As I enter my ninth year of that solopreneur life this month, I wrote this piece for Freelancers Union on the nine things I would tell myself if I was starting off again.
Always have cash on hand
Saying no is hard, but it’s worth it
Niche down in the way that feels most comfortable to you
Dedicate time to work on your business, not just in it
Talk yourself up, at every opportunity
Pay attention to changes in your industry AND in the broader freelance/consultant industry
Don’t work without a contract
Push back on non-compete clauses
Don’t be your own worst enemy
