The Writing Coach Podcast celebrates the big five-oh! Check out the links below for recommendations of the best episodes. One thing I didn’t appreciate before I became a full-time freelancer is that it’s nobody’s job except my own to help me improve. Enter the power of the self evaluation. When done properly, this will give you precise insight into exactly what you need to change, providing momentum and a clear answer to “What should I do now?” Learn three questions that can be used to uplevel nearly any aspect of your freelancing.
