Freelancing is liberating, exciting, challenging and rewarding. It's also an area of the economy that's growing exponentially as more and more people choose to move from employment to self-employment. If you're one of them, this course can help. 

Focusing in on the day-to day life of a freelancer, you'll explore the key roles and responsibilities you'll face now you're self-employed.

From setting realistic goals to invoicing; managing your cash flow to setting your rates; negotiating fees to filling in your tax return, you'll discover practical ways to help you create healthy and effective work routines now you're self-employed.

The course is delivered using two mediums:

  • In the videos, I'll explain a key concept or idea in more detail, so that you can put it into practice using concrete examples.

  • In the text, you’ll find reminders, some anecdotes, exercises and additional resources.

I'll also share some of my own experiences and advice, gained from more than eight years as a freelancer.

Ready to get going? Then, let's begin!
