Description

This episode starts with a cracker of a question: when should one take the plunge into freelancing?

We talk not just about the obvious stuff (money, leads, clients), but some of the things most of us discover after we’ve taken the plunge (time off, mode of work, loneliness).

Navigating the peaks and troughs is one of the hardest things about being a freelancer - and managing the transition to that from a steady/insanely busy job can be tougher than you might expect.

Fortunately, Martin and I are incredibly wise and offer several thimblefuls of our sage advice.

We also answer what is probably our first question from a non-copywriter. Yes, turns out we have ‘mass appeal’. The question is about beer and curry, and I’m sure you’ll have your own thoughts on this one.

As ever, keep those questions coming in - we love to ‘ave ‘em.

Ka kite ano,

Hayden
