Summary

Graeme was working as a marketing manager when he realised he enjoyed writing copy. He dreamed of going freelance but didn't rush into it, saving enough money to cover him for six months before handing in his notice in 2016. He talks about finding clients, working from home happily and keeping everything balanced.

Episode Description

When Graeme made the decision to go freelance, he changed his mindset completely and started saving every spare penny he had. He stayed in a full-time job, freelancing on the side until he had enough in the bank to cover him for six months.

It’s around five years later now and introvert Graeme is in a good routine, happily working from home for clients new and old. He chats to Steve about how he got started, where his work comes from and how he balances everything without getting overwhelmed.
