No matter what career path you choose as a freelancer, every freelancer must experience the journey. You can't just magically skip to the front of the line and land on immediate success.

Jesse Gernigin of Live Gold Rich talks about some of those learning experiences. Jesse gave up an entertainment career as a magician to become a professional freelance consultant. But his experiences on the road and in front of crowds didn't make his freelance transition any easier or faster. He still had to go through the process step-by-step, and the experiences he shares are going to give you a practiced perspective on your own freelance career and choices.
