In order to even have a freelance business, or any business, you need income.

How do you get income?

By getting clients.

When you are trying to step away from being employed, every little shift in mindset matters, every single change you’re trying to make in how you view yourself, operate and come into the business world should be an intentional decision.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over years of being in business and coaching students, it’s this: new freelancers often come into marketing completely unprepared.

Marketing Isn’t Just Social Media

To me, being an entrepreneur isn’t something you can learn from a textbook or lecture. It requires innate traits—things you’re born with or not.

I’m not usually one to talk about manifesting and visualization—I’m more of a hardcore, nuts-and-bolts, facts-and-education type when it comes to building a business. But I’ve come to realize that if you want to truly come into inspiration, you can’t do it without letting your imagination run wild.

I hope you’re taking a much needed break during the end of 2025 and finding time to focus on yourself, your business, and really map out a strategy.

In 2025, my guiding word was “Harmony”. I wanted to find harmony in business and in my personal life. I always felt like business was overtaking personal life and I was thinking about it all the time.

I stuck to my plan like my future depended on it. If I wanted to leave corporate, something had to change.

Starting and maintaining a business involves a lot of erasing, yet too often, new freelancers treat it like it's written in pen. If something isn't working, we think there is no going back and so, giving up is a lot easier.

You can’t deny that when you work corporate, you have one main job and you work 8-9 hours per day for this employer. That's not to say you can't have side hustles, or part-time jobs on the side, but 8-9 hours for five days a week makes it so that ONE job is the priority.

One of my Flourishing Freelancer members said something that caught my attention a few months ago...

Follow up! Over and over and over again until you get a hard not.

This is your livelihood, this is your income.

So, today, ask yourself: what do you have to lose?

When you want something, you make time for it. You put aside the to-do list and focus.

So if you are avoiding something you know you should be prioritizing, what are you sincerely afraid of?
