The Art of Value Whispering podcast
In this episode
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with Marketing Copywriter and author of 'Survival Skills for Freelancers', Sarah Townsend, about how she has built her business and learned how to survive as a solopreneur.
Starting her own business was never part of Sarah's grand plan, but when her daughter came along and working full-time as a marketing account manager was no longer possible, her boss encouraged her to explore freelance work. It felt like the perfect move so she took the leap...but establishing herself as a new Mum and a new business owner at the same time was not all unicorns and rainbows!
Listen to this episode to learn more about Sarah's journey to date, and her advice for freelance on how to thrive in their new role and build a business their own way.
When you describe yourself as 'just' a freelancer, you diminish the value of what you do. Even if you work part-time, treat your work as a business and show it off with pride. - Sarah Townsend
