My Top 5 Biggest Freelancing Mistakes
Posted October 9, 2007 in Business 120 Rockin' Comments »
It is often said we learn more from mistakes than successes. Sometimes it is nice to learn from another persons goofs rather than your own!
Every freelancer will have their own stories to tell, here are mine. I hope you find them useful and maybe you will share your own in the comments.
1. Under-pricing
Most of us will have done this at some point, many of us still do. Money is a difficult subject for a lot of people. While I am better at talking about money now than I was, I still find it an uncomfortable topic. Problem is, while you might not find it easy it is absolutely critical. [Click Here to Read More...]
How Fast Can You Get Back To Doing Business?
Posted October 8, 2007 in Business, How-To 27 Rockin' Comments »
If your main work computer crashed – I mean really crashed, and was a total loss, hard drive and all – how long would it take you to get back to doing business?
Would it be so long that it would cripple your income stream (and possibly cost you your best clients), or would it be a momentary blip that you easily recover from?
If you’d rather have it be a little blip (rather than a big “Oh, bleep!”), read on. [Click Here to Read More...]

It’s the week-end again! Although for some of us that still means work, take some time off, it’s really ok. Investing some time on learning something new or reading something interesting is always a good idea. Take some time to read those blog posts, I found them very interesting. I hope you will too! Many great resources in there. :)
I’m Sure You Could Use More Desktop Space

Even though I have a fairly large screen (wait! I have 2), I always have to hide applications, resize windows, like there’s never enough space. More space on my desktop would really help me be more productive. Well some folks have a solution, it’s called 360Desktop.
Grab all of your favorite web apps and content — web widgets, RSS feeds, AJAX start pages, or any part of any web page — and make them available any time, in an expanded photo-panoramic desktop. – 360Desktop
Living Project-To-Project?
Posted October 4, 2007 in Lifestyle, Productivity 7 Rockin' Comments »
I quit my “day job” a couple of years ago to focus more on my passions (music, design, writing, among others), and hopefully make a living doing so. Another reason I quit my job was because I wanted to be my own boss, work my own hours, and basically be free to work with/for whoever I wanted to.
Saying goodbye to 9-5 wasn’t an easy decision to make, but someone had do it, and that someone happened to be me. It meant a lot of things, and literally changed my life, but it also meant saying Hi! to 12-14 hours of work per day. And still to this date I rarely work less than 10 hours a day, usually 6 days a week, sometimes 7. The difference is I get way more things done in those 10 hours than I did back then in 14 hours. Don’t get me wrong, I love it! ;) [Click Here to Read More...]
