I’ve Been Living What I’m Preaching

And it took someone else to point that out to me. That’s why it’s important to have some type of spiritual foundation in your life because you never know who’ll be sent your way – for good and bad reasons! I’m in the middle of many projects right now because New3Creation is entering another dimension. If you’ve read my previous posts, you will see that I go head to head with fear a lot. For good reason though. Fear is probably the largest out of all emotions that humans deal with on a day to day basis. It’s the reason why good and poor decisions are made. It’s the reason why people chose to stay miserable, or why they chose to impose misery on others. Continue reading “I’ve Been Living What I’m Preaching”

Why Stellar Writing Skills Aren’t Necessary

I’ve come across so many people who are self-conscious of their writing skills on some type of level. Either they think they’re writing could use some work or that it completely sucks. The thing is there are folks out there with the poorest writing skills who are currently slaying in the blogging and freelance writing world.

The truth is, you don’t have to be a kick ass writer in order to make a real impression and make waves. You do however, Continue reading “Why Stellar Writing Skills Aren’t Necessary”

Do these 3 Things to Survive THE CHANGE!

The other day my phone was BOMBARDED with new messages and emails regarding social media changes, to include Facebook, Periscope and Apple products. Whooptie do. I don’t mean to sound sarcastic but the same thing happens all the time if you ask me. Something new is introduced to the world, everyone goes haywire about to pee on themselves and then the hype dies down…sooner or later something newer and better comes along, making it easy to forget what all the hype was about in the first place.

Communication Will NEVER go out of style

What do you have to say? Do you know how to say it? If not, your message will definitely come back to bite you in the fanny. We’re seeing it every day in the news, aren’t we? People say foolish comments and try to take them back (i.e. delete their tweets and Facebook posts). But it’s too late, the damage has been done. What’s even sadder is it’s something that could be prevented in the first place! Continue reading “Communication Will NEVER go out of style”

Value Yourself, Value Your Business!

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted here. I never imagined being this busy and caught up with trying to get other things done. But more on that later, right now I’d like to get to today’s topic!

I attended one of my networking meetings today. I’ve discussed the importance/necessity of networking groups in the past, so I’ll just reiterate briefly how they are VITAL in the world of solopreneurship. Being around people with similar goals and visions pays off immensely. I’ve been in this particular group for at least a year now and it’s consisted of the same group of people for the most part, so they’ve seen me from day one of hardly having an elevator pitch, Continue reading “Value Yourself, Value Your Business!”

Reality Hurts

“Reality is a mere illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein

So I had a recent disappointment with a client that lead to the end of the business relationship. But it also affected the friendship that was in place as well. We’re not too sure what the future holds, but as for now everyone is standing back and just leaving the situation to have space and breathe. In the meantime, I have to reflect on what happened, take the lessons from it and carry it with me on my freelance journey.

Know Your Worth

Anything that happens to me, good or bad I have a tendency to reflect on the could’ve, should’ve, would’ves…just a little bit. It’s important to do this because I’m a strong believer in looking at oneself along the way in order to learn and get better. Now for this particular situation that took place, I have to say there were faults of mine along the way. I was very lenient with the client/friend in terms of how much I was letting them pay me for the work I was doing. Continue reading “Reality Hurts”

Hello and Happy Tuesday to you all! I know, It’s been a HOT MINUTE since I’ve been around. Believe me, it’s not because I fell off…well in way, I did. From blogging at least. It’s because I’ve been heavily occupied with life, work and new clients. So it’s a good thing, right? Since I had a moment, I figured I should take advantage and give you all a shout!

I’m going to start off with a quote for you all: Continue reading “In the trenches…..”

I will say upfront – you don’t need any type of degree to be a freelance writer. However, there are specific skills that come with this line of work and are required in order to have a significant impact. So the degree is not necessarily required, but education is a must. Here’s why… Continue reading “Does Education Matter When it Comes to Writing?”

3 Ways to Lose a Client

businessman-449927_1280

I’m going to start this off with a simple quote I heard recently at one of my networking meetings:

“In the business world, there are only wins and lessons.”

Not wins and losses, but lessons.  Think about that for a moment. Every engagement and encounter has some type of lesson behind it. This is especially true when you’re in the business of making money and your interactions with people can make or break the moment.  One thing I have learned in this freelance journey is that the power of human connection can never be underestimated. Sure, you can accomplish a lot on your own, but knowing how to connect and stay connected comes with endless reward.  Continue reading “3 Ways to Lose a Client”
