Under rated freelance skill: saying no. Whatever the reason, turning down work may feel hard. But, there are times it’s important to say “no thank you!” Remain professional. Stay true to your own values and skill set. Do you find this easy or not?

Most freelancers & consultants: _Overestimate how easy it is to land clients & income _Underestimate the work that's needed to do those things Do the work. Stay steady. Keep going. 👊

Productivity is a process of elimination, not addition. You only need three things: 1) A task. 2) A specific chunk of time dedicated to said task. 3) Zero distractions (No Twitter!) Then. Just. Do. The. Work.

Freelance Friends: If you don’t have a website yet, but you’ve already started your business and are working with clients, don’t fret—that’s usually how it goes! But once you’ve figured out your offering and pricing, it’s time to add “create freelance website” to your to-do list.

It can be awkward to name a price for your own work when you’re still building confidence. & sticking to that price can be tough if you’re faced with any resistance, real or perceived. So before you rate-slash, try these tactics for navigating common scenarios👇 A thread🧵

Simple-but-powerful mindset shift for freelancers & consultants: You're not just "doing the work." You're transforming the client. You're taking them somewhere they can't go on their own. It's not about what you do. It's about how they win.

Freelance life taught me there's opportunity after a lost job or bad client. Starting over is dang hard, but it's also rewarding. Never let one person or company define who you are as a professional. – at Alessandria, Piedmont
