You can even send an email just to say hi. Kelly March 5, 2010 at 7:36 am James, This one is a lesson you never stop learning. How might a relatively recent college graduate, who has not yet had significant work inside their field of training or interest, get started as a freelancer? There is definitely strength in numbers.

While training for competition, I learned many valuable lessons (beyond the kind that made sure you didn’t canter off to your death). We can only learn from our mistakes, and move ahead. I also learned that goodie from my riding teacher and it has served me well. Once it’s in your blood, you can never go back.

Fiction is great training to become a good writer. Of course, fiction isn’t just a good training ground to being a better writer. Like her, my appetite for reading fiction is much greater than for non-fiction and often the learning, insights and inspiration are just as great! Let me tell you a quick story.

I’d say the biggest lessons I’ve learned, both on the job and now in my post journo career as a writer/illustrator/etc…, is to accentuate what you do best and what makes you unique. It sounds cliche, but I just learned to out-hustle my competition. Nathan Hangen´s last blog. Brett Legree´s last blog.

Sure, it’s great to hit the snooze button and give yourself an extra hour of R&R once in awhile, but before you know it, you’re getting up at noon and puttering around before you answer your customer emails. It’s all too easy to fall into bad habits, starting with procrastination. For starters, institute a schedule and stick to it.

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. No, but I could give them better advice now.

His emails are usually brief, casual, and mention something like, “Have a nice weekend,” or “Hope everything’s good with you.” So it was weird to get an email that was so stilted and formal that it sounded like it was written by the Queen of England’s chamberlain to someone she was too polite to outright call a waste of space.

To avoid the hypocrisy, whatever a person’s talk is, they should also be walking it or learning to walk it. Most of us teach what we needed or still need to learn ourselves. I agree that there should always be something to learn, take action on or gain enjoyment from with every blog post. I agree with Marian.

When training young people in ad agencies I always coach them to start with the positives, with the things they like and that are on target, then their comments will be better received and will have context. However, you’ll have a huge learning curve in doing freelancing. Do use sites like Elance. Sarah Charmley´s last blog.

Many people out there have learned their lessons the hard way, assuming that because it’s for sale, it must be accurate information.

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did.

I learned something new today. Barbara – It’s funny, eh?

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

In most part, I had a lot of fun reading through applications and learning more about people. Like, say, emailing us to ask if this is the right email to email us at, when the email you should use to apply is written on the job ad. People were really excited to have the opportunity to work with us. We have this.

Keep a steady schedule so that friends and families can learn which days you work, and when. No matter how good you are at multi-tasking, you’re going to get a lot more done in a single hour of uninterrupted work than you would if you answered an email every five minutes and picked up the phone halfway through your 60-minute time frame.

See a flash of something interesting in an email and by the time they get your reply, they’ve forgotten their train of thought. How else will they ever learn that boring can lose them the people they work with? Been there.
