3 months to replace her salary and become a freelance content writer
Melissa is a freelance content writer who took just 3 months from deciding to leave employment to recouping her salary and becoming a full time freelancer.
Here are the key things I learnt from our discussion that can help you.
* Freedom of choice is what motivated her to make the leap, and how that differs from the perception of work/life balance
* Her very strict guardrails on the engagements she has with her clients
* The open conversation she had with her boss that enabled her work on side hustles whilst she prepared to go full time
* How she is working out pricing and what she envisages in the future
* How communities have helped her find work
* Simply asking for people for help, and how beneficial that was
* The simple finance and work balance goals that she has set for the next 18 months
