127: Don’t Make These 8 Freelancer Money Mistakes

Author: The Two Lauras October 22, 2024 Duration: 31:49

We’ve seen (and made, oops!) lots of money mistakes over the years we’ve been in business. Whether you’ve realised you haven’t got enough money for that conference ticket, are feeling overworked and underpaid, or don’t know whether you can raise your prices, having any sort of money problems isn’t a good feeling. We want you to feel empowered to change your ways to be able to grow your business and treat yourself to that new iPhone! (If you want to, of course. Other smart phones are available!)

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • The obvious money mistake and why we’re skipping straight over it!
  • Why preparation and planning should become your best friends
  • Keeping a float in your bank account – and which bank account you need
  • All things pricing, including handling price increases and what do to if a client asks you to do extra work
