Freelancing Without Fear - Lydia Taylor,...

Mark Pollard
About this episode

Freelancing can smell like freedom but it can also reek of fear.
“I can’t wait to be my own boss…but what if I can’t manage myself?”
“I’m so excited about finding my own clients…but what if nobody wants to work with me?”
“I can’t wait to choose how I spend more of my days…but what if I spend them in ways that set me back?”

In this podcast recording, freelance strategist Lydia Taylor hosts a conversation with Sophie Cross and Howie Chan about specific tips that will make the freelance life feel less scary.
