Raw-Dogging Your Freelance Business Is Only Cute Until Rent's Due

from Pretty Philosophical · host Pretty Philosophical with Denée Seaton

If you're done guessing your way through freelancing, check out this resource. In my first year of freelancing, like many, I relied on cold DMs, Upwork, and lacked a solid plan, which didn’t help pay the rent. In this insightful video, I outline how I transitioned from being overwhelmed and underpaid to establishing a multi–6 figure freelance business. Discover the mindset shifts, strategy, and structure that led me to success. If you are still unsure about what to sell, how to package your skills, or why your client flow seems erratic, this video will clarify everything you've been missing. Remember, raw-dogging your freelance biz might seem brave, but it's not a sustainable business model. I'm here to help you truly go get paid. 00:00:00: Intro — the freelance “advice” that kept me broke00:01:22: My first client process (and why it was a mess)00:04:14: The mistake that kept me undercharging00:05:35: The specialized generalist mindset explained00:06:48: The real reason most freelancers stay stuck00:08:15: Why no one’s answering your cold emails00:10:50: How to build a $10k/month offer the smart way00:13:34: What separates high-paid freelancers from everyone else00:16:50: How to make yourself unfireable #freelancebusiness #mindsetshifts #clientflow #multi-6figure #strategy #freelancing See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/6882756f894a0a975761d177 Learn more about your ad choices.
