How to Succeed as a Freelancer - 023
How do you succeed as a freelancer and make money doing what you love? I have been freelancing for about 2 years at the time of this recording. Working for yourself can be difficult at first but totally worth it once you figure out what works for you. I want to share with you some mindsets and practical advice that helped me stay focused after quitting my salary job. Whether you're trying to figure out how to start freelancing soon or how to continue freelancing (if you already are), there should be a thing or two that you can take away from this episode.

Stop Dreaming & Start Doing - 020
How do you turn your dreams and aspirations into a reality? I'll be sharing mindsets and practical tips on how to accomplish this. I won't be sharing some generic "take action" or "just do it" tips but instead, I dive a bit deeper into my state of mind back when I quit my job in 2018. Aside from being able to create content (if you're trying to become a creator), your mindset and perspective on this entire journey is so crucial. Without the right foundation set in your mind, there is no way you will be able to take the proper action. By the end of this episode, my goal is to get thinking about how you can stop dreaming and start doing.
