Dear Freelancer Community

How does your freelance business grow?

With CPD, by raising your rates at regular intervals, going after better clients, trying new marketing strategies, expanding your network, and, quite frankly, whichever you bloody well want it to. It’s your freelance business. But grow it must.

Business is about testing, trial and error and learning from mistakes...

We asked, "What does growth mean to you for your freelance business?" ​

@Kymberley_C
For me it means continually moving. It could be working towards your goals (moving forward), it could be making new goals. It could be expanding your network or upskilling (moving sideways), it could be streamlining your admin. It’s consistently working towards bettering your biz.
/BillHinchen
Growth for me would mean becoming more hands-off. Creating stuff for the past decade has been great, but now I want to help others create. I’d like to find a way to move beyond just client > brief > create > invoice. Growth now would be giving creative direction and helping to others who want their chance to make the things (and hopefully help them do it better than what we have now!).
/MadhavKochunni
Growth is about changing fixed mindsets. Every time I become aware of a limiting belief or thought I challenge it. When I overcome it, I consider it as growth. And then I do it often enough to make it a habit.
@JessicaWalrack
Moving in my desired direction. It could be more revenue, higher productivity, greater overall happiness, a new dream client, a more streamlined workflow, less selling, more free time...all have signified growth at different stages.
/LenkaKoppova
Growth is overrated. I think that we're often misguided in chasing growth and trying to level up, when in reality, what we truly want is building a thriving business that supports our lives and delivers meaningful impact. Growth is not necessary for us to be able to progress, improve and have a successful business!

"Ridiculously readable square of awesomeness. I’ll be totally honest - I was expecting it’d be ‘alright’ but that I’d be skipping most pages as I do with every other magazine. So I was a bit shocked to find myself getting to the end in the kitchen last night, having not skipped a single page."

Dear Freelancer Community,

How does your freelance business grow?

With CPD, by raising your rates at regular intervals, going after better clients, trying new marketing strategies, expanding your network, and, quite frankly, whichever you bloody well want it to. It’s your freelance business. But grow it must.

Business is about testing, trial and error and learning from mistakes. We can take comfort in knowing that we’re meant to slip up and that change is the only constant. We’ve all embarked on this journey to gain more than just monetary rewards; it’s about creating a sustainable business that fuels our passions. Inside, you’ll find stories of freelancers who have done just that.

In this issue, we delve into creating outstanding value with pro headshots and expanding your revenue streams and passive income.

Penny Brazier asks if bigger is always better and what’s the deal with manifestation and abundance mentality? In Mental Health, Nia Carnelio explores why you should prioritise what success means to you as a freelancer.

Let’s commit to setting ourselves some growth goals (whatever growth means to you) and remember that the journey of a freelancer is one of evolution. Every project, every client, and every experience contributes to our growth, both professionally and personally. Thank you for being a part of the Freelancer Magazine community. Here’s to your growth, profits, and personal development. May your freelance journey continue to be a source of inspiration and empowerment.

💛 & 🌮

Sophie
