The TRUTH That Cost Me YEARS as a Freelance Writer

If I could go back and tell my 2013 freelance writer self one thing, it'd be THIS. And not learning this (plus a couple other) critical strategies cost me more time, effort, energy, and money to get off the wrong train, find the right one, and stop working faster instead of smarter. Things won't just get easier. You have to invest in the right flexible, adaptable, long-term strategy to build your successful freelance writing business over the next one to five years with diamond clients, dream rates, schedule flexibility, and processes that do more heavy-lifting.

In this week's video, we're going through why staying on the wrong train longer costs you more in the long run, why you need the right direction and strategy before implementing speed, why you need to stop solving four- and five-figure problems with penny-per-pound guesses and methods, how important it is to do the math of what it costs to stay stuck, the beige-out of AI and how that's affecting your dream freelance writing clients, and why surface-level material will continue to burn you until you learn this sharp shift.
