  • How to focus your attention and make progress as a freelancer
    2021/02/15

    Most freelancers have a lot of ideas and feel pulled in different directions when it comes to their businesses. Do I launch a productized service? A course? A new type of service?

    During much of 2020, people around the world have been staying home or in lockdown during the pandemic. As a result, many of us are living and working in isolation, which can have negative side effects. Paul and I talk about how this is compounded by living in rural areas. We get into how we’re dealing (or...not dealing) with this current reality.

  • Costs to factor into your freelancing rates
    2021/01/11

    As a freelancer, part of your job means being on phone calls with clients and potential leads, editing or making revisions, doing research, etc. All of that takes time, and time = money. No business has 100% margins, so these costs need to be factored into the rates you charge...and you need to know how to communicate the value of that additional work with your clients. In this episode, we talk about how to do that well.
