Why it is important to know whether you’re a freelancer or an entrepreneur: You have to decide whether you are trading your time for money or creating a business that’s built for scale, because your tactics for growth will be very different based on this.
How to be successful in either career: As a freelancer the only way to make more money if you can’t add more time is to raise your prices; you can do so by really customizing and differentiating your services from other freelancers, and ensuring customers are willing to pay a premium to have access to you.
Why referrals and community matter: How being connected to other freelancers in your space or a similar situation can help you leapfrog and grow.’
