28. A Conversation With My Editor

Today’s a super special episode of the Business Journey podcast because we’re chatting with someone who’s important and vital to my business: my private editor! Alisa and I will be talking all about what it’s like working with a private editor and why you should consider outsourcing your editing. I truly believe that outsourcing can change your business and your life, so I’m thrilled to be chatting with Alisa about everything editing today! So many of my students ask when they should hire an editor and my answer is always “yesterday!” but, in all seriousness I think it’s a great place to start your outsourcing journey, so let’s dive in!
