Today we're diving into part two of attracting clients & opportunities. We're going to chat about where I started vs where I am now, what it looks like to train confidence, building a portfolio, networking, how to prepare for success, and more.
When I first jumped into the world of freelancing - I had one question that floated around in my heard all day long: "How do I start working with an elevated clientele" Its not an easy feat to build a high rolling client list of businesses that are putting their full trust in you with the front end of their business! You have to start somewhere.
So thats just what we're going to talk about - the steps I took to building a client list that I am so proud to be working with and how I'm attracting the next level of business. A few things we get into are:
Building confidence
Networking
Honing in on your skin
Properly preparing
Believing in yourself
and bringing it all together to create a seamless client experience.
Hope you enjoy!
