Freelancing can be a very lonely business.

Not just in terms of physical isolation, but also in the way of getting help to run your day-to-day operations.

Most of us don't have staff to take care of business operations and administration. Or a CFO and legal team to deal with finances, payroll and regulatory hassles. Or an IT director to manage our tech infrastructure.

We're expected to do it all. And that can be exhausting!

That's where a company like MBO Partners can help. MBO Partners combines a proprietary system to handle tax, expense, benefit, and payment and contract management for freelancers and independent professionals.

This is a new breed of business that's supporting the rapidly growing freelance economy. And in this interview, I talk with MBO Partners' president and CEO Gene Zaino about this missing piece in the freelance community—and how MBO Partners is filling this critical gap and giving many independent workers a true competitive edge.

The biggest breakthroughs I've experienced in my business and personal life have come from taking what seemed to be big risks.

Not the crazy, jumping-off-a-cliff-with-a-wingsuit kind of risk.

I'm talking about stepping far enough outside of my comfort zone that I changed for the better.

Even if the desired outcome never materialized.

If you want to take your freelance business to the next level, you HAVE to start thinking differently about risk.

Risk is a natural part of growth. And they key to getting comfortable with taking more (and smarter) risks is knowing how to do it well.

In today's show, I talk with solopreneur and risk-taking aficionado Tyler Tervooren from Riskology.co.

Tyler shares some fascinating information on the art and science of risk taking ... and how we can strategically improve our risk-taking "muscle" as solo professionals.
