This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing! I think the whole AI development sucks, but you are right that embracing it in some way is better than resisting it.
Thanks Dan, yes Instarted shifting things around a bit, adding blog posts for SEO and a few more personal projects. Still not where I want to be but getting there
Thanks for sharing this. Each and every point hit home for me. I’ve been freelancing for 15 years and can trace any of my dry spells back to one or more of these truths. Two that can’t be overstated enough: resilience and adaptability - staying courageous and consistently adapting are imperative. We will never “arrive.”
Great list Xavi. They are universal to any self employed person and I especially think the multiple revenue streams point is crucial to making sure that you can continue to freelance.
It's interesting Xavi that much of your advice is transferrable across many freelance / self-employed professions. I'm coming to the end of my self employed career in a polar opposite field but I can see how these tips can still apply.

Thanks for sharing this!!
No problem Manuela. I don't think we should unless it's necessary. Outside of work I'm happy to live an AI free life.
Great list, Xavi... I need to notch up on a few of these.
Nice to read so. Dan!
Oh, and the work on your website is really great. I know I looked before, but it seems like there is more now? Congrats!

Thanks Chad, glad they resonate and you're right when saying we'll never arrive, what matters is the journey and what shoes we wear to walk it.

Thanks Steven, yes, they can apply to multiple ways of working and disciplines. That's a strong point you mention, glad you can relate!
Some very good tips there, Xavi. I hope your talks go well.
Many thanks Andrew!

Clients, to photograph them,their services or products. It's pretty simple.
Yes, that's true! The market is saturated. I don't really know, I just hustle in my own circles, network and rely on lots of referrals.
