You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. - Steve Jobs

 

In this episode, I'm sharing my freelancing story. Not because it's special, but because it's proof that there's no one path to getting started. From tutoring and data entry gigs to podcast content marketing and VA work, I figured things out one project at a time.

I didn't need to figure out my niche from the get-go. It revealed itself to me as I explored the online workspace.

If you’re wondering how to begin, this episode might help you see that the best way to start… is just to start. 🙂

  • It’s okay to try things just for the experience or out of curiosity.
