    Getting Started When You Have No 'Skills'

    Getting Started When You Have No 'Skills'

    In this episode, I go over the idea that people can't get started freelancing if they have no 'skills.' I first talk about why the concept of 'expertise' doesn't really exist, and I move into why you should just get started anyway.

    Nevertheless, in this episode, I go over the plight of being interested in too many things, and how to identify where to focus your time and attention in the interim. Being too scatterbrained can be a detriment to making freelancing, or any side hustle, successful - here to help!

    How to Not Feel Ashamed When Promoting Your Own Products/Services

    How to Not Feel Ashamed When Promoting Your Own Products/Services

    We've all been there - myself included. Posting that very first 'self promotional' Instagram post, proclaiming to the world that you're selling a product or service can be nerve-wracking. "What if they make fun of me?" It looms in the backs of our minds.
    In this episode, I go over why feeling this shame is normal, yet how you can overcome it nevertheless. I go over my own experience with this feeling and why some self-work and introspection can help you move past it.
