007: Leaving your 9-5 job to go full-time freelance w/ Eléna Potter + Kate Busby

Joining me on today’s episode of Scaling Freelance is Eléna Potter and Kate Busby. Eléna is a freelance designer and illustrator in Chicago and Kate is a freelance web developer who is remote in Lisbon right now. They came together to form the boutique web design studio, fittingly called Busby-Potter. And by teaming up, they offer start to finish websites with Eléna handling the design and Kate handling development.

Eléna, Kate and I discuss:

How they quit their 9-5 to become full-time freelancers
How to get clients as a new freelancer
Hourly vs Value-based pricing (and why this can make you $$$$)
What it’s like being a nomadic freelancer
Why they decided to partner up instead of staying solo-freelancers.
