#211: The Missing Skills You Need For Surviving (And Thriving) As A Freelancer | With Sarah Townsend


Listen Later

You're finally out on your own as a freelancer... no more bosses, offices, fluorescent lights, and no more commute. 🥳

That also means you're now responsible for your own survival. No more regular paychecks, retirement accounts, paid time off, or coworkers who can cover for you.

Do you have all of the skills that it takes to make survive as a freelancer? If not, this is going to be a rough ride on the entrepreneurial roller coaster...

On this episode of 6 Figure Creative, I sat down to talk to Sarah Townsend, the author of "Survival Skills for Freelancers". She broke down the skills she had to develop to survive (and thrive) for the past 2 years as a freelancer.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • The importance of saying no
  • How to politely turn down a lead
  • Why working with the wrong people hurts you more than you think
  • Coping with self-doubt - you're not alone
  • How social media can be positive or negative for freelancers
  • Picking the right social media platforms for you
  • Managing your social media presence effectively
  • Why you shouldn't expect your followers to know who you are
  • How to focus on work as a freelancer
  • Separating personal and work time
