Freelancing & Family - Art Director Sam Clark-Hall
Due to the nature of the TV/film industry, Sam's never had a 'proper job', so with over 15 years of freelancing under her belt has plenty to share on staying afloat financially.
Plus in recent years she's been balancing ambition with starting a family: doing something you love around those that you love.
“Do something that you love... that you would do even if you weren’t getting paid”
Here’s some of the key takeaway points:
Be sensible with your money, save a little extra for your tax and for your bills each month, so if you find yourself without work you've got a buffer to fall back on
When Sam started a family, she and her husband based their lifestyle on just one income as if she'd not work again; now that she does, it's all a bonus
Being freelance gives you great flexibility to be with your family, you're also passing on a great work ethic and the belief that you can have a career doing something you're passionate about
If your partner is a freelancer it's a real plus: they understand you're also married to the job and will get your crazy stresses and hours
Always invest in yourself, in your skills and technology
Be nice to people!
