Hey there! Today I’m excited to share a bit about my own story, how I landed my first freelancing client, and what I learned along the way. Lately, the number one thing I’ve been hearing from so many of you is that you’re scared you won’t be able to land freelancing clients.

I tweaked and perfected the actions I was taking to land clients, and I’m excited to share what I learned with you today.Check out the show notes for more information, including links and resources mentioned in today’s episode!SHOW NOTES: www.micalaquinn.com/episode286Thanks for listening!
