The transition to a new year is always a time of reflection and planning for me. And when the news is full of economic pessimism, it can be hard to be optimistic about the potential for a freelance business.
But an eternal optimist -- and a realist -- you must be if you are to be successful over the long term. That's why I think you will find inspiration in the book Creatively Self-Employed. Here is an excerpt from the review I wrote on Amazon:
If you are dreaming of self-employment as a
writer or artist, this book will give you realistic insights about the repeated
struggles involved, from making money to loneliness to discipline to dry
spells. If you are already established as a freelance creative, you will find
reassurance that you're not alone in going through these common ups and downs. And all readers will find a celebration of the
freedoms and joys that come with a freelance life, which can quickly become
taken for granted.
