about a proposal, project rate or pricing structure?

Schedule a Clarity Call with Melanie — she can be a sounding board to help you cut through the noise and allow your best ideas to shine through. You can talk through roadblocks to help reignite your momentum. Or you can work together to uncover fresh solutions to client and project challenges.

Clarity Calls are for any creative — any independent business owner — in any industry who is selling services. These calls are for those who are already freelancing and have at least a couple of clients — not someone who hasn't started yet.

This is a soft launch, with four slots open in May and in June. Each Clarity Call is $149.

Podcast guest and friend Austin L. Church created this amazing summit. While it is especially for freelance writers, much of it is focused on the business side, so I think all sorts of freelancers and solo business owners can benefit.
