I'll be sharing some freelancer secrets throughout this podcast that you will undoubtedly find interesting. Contrary to what you may have seen on social media, a freelancer's existence is not always marked by a comfortable laptop lifestyle, significant design awards, exciting projects, and many clients. Having excellent design skills is only a tiny portion of what you need to know to successfully freelance, and many aspects of being a self-employed creative professional are challenging. Join me as I give you a sneak peek at 10 things you'll discover as a creative entrepreneur—hopefully not the hard way. Listen closely to this episode to find out the secrets!
