11 Things I wish I knew before I went freelance

I’ve learnt a lot of lessons over the years. Here’s what I can share.

Last month I made a mistake and I felt I should have known better.

It doesn’t happen often but if someone had told me how to handle that situation from the moment I went freelance then I might have made a better choice. Today’s episode is all about the things I wish someone had told me from the start. The silly little pieces of advice that will make your life that little bit easier, smoother and hopefully work-wise – busier.

Let me know what you think. Does this help? Have you got more things to add to the list? Let me know.

A few things we covered in this episode :

1. Get it in writing
   Rate card podcast 
2. There’s no such thing as procrastination

3. The work will come
4. You will fall off press lists – more than once!
5. You can work in your PJ’s – but it’s better not to.
6. Motivation can be created
