We spent the entire month of March in The Academy talking about happiness…happiness (in the satisfaction sense) with clients, income, life, and business in general.

That’s because shaping a business that contributes to your life (vs. controlling it) isn’t something you do after you get your first big client, or start making full-time income, or finally pay off all your debt. It’s something you have to build into the very foundation of your freelance career.

That’s why your workbook starts with goals in phase 1. That’s why we check in with ourselves every 6 months in the Academy. That’s why I’m always talking about balancing income and peace.

Last week we talked about how careers are killing people and I’m gonna tell you something a lot of people don’t want to admit. Owning your business can do the same thing if you don’t take action from the beginning.

So the question is, what are you doing today, tomorrow, next week and next year to make sure you’re building a  freelance business that works for you? If you can’t answer that question, it might be time to check out the Academy yourself.
