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?

[Pia Leichter @pialeichter]

If you weren't ready, the opportunity wouldn't be here.

@plmsoph congrats!!🎉🎉🎉

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. 👊

If you want to become a freelance writer, be prepared for the never-ending search for clients.

Throughout my (fairly long) writing career, I've thankfully NEVER had a dry month. 💪

Here's what I do to get more consistent writing work.

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.

[Samantha Anderl @SamanthaAnderl]

Building a freelance biz isn’t easy.

Putting yourself out there can be VERY scary.

It takes a healthy amount of belief and courage.

If you've committed to taking this path 👏🏻👏🏻.

In my 2nd @Forbes article, I walk you through 5 steps to get started.

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🧵

[WinningSolo | Matthew Fenton @WinningSolo]

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.

[Amaan Ali @amaanaliforreal]

Build in public.

Fail in public.

Succeed in public.

Document your entire journey, not just your successes.

[Amaan Ali @amaanaliforreal]

Don’t Let Your “ I should have started sooner.”

Become “I could have started.”

Just start.
