10 Things I've Learned After 10 Years in Business


Listen Later

It’s my anniversary month (October 2022)! This month marks ten years I’ve been in business as a freelance editor. Ten years! To celebrate, I’m doing a podcast series on lessons I’ve learned, pulling back the curtain on the freelance editing industry, and sharing all the things—the good, the bad, and everything in between. So, grab a coffee (or whatever your favorite beverage is) and let’s jump right in!

We’re going to look at ten things I’ve learned over the last ten years in business. It was interesting to reflect on my business, see how far I’ve come, and acknowledge all that I’ve learned. My first lesson for you: don’t wait ten years to sit down and look at your journey!

In this episode, you’ll hear me talk about the following:

  • 02:28 – How procrasti-learning might be stopping you from succeeding.
  • 05:00 – Why I focus so much on thoughtwork and mindset in my coaching and the Freelance Editors Club.
  • 07:15 – There’s a big difference between an explanation and an excuse. I’ll give a sneak peek into how to tell the difference.
  • 13:10 – Just because we fail at something doesn’t mean we’re a failure.
