Becoming a freelancer seems like an impossible pipe dream for many people. But imagine being able to set your own schedule day-in and day-out and only doing work you absolutely love. That’s not possible! You cry. That’s literally a golden, glittery unicorn that...

You’ve just finished up your very first freelance project, polished it to perfection, and have hovered achingly over that “send” button for much longer than you should have. You hit send, the client loves, and that’s it finished. Oh. I remember feeling a little miffed...
