"All I wanted to do was what I love."
It was a rocky road to the fully-fledged freelance business I'm so fortunate to run today, but choosing my own passion over a conventional path helped me discover the joy of freelance work.
The journey that started with a few small copywriting contracts and progressed to building an agency of freelance writers is the topic of conversation with Matthew Motolla from Venture L in this podcast.
We speak about running with an idea when you’re working to a tight deadline, and the importance of understanding every single aspect of a brief before putting pen to paper. I still can’t believe I get paid to write, but choosing to do what I love and creating my own content helped me to position myself as a writer.
