Notable Quotes

* Those small things, those small realizations at the beginning, when you’re 12 years in freelancing, those make a huge impact on where you are today and the rest of your freelancing business or freelancing career.
* My advice is, just do whatever it takes to get that first client.
* When you start with something new, you usually don’t have a lot of confidence in yourself, you’re usually scared. You still have a lot of learning to do, you still have a lot of mistakes to make and that’s what freelance platforms allow you to do. They let you make those mistakes and I guess most importantly they help you build your confidence.
* The underrated thing that no one talks about, one thing that you get from that is not even the experience, it’s not even the portfolio, it’s the confidence. You are now confident.
* And when you’re starting out you really just have to do it. Nike’s motto “Just Do It”, even when you’re scared, even when you don’t believe in what you’re doing.
* You guys shouldn’t worry too much about the rates when you’re starting.
* Treat as an OJT, like earn while learning. Learn and use the experience to charge more for the next job.
* It’s easier to succeed if you’re known for one thing versus being a generalist of sorts. Pick one thing and be the best at that.
* My advice is to write every day. None of the greatest writers of all time became great just because I’m bored, I’m great, no. They actually wrote every day, that’s the only secret.
* Try to read one new book every week or every month just so you have fresh ideas every time and you’re always learning.
* Before you take on that client build up your portfolio, find friends or maybe family members who have a small business, work on their thing, do some freelance work for them for a little and then you now have experience.
* You can’t just sit there waiting and if you’re looking for a job, you can’t just pray and a job is gonna appear in front of you, that’s not going to happen. Aside from praying you have to go out there and actually take action and do that to get a job. You cannot wait.
* The moment that you let other people affect how you think or how you do things you’re not going to be successful. You should be I don’t care what anyone else says I’m doing something good and I’m gonna keep doing it and keep working it out.
* You’ll only need one person to say yes to you and your life will probably change forever.
* One thing that I want to impart to you guys right now which really changed me, what really change the trajectory of my career is I built my personal brand. I worked hard on building a personal brand. Meaning, I work hard being known as a marketer, one of the best in marketing, I worked on that.
