Anna Codrea-Rado is a journalist, podcaster and author, whose book ‘You’re The Business; how to build a successful career when you strike out alone’ is a practical guide for freelancers and those running a business of one.

After being made redundant in 2017, Anna took the leap and began freelancing while documenting the highs and harsh realities of self-employment. 

In today’s episode of The Wallet:

1) We discuss how to build healthy routines when you work for yourself and how to avoid burnout when you’re setting your own schedule.  

2) Anna talks about setting your prices based on your value rather than your time

3) We look at how to budget and organise your finances when you’re self-employed. Anna also shares tips on saving for the future when you have a fluctuating income.
