This month, I am celebrating 10 years of full-time freelancing! I can’t quite believe it’s been that long, but I’ve loved nearly everything about it. 10 years of freedom!  Here’s what I share with you in this episode: What the freedom of freelancing has meant to me and what it has allowed me to do. How I now realize I was never cut out for a desk job.  How I adapt my work schedule around my life schedule.  The freedom of not having to deal with the drama of a workplace! At least three lessons I learned as a freelancer.  A few things I wished I had done sooner as a freelancer.  Biz Bite: Make it easy for clients to find you!
