Description

This week, Rachel and Lynne are without a guest, as they share six small, actionable things they wish they'd done sooner in their respective freelance businesses, to become more visible, win better work, and run their businesses better. 

They discuss:

• How investing in professional headshots boosted Rachel's confidence and credibility
• How Lynne benefited from switching from a free Gmail address to a custom domain email
• Why Rachel put practical systems in place using tools like templates, trackers, Moxie, and Trello
• How Lynne found value in attending paid conferences and networking events to build relationships and create indirect opportunities 
• Why packaging her services (including creating a services guide) helped Rachel clarify offerings and pricing 
• And how regularly increasing rates – even in small increments – can keep up with rising costs while reinforcing value
