FYL #91: Laura Pennington | 6 Figure Freelancer

Do you wish you were more in control of your time? Or the tasks you had to do day-to-day? Or event the people you work with? If not, perhaps you should consider being a freelancer. Freelancing is basically being self-employed and not committed to any one person or company. Becoming a freelancer can be liberating and also a little terrifying at the same time, but how does it work?

As a self-employed freelancer, you usually offer services to multiple clients at a time. Working as your own boss, you also set your own service menu, price, and most of all you decide on your clients. As long as you already know the skill you plan to offer, getting started is simply a matter of finding your first client.

We invited Laura Pennington, the 6-Figure Freelancer, to share her experience and how freelancing changed her life (and how ti can change yours). She also shares with us the biggest lessons she have learned as she became a freelancer. There are pros and cons, and triumph comes from those who plan their business and provide high quality work.

Let’s dig deep into this episode with her as she opens up about:

The Good, the Bad and the Awesome about being a Freelancer
Tips to determine your ‘perfect dream’ client
How to become a successful Freelancer
Most of all, how to price yourself as a Freelancer

About Laura:

Laura Pennington worked as a seventh-grade teacher in Baltimore City before burning out and experiencing a total body shutdown due to exhaustion. In the midst of a PhD program, she suddenly realized that traditional education was not for her. She traded in her 18 hour days to freelance on the side and quickly scaled that freelance writing business to the six-figure mark in less than 18 months after getting started. She now teaches others how to have a flexible, at-home career for the optimal lifestyle.
