After Marge took some time out to reflect on ten years being freelance, she discovered the power of choice. The choice to work with clients who have the same values. To take a month off every summer. To start a second business that fills a creative hole. She chats to Steve about how she made those changes and what else she’s learned along the way, including how to adapt to the market, find a better work-life blend and keep the work coming in.
After she hit the ten-year mark in her freelance career, Marge took a step back to reassess. She hired a business coach and began reflecting on her values, her ideal clients and the way she structures her time.
In the process, she discovered the power of choice. The choice to work with clients who share her values. To take a month off every summer. To start a second business that fills a creative hole.
Marge chats to Steve about what she learned from that period of reflection and the changes it brought it about. She also talks about her joint side project, Museum Freelance, and the work they’re doing to support and lobby for freelancers in the Arts and Heritage sector.
