This is probably one of the toughest things I’ve faced as a freelancer. In the beginning, building up my portfolio required me to work in positions that didn’t pay much -- or anything at all.

I didn’t know how to program or do app code, so I outsourced the work. It took seven months from start to completion. My expectations were moderate. I just wanted to earn my investment back. If I hadn’t … [Read more...]
I would like to say that everything in my freelance business is going great, my blog is blowing up and I’m having the time of my life as a blogger. But the truth is, I’ve been struggling – a lot. And I’m not talking about one of those “wake up tomorrow morning and everything is better” type of slumps. I’ve been stuck in this … [Read more...]
