hiring — Season 11 — BEING FREELANCE - Podcast and Community for freelancers

Survival skills - Copywriter and Author Sarah Townsend

Sarah’s freelance life began back in 1999 after the arrival of her first child. Unsure how to be a mum or run a business, Sarah struggled and says it took her far too long to get to where she is now, mostly because she didn’t have the business skills she needed.

She chats to Steve about learning to find balance and put boundaries in place. Plus, she shares the story behind the book she’s written to help other freelancers survive without burning out.

Add value first - Content Marketer Ross Simmonds

From part-time, on-the-side freelancer to founding an agency that employs over a dozen people, Ross has spent the last eight years building his reputation and his business.

“If you can come in with value,” says Ross, “you’re less intimidating. Add value before you ask for it.”
