    I don’t think many people realize just how much support you can get from a network of fellow creatives. I have been getting so much head-way accomplished in my business because of the support I’ve been getting from fellow Facebook group members. It’s been amazing and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I definitely have a problem with saying no so the learning experience will be nice when it comes my way.

    Thanks, really good tips. I can totally relate to that. I wish I would have known them before I started 🙂

  5. Lizzie says:

    Excellent tips! Setting up a network is really important, as is learning to say no. At the beginning of my freelance career I was so eager to please that I pretty much said yes to everything – even if I wasn’t a good fit. That only led to stressful client relationships and a lack of confidence, so now I fully exercise the word “no”!

  6. Nicola Tweed says:

    Great tips! I certainly need to refresh my portfolio and only showcase the work that will attract more of what I want.

  7. Sylvia says:

    Great article!!
    In reference to point #1, what did you start outsourcing first as your business began to grow?

    • Ciera says:

      Thanks Sylvia! I started looking into software for things like invoicing, handed my taxes over to a professional, and found a few reliable web developers to handle any coding on my web designs. Still working to build my perfect little team though!
