Freelancing is not a job.

It's a business. And a business requires you to build assets.

Assets, not only of skill and portfolio and online presence. But assets of trust, reputation and credibility with your smallest viable audience.

These assets are built drip by drip with intention.

These are the relationships you build over time with a small group of people and earn the benefit of the doubt by consistently showing up with empathy-driven generosity, helping them get where they seek to go.

Freelancing is not about making our ends meet, it's about building relationships that compound over time.
