No one ever explained to you how to get by in this line of work. Or how to deal with a client who stops replying, a project that runs over time, a year without a steady income, or those moments when you just can’t seem to create anything.

Neither did anyone explain it to me at the start. And I’m still learning.​

 

Here, I’ll share with you what I’ve discovered along the way: how to choose the right business status, how to organise yourself without burning out, how to sort out your legal framework, how to manage clients, how to raise your profile without compromising yourself, and how to keep going in the long run. What’s worked for me, what hasn’t, and what I wish I’d known sooner.​
