Unlike the person who seems mentally permalinked to 1994, I’m constantly learning new things at a tremendous pace, mostly just because I love it. Too many want to turn this critical aspect of their business over to others, without learning even the slightest part of it. What are the learning lessons?

There’s a hell of a lot to learn about setting up an online biz. As freelancers, we need to move away from that penny-pinching mentality and start budgeting EVERY YEAR for business-improvement materials and coaching/consulting. I’ve been calling on outside help for different aspects of setting up my business.

These past customers might come back to you after having learned your true value to them. Avoid rubbing salt in the wound; these customers just learned a hard lesson. Such rates aren’t figured into their budgets. They’ll have a new perspective and appreciate you a lot more. Powered by frugal

If their price is beyond your budget, that’s okay – just tell them, then go look for someone in your price range. I know many people look down on them, but the truth is that they usually haven’t put in the time to make it work right or learned how to make the system work for them. Do use sites like Elance.

Many people out there have learned their lessons the hard way, assuming that because it’s for sale, it must be accurate information. They can be inspiring, they can be uplifting, or they can help you reach your goals, from learning how to juggle to shaking off low self-esteem to improving your business. And I still worry.

So my name is Taylor, and if I had chosen to pursue a salaried job instead of a freelance career, I could have avoided the embarrassing situation many women find themselves in today – discounted because of their name, before their education and skills are even checked.

We’re talking that getting a speeding ticket isn’t cause for panic simply because that wasn’t in the budget. And another one is lurking… write books to showcase my learning and experience and expertise. We’re talking I-can-buy-a-new-TV-without-having-to-check-my-bank-balance-first status. That’s “success” for me, in business.
