ACT LIKE A LONE WOLF, NOT PART OF THE PACK

Hey, you.  And when I say ‘you’ — I mean it in the way of greeting you as a lone wolf who has arrived at the party solo. I do not intend to lump you in with the rest of the crowd.  I mean, let's be honest here — we’re freelancers for goodness sakes.  We always roll solo.

CALCULATE YOUR HOURLY BOTTOM LINE

What you are worth and your bottom line are two very different things. The main difference is that the former relates to your value while the latter is a calculation to determine what you need to charge in order to sustain your current standard of living or 'break-even' point. The beauty of this little bottom line formula is that you can adjust it to find out what your freelance hourly rate should be to achieve the life you'd like to live. Remember, know what you are worth, then ask for it!

GUESS WHAT, FREELANCERS? IT'S OKAY TO BE VULNERABLE

Hey there mi familia, how the hell are ya? It’s been a while.  Just shy of 2 months ago…I was in a pretty different mindset and this last Freelancer Club piece came pouring out of me.  I was pissed, I was done, I was over it. I had an axe to grind with the bullsh*t us highly-skilled, hardworking freelancers deal with on a daily basis from the snobbery in society that looks down upon us from its ivory-tower.
