Speaker: Natalie L. Silver

Description:
Running a freelance business year in and year out can lead to lethargy and even burnout. Maintaining solvency while also focusing on growth can be difficult, and you may find yourself stuck in vicious feast-famine cycles, overwhelmed by rapidly changing technology, and discouraged about the future of your work. Or you may be feeling great about your business in general but just a little complacent on the future. In this presentation, I will discuss three steps you can take to fall back in love with your freelance work that will reignite the spark you had when you first launched your business.

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluating where you are in your business right now
2. Developing a plan that focuses on growth and learning
3. Creating methods that help you implement new ideas for your business
