Pivoting Your Business Model with Sarah Masci

<p>Episode #169. Sarah Masci helps designers and other service providers pivot to a day rate business model just like she did in her career as a web designer. The fun part is, that while Sarah teaches other entrepreneurs how to shift their business model, she’s been shifting her own. In this episode, Sarah and I talk about why you might consider a day rate business model, the challenges of making any business model switch and what to consider as you move forward with a new plan.</p><p><b>In This Episode You’ll Learn:</b></p><ul><li><em>Why you should consider a daily rate business model - especially if you’re sick of projects that take months and months to complete</em></li><li><em>How Sarah settled on pricing for her day rate without promising a deliverable</em></li><li><em>What happens as you shift and rebrand your business model</em></li><li><em>How your team might change as your business model changes </em></li></ul><p><b>Favorite Quotes</b></p><p>“I can&apos;t guarantee we&apos;re going to get a website done in a day. But I can guarantee you that I&apos;m going to give you my best effort, and I&apos;m going to get as much done as we can get done. This business model just kind of evolved into not promising a set of deliverables but promising my time.”<br/><br/>“Before, I always had stuff to do. Whereas now, when you look at my calendar, it&apos;s pretty empty. I use this white space time for thinking ahead and projecting where we’re going to be next year.” </p><p>“I just have all the ideas and all these things that I want to do. Having somebody on my team who&apos;s really good at getting everything systematized and organized on your back end is what&apos;s helped me keep moving forward.” </p><p><b>Discussed on the Show</b></p><ul><li><a href='http://dayratemagic.com/'><b>dayratemagic.com</b></a></li></ul><p><b>More About Sarah: <br/> <br/></b>Sarah is the founder Day Rate Mastery™, an online company that teaches creative service providers how to work less, and make more with a streamlined “day rate” business
