Flipping the Switch from Hobbyist to Professional

Struggling to get started or taking the next steps in your professional freelance pursuits?

These tend to be the 4 biggest challenges holding back your sick gains:

  1. Systems
  2. Processes
  3. Routines
  4. Boundaries

In my opinion, these challenges are the behind-the-scenes work necessary to unlock your big breakthroughs and long-term success as a creative.

Today’s guest—James Martin of @Made.By.James—is a brand-by-hand-building juggernaut reigning in the UK.

He’s a wizard at showcasing his process within his content, which has helped him build client demand while educating his hungry, massive community (currently 220k+ on Instagram as of recording).

He’s also the author of his upcoming book: Your Honest Guide to Creativity and Logo Design.

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • The business side of this game.
  • How to avoid being stagnant and always learning.
  • His 5-step system for working with clients.
  • Streamlining processes and setting boundaries.
  • Promoting your work, logos, and more.

The Goal: To provide you with the next steps of flipping the switch from hobbyist to professional and taking control of your business.
