A little over a year ago, Joey Banks and I were DM’ing each other in Slack about leaving our W-2 jobs and going independent.
So this week’s episode is a reflection on his journey working for himself and it’s as human and relatable as any conversation I’ve ever had on this show. We go deep into:
- Managing your pipeline of clients
- Creating a personal knowledge system in Notion
- Finding companionship as an independent designer
- Structuring your schedule and maintaining momentum
- Communicating your services and pricing yourself effectively
- Dealing with uncertainty and all of the unknowns in your first year
- a lot more
