#130: 2 Things You Need to be a Successful Freelancer

Have you heard the advice that it takes 2 things to grow a business: time and money? You have to have a combination of both as fuel to a business. You can use money to speed things up and save you time.    Well as digital service freelancers, we kinda get out of the “have to have money” to start paradox. As virtual assistants, there’s a very low startup cost for us because we’re using our brains to create and do the work. Instead of money though, we need hard skills.    Skills can speed up what we charge and the time in grade it takes to be successful. But there’s one other thing that is pure gasoline to your freelance business: your network.   If you get these two things in place: you will grow 10x.   (And not make the same mistakes I did for years.)   This episode dives deeper into these two growth factors and shows you the winner’s path to running a profitable, successful freelance business.
