Not every dollar is a good dollar — and not every client deserves a place in your business.

In this episode, we break down the mindset, red flags, and strategies behind one of the most liberating decisions a self-employed entrepreneur can make: firing a client. Whether you're dealing with scope creep, micromanagement, or flat-out disrespect, this episode gives you the permission — and the tools — to walk away with clarity and class.

You’ll learn the difference between difficult and disrespectful, how to spot the signs early, and exactly what to say when it’s time to cut ties. Real stories from the hosts show how walking away from toxic work opened the door to bigger wins, better clients, and actual freedom.

Key Takeaways:

What if the only thing standing between you and your first sale wasn’t your tech stack, your branding, or your website — but your mindset?

In this episode, the Fire Your Boss crew breaks down the five Minimum Viable Mindsets that every aspiring entrepreneur needs to launch fast, lean, and real. This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about validation, clarity through action, and building something people actually want.

You’ll hear why “done is better than perfect” is more than a cliché, how five paying customers can be more valuable than 10,000 followers, and what it really means to solve pain, not just sell a product.

Season 2 is here — and we came back with a BOOK.

After 10 months off the mic, George, Frank, and Jonesy return with big news: The Fire Your Boss Book is officially live. It’s the ultimate guide to escaping the 9-to-5 and building a life on your own terms — packed with lessons from our first 33 episodes, stories of quitting jobs with 2 hours' notice, and the exact steps we took to start our own businesses.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the book release, talk about what we’ve been building during the break (land deals, divorces, and new ventures), and share how scrappy, no-excuses content creation on a $19 mic and a coffee mug tripod helped us build an empire.

Whether you’re just starting your freedom journey or finally ready to punch out for good, this episode is the spark to get going — and the book is the blueprint to keep going.

• The origin story of Fire Your Boss and how it became a book

• Why quitting your job doesn’t have to be reckless — but it should be intentional

• Building a business from your phone, your truck, or your kitchen table

• How to use "constructive discontent" to fuel your escape

• Why 99% of people never make it past episode 3 — and how to be the 1% that do

• Our favorite hustle hacks (and why we’re not trying to be Bezos)

Grab the book:
The Fire Your Boss Book is live on Amazon. It’s raw, real, and required reading for every side hustler, solopreneur, or soon-to-be ex-employee.
