In this episode, Justine and Amy chat about:
How Amy turned her first professional opportunity into many more
The importance of building trust and maintaining relationships with clients
Asking great questions is better than pretending you know more than you do
Being nervous means that you care and want to do a great job
Choosing your criteria for what work to say yes or no to
The tricky line of being a high performer and trying to avoid overworking
Working as a woman in a male-dominated industry and the pressure that comes with it
Freelancers need to follow up with potential clients; people are busy and emails slip through the cracks
How Amy figures out whether a freelancer is a great fit for a project
Amy's dad's three questions to ask yourself when you're debating taking a job and more!
Enrollment is open for the Money Clarity program's Q4 cohort!
Most of us never had anybody teach us how to balance books or create a pricing model, and "unpacking money beliefs” probably wasn’t on the agenda either.
But just like you learned to ski, take epic photos, or develop your craft, you can learn how to set up a practical and profitable financial foundation.
Address your money mindset and financial practices head-on, while getting accountability and resources to help you reach your financial goals.
We have live coaching calls every month plus lifetime access to the six sections of the course. We even have a certified accountant join in one module to give you the ins and outs of the financial system.
I believe this is the only money course you'll ever need as a freelancer.
We start October 1st and go through the rest of 2024, so you can kick off 2025 with the clarity and confidence you need to reach your financial goals while freelancing.
