008 - The Truth About Freelancing: An Honest Conversation w/ Erin Swanson [ALT]

Scaling Side Hustles

Join us for some unfiltered truth about being your own boss. With the great resignation and what seems like the majority of people leaving their 9-to-5s for the self-employed life, freelancing and entrepreneurship can get falsely advertised as a lifestyle of rainbows and butterflies. While our mission at Scaling Side Hustles is to encourage and equip our listeners to monetize their passions, we also want to be real about the challenges!
This is a special, off-the-rails, ALT episode with graphic designer Erin Swanson who gets real with us about the pitfalls of freelance work. We talk about the red flags to watch out for when taking on clients (scope creep!), battling loneliness, the need for mentors when you are your own boss, and energy drains that can lead to burnout.

So, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, you won't want to miss this insightful, at times silly, conversation among friends!
