I wrote this article for anyone trying to start or grow a business while managing life, stress, and self doubt. You’re not failing because you lack ideas or ambition. Most of the time, people are just trying to do everything alone without real support. This piece is about the difference between getting advice and getting someone who actually walks with you through the process. If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, I hope this helps.

The Difference Between Advice and Real Business Support

Something I’ve noticed over time is that most business owners are not short on advice. In fact, they usually have too much of it.

The Freelancer balancing a 9-5 Starter Pack 💼

Since 2020 doing both, full time job and freelancing, and these are my NON NEGOTIABLE:

• A contract that protects my work and mental health. 📝 • Motivational Spotify playlists that help me get through the working hours. 🎧 • A pricing sheet that answers before I overthink. 🤑 • Brandbook and presentation templates to deliver fast without reinventing the wheel. ⚡ • ChatGPT trained on my pricing sheet and my tone to write emails while I do my laundry. 🧠

Freelancing for me is boundaries, saving money for personal goals, and switching Slack accounts like it’s a personality disorder. 🤭

What’s in your freelancer starter pack? What tool or habit keeps you sane?
