A presentation from June 2014. No matter your specialty, as a freelancer looking to get work, you need to be able to manage your business, deliver for your customers,and find satisfaction in your chosen line of work so you can keep it up in the long-term.

You'll learn about:

- The "story test" (hint: you may not be telling the story you want to)
- The "structured work day" hack for health and profit 
- The "real cost of value" (or how to get paid like a champ) 
- The key to project portfolios (or staying busy with a project load you love)
