As I enter my ninth year of that solopreneur life this month, I wrote this piece for Freelancers Union on the nine things I would tell myself if I was starting off again.
-
Always have cash on hand
-
Saying no is hard, but it’s worth it
-
Niche down in the way that feels most comfortable to you
-
Dedicate time to work on your business, not just in it
-
Talk yourself up, at every opportunity
-
Pay attention to changes in your industry AND in the broader freelance/consultant industry
-
Don’t work without a contract
-
Push back on non-compete clauses
-
Don’t be your own worst enemy
