Overwork is a serious problem for self-employed people.
I believe that freelancing can and should be a way to make our lives easier, work less, and earn more...but between hustle culture, customer demands, and habits from employment, it’s too easy to end up working ourselves harder than even our employers did...and that’s not ok.
I think the biggest offender is employment culture...we tend to replicate employment experiences in how we treat ourselves as self-employed workers. That’s why I wrote this post on toxic
employer habits leaking into our freelance businesses.
Give it a read and let me know which one stands out the most to you. Later!
