Being Freelance Getting ahead - Graphic Designer Aaron Draplin
From designing for his buddies to speaking at events all over the world, Aaron’s been riding the freelance wave for more than two decades now, and it’s going well.
With speaking gigs, his ‘Big Three’ retainers, a stream of other freelance work, his own merch shop and the thriving product business he co-founded, Aaron’s got a lot on his plate. There wasn't a lot of balance, but he was determined to get ahead and win his freedom.
Aaron talks to Steve about how he got there, how he keeps it together and what he’s learned along the way.
This episode is sponsored by the very first Being Freelance course!
Steve’s rolled up everything he’s learnt from over 6 years of conversations with more than 240 freelancers.
There’s no ‘one way’ to be a successful freelancer, but this course will help you avoid the many mistakes that most of us make. Learn from our experiences.
