VIP Office Hours: Health & Business Insurance for the Self-Employed - Ep 162
In this episode, I host the second Friday VIP office hours for the self-employed and those considering self-employment. Broadcasting from a beautiful day in Michigan, I set the stage for an insightful discussion.
We address a YouTube live stream error, noting it might resonate with listeners facing similar issues. In the session, we discuss key aspects, including various insurance options for the self-employed, such as health, business, and liability insurance. Members share their experiences and tips on choosing the right insurance plans.
Additionally, we explore the use of 'I' versus 'we' in branding, with contributions from various self-employed professionals. The session wraps up with a reminder about our recurring monthly meetings, networking through our LinkedIn group, and an invitation for more individuals to join our supportive community.
