Being Freelance

Niche Resistant - Freelance Writer Shea Karssing


Listen Later

This time we're off to South Africa to hear the freelancing story of writer Shea Karssing.

Shea was changing jobs every couple of years. Boredom setting in again.
Taking freelance projects on the side to keep things interesting, she eventually realised she didn’t need a ‘job’ after all.

In this episode we chat about
- setting boundaries
- building a business without relying on social media
- working from home
- building a one-on-one network
- the benefit of writing her own book
- being ‘niche resistant’.

Because now the freelancing side hustle has firmly become the main income. Boredom banished thanks to Shea resisting the advice to niche. Her flexibility has become her calling card - it keeps her interested, learning, and happy - keeps her a freelancer.
