I went freelancing 14 years ago 🤯
What a time this was. Fresh from the fallout of a global financial crash. Social media was still in its infancy. The UK had a Labour government.
Different days indeed.
A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains true: freelancing is still a great option for those who want the flexibility to live life on their own terms.
Problem is, most freelancers don't achieve this. They take on work just to pay the bills, struggle saying no to their clients and consistently undercharge. They're stressed out and living month to month.
If this sounds like you please don't despair! I have 14 pieces of wisdom for you to mark 14 years in business.
No matter where you are on your journey, I hope these insights help give you a little boost ✌️
