Aligned Self-Employment and Opting Out with Cait Flanders

Today I’m talking with Cait Flanders, the author of The Year of Less and the new book, Adventures in Opting Out. I wanted to get Cait on the show because she really represents a way of doing things differently and writes around taking aligned control of your life. Today we talk about all sorts of things, like taking not-perfect steps into self-employment, the realities of being a self-employed author, money, opting out of marketing, and making friends with who get it.

Here's what I talk about in this episode:

• Background into Cait
• Take the safer first steps when starting to freelance, you don’t have to take the huge scary steps right at first
• Find goals that are supportive to you to work towards something and let it unfold
• Don’t let your ego get attached to being “self-employed” to the point where you don’t want to get a job if you need to – if you need money, you need money!
• If you’re not enjoying where you are, you’re not giving people an experience
