We're back with some fieldnotes and takeaways from NOMAWO CLUB! Check out the shared knowledge of our freelance community here from Feb, 2022. https://t.co/0fbZniGVXE
Every successful business owner will tell you it’s a lot of slipping uphill before you can run. Taking the time to slow down, to learn, to ask the right questions will only serve you in the long run.
#Freelance & #consulting reminder:
Clients take a huge risk when they hire us. They place their budgets, their objectives and their reputations in our hands.
It’s incumbent upon us to honor that trust, every time. If someone gives you a shot, give them your best work.
@catballar Get a tiny thing working, and keep it working as you build one careful step at a time (...no mysteries about which change broke it, esp with decent tests)
Reserve time to think away from the code; to chat about challenges & get feedback; and to refactor as you get more clarity
Prevention and early identification of anything typically results in a quicker bounce back from anything - and that includes burnout and freelance isolation. Freelancer News provides a great look at identifying burnout and some tools to help. Of course, we're here for you too!
Systemise and automate what can be systemised and automated but never at the expense of what should be personalised.
The more automated you make the things you can, the more time you have to meet your clients as the individuals they are.
How have you found this balance?
We started CLUB and SCALE just over a year ago. In that time we’ve watched our community grow into themselves, both as people and as business owners. We've asked them about their greatest takeaways. Here's what they had to say: https://t.co/hgjEXSqYZS

He built one of the most successful companies in the world - not on money, not on external notions of success, but on deep-rooted values. No matter your niche or business, it's worth looking at the life and legacy of Kurt Hahn. https://t.co/Y4wUyeNNW5
Here's your #freelance reminder to pass work to other freelancers when it's not a good time or a good fit for you. It's a win-win-win for you, your colleagues, and the client.
There is no end to good ideas. There may be best practices already in place. But best practice doesn’t mean there’s not a better practice. As independent professionals, that’s what we do. We have a solution to a problem and we show that we have a better practice.
As a person and as a business owner, you are far more capable than you give yourself credit for.
And when you don’t believe in that, we’ll believe in that for you.
We started CLUB and SCALE just over a year ago. In that time we’ve watched our community grow into themselves, both as people and as business owners.
What better way to share some of the biggest takeaways from 2021 than by asking our community members!
