10 things I learned while freelancing
On the surface, freelancing seems simple; set your own hours, be your own boss, make all the money. Unfortunately, as most seasoned freelancers will tell you, this is far from the reality. Freelancers talk less about things like accounting, selling your services and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being self employed.
What People Will Learn:
- -How I found my first clients
- How I organized my finances and taxes
- Handshake agreements vs Contracts
- What to do when the freelancing life kicks you in the gut
- Long term outlook for freelancing
