Episode Summary
Let’s get one thing straight: filing an LLC does not mean you have a business. It means you’ve filled out some paperwork—cute, but not income-generating.
In this solo episode, Holly is breaking down the over-hyped question new entrepreneurs love to stress over:
“Do I need an LLC?”
(Spoiler alert: not if you don’t have a client, an offer, or a plan.)
If you’ve been hiding behind legal forms, color palettes, and Canva instead of solving problems for people, this episode is your loving wake up call. Holly shares her own behind-the-scenes story—from getting fired to building a thriving business—and all the unnecessary distractions she fell for along the way.
You’ll walk away knowing what actually matters when you're getting started (hint: it’s not an LLC), and how to finally build momentum with clients who pay you for what you’re really good at.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why the LLC question is just fear in a business suit
- 3 things to nail before you touch legal paperwork
- The spiral Holly went through after getting fired—and what finally moved the needle
- How one client went from free speaking gigs to getting paid well
- The one question that actually builds a business (hint: it’s not about forms)
