5 Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started My Editing 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!

Hindsight is 20/20, and this couldn’t be truer as I reflect on my entrepreneurial journey and talk about five things I wish I had known when I started.

In this episode, I’m diving into the following:

  • 01:46 – The number one thing I wish I would have done BEFORE starting my business full-time
  • 05:24 – Why I focus so much on mindset at the beginning of your business journey
  • 09:32 – How starting my editing business changed my reading-for-fun habits
  • 10:45 – Why I rarely post in Facebook editing groups
