Stories That Inspire Us / The Author Series, welcomed to today’s podcast, Wednesday, June 28, 2023, Sarah Duran (Episode #125).  Sarah is a freelance project manager, consistent six-figure freelancer, and solopreneur coach. She started her company, Fruition Initiatives, to help people and organizations turn their ideas into action – to bring their goals to fruition.  Sarah is also the Author of the Book:  How to Start a Business of One / Instant Freelancer / The Shortest Path to Independent Work and Money in the Bank.

Sarah’s book is a book I wished I had when I initially started my journey of entrepreneurship - it is that good!  (Sarah also has a workbook that accompanies the book as well.  I decided to read her book first; now I am going to download the workbook and read it again!)  She lays her book out in such a way to really enable her reader to strategically input their ideas and thoughts into action!  Taking action may be the hardest part to your independence; however Sarah quotes in her book a famous quote from Susan B. Anthony:  “Independence is happiness!”

We specifically chatted about the first part of her book:  “Why Freelance Now" and the two parts to that specific section:  The Freelance Revolution and What Freelancing Needs to Give You.  The perfect place to start indeed as you need a healthy foundation to start your freelance business.  Sarah identifies (10) descriptions of freelancers some of which of course can be intertwined.  I believe I am a mixture of freelancer, creative, consultant and coach.  

Sarah is also a coach, podcaster, blogger, and content creator who helps solopreneurs live up to their highest potential. She takes her expertise as a consistent six-figure freelancer and combines it with her background in curriculum design, facilitation, and coaching to give solopreneurs the support to get what they need out of their work EVERY DAY.
