Next week I will have my first (paid) job as a freelance and I'm kind of nervous about this, because it forced me to focus on what I need to do to really start as a self-employed personn ! Your step by step schedule is a great relief, it helps me to look at what's important and calm down ^^ Maybe I will find out that it is not so hard as I think it is... Anyway, thanks for your blog, I've read it for a few weeks now and found good tips ! (and sorry for my english ^^) Hi

Online, you can do this by joining groups, lists and forums, or even by simply monitoring certain keywords on Twitter. Offline, you could attend conferences, trade shows and other opportunities to meet with your Ideal Clients face to face. Get to know them and you'll have a feel for what services are in high demand. Hope this helps! Hi Jerry, It’s a good idea to hang out where your Ideal Clients are and get to know what services they look for.

I started my company over a year ago. My only real client has been myself in promoting my music through my art. But I need to REALLY get things going. I've made my lists of skills I'm good at and skills I enjoy. This may seem like an odd question, but how does one know what skills are not only in demand but HIGH demand? Looking forward to the next email. Thanks for posting this Alexis. I started my company over a year ago. My only real client has been myself in promoting my music through my art.

You're not late at all. The important thing is to get started. You're right about being your own worst critic - watch out and get out of your own way! Hi Melinda! You’re not late at all.

Thank you so much for this. I've started my list and oh, goodness, it is so hard to come up with more than the basics. I guess I just don't pay attention to what all I do, or don't think of something as a skill. We are our own worst critics, right? I’m late to the party, but I am starting from Day 1.
