The new Being Freelance art print is available now! Freelancing can be quite a ride, but it’s more fun together. The Freelance Rollercoaster has been created by illustrator @rubberpenguin who shared his freelancing story on the BF podcast earlier this year. Little did he know he’d be finishing off 2024 with this. I love it. I hope you do too. And it’s helping raise funds for UNICEF. 🙌 Thanks to Dan Bailey aka Rubber Penguin for such incredible work. 🍪🎢

You’re not alone being freelance. Especially when you join in with virtual coworking sessions. And you can try it for free with me and a graceful grid of freelancer faces this October. DM me for details of our bonus public sessions for Freelance Business Month. Productive and fun. Join our community - and join in! #freelancing #freelancer #freelance #selfemployed #smallbusiness #coworking #community

Monday morning wishing my webcam wasn’t as high definition. But recording a new episode of the @doingitforthekids_ Podcast - out on Thursday. Off to edit it. And to shave.

Here’s another way having a niche can clearly help your freelance business. If you know WHO your clients are. You can know WHERE your clients are. Then you go put yourself there. Be the only writer, designer, web developer, photographer, podcast producer or… in the case of @jessi_illustrates - only illustrator in the room! Don’t miss Jessica sharing her experience as a freelancer on the latest Being Freelance podcast. Check your podcast apps or YouTube! #freelancing #freelancer #selfemployed #freelance #smallbusiness

This month in the Being Freelance Community, I’m playing Match Mayker. Each Friday, BFFs (Being Freelance Friends) who have entered the draw get randomly matched with another freelancer… They then arrange to have a cuppa at a time that suits them 🫖 🍪 So we’ve got lots of folks getting involved who can’t normally make the live events I host in the group. Four Fridays. Four possible new connections by the end of May! If you’re in the community, come and be part of it. Good things happen the more people you meet and get to know.

Don’t know how you spent your Wednesday - but a bunch of us BFFs (Being Freelance Friends) from the Being Freelance Community headed to Rugby for an art day with @jessi_illustrates 🙌 Over the years we’ve seen Jess do such amazing workshops as part of her illustration business (and even painting murals and prepping pieces during our cowork calls) - finally we got to be part of one! Thanks for such an awesome pop up card session Jess! And to the amazing @rugby_gallery - what a place! Honestly, taking time out from your freelancing business to get creative, chat with other freelancers, laugh, lunch (at @thelounges Rugby) - is such a good thing to make time for. Come join us in the Being Freelance Community - you’re not alone Being Freelance 🍪 (PS - the pop up Being Freelance card shown at the end was made by Jessica Hartshorn of course) #freelancing #freelancer #selfemployed #freelance #smallbusiness
