Have you ever thought about growing your freelance writing business into an agency? In today’s episode, I, Janine Kelbach, share my journey from solo nurse writer to the founder of a thriving agency. I’ll walk you through the steps I took to transition from handling everything myself to delegating tasks and building a team that includes over 150 vetted nurse writers. If you’re thinking about making the leap from freelancer to agency owner, this episode is for you!

Starting as a solo freelancer in 2013, I’ve learned many lessons along the way. From running a full-time business, homeschooling my kids, and balancing various professional responsibilities, it became clear that I needed a new approach. Join me as I explain the signs that it might be time to scale your freelance business and the essential steps to transitioning into an agency model.
