Vibeke Foss is the founder of Gorgeous Geek, an agency providing web design and online business consulting for female coaches and entrepreneurs.
After leaving a corporate career, she embraced her inner geek and began designing professional websites and teaching female entrepreneurs how to use content and marketing strategies to convert visitors into clients.
Today, Vibeke describes how she learned to let go of the employee mindset and embrace the perks of working for herself. She shares the benefits of using a coworking space, the strategies she used to overcome her anxiety regarding outsourcing, and how time tracking has helped her improve her productivity. She also explains the importance of identifying when you’re procrastinating and shares her detailed vision of a day of living more.
