Francesca Manicardi: Do you diversify your business?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/12″][vc_single_image image=”6128″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text]Being a freelancer means you live in uncertainty, often consumed by anxiety: will I be able to pay my bills? Why am I receiving no emails? Should I move on to a new job (as an employee)?
I have no magic wand but I learnt how to survive without staring at my computer screen while no one is asking for my services. We’ll do some guided exercises together to find out how you could differentiate you offer, based on your personal skills and flairs: there’s no plan B, C, D like another because we are all different, we want different things and have different goals in life.
I’ll show you how important and fundamental is to do not invest all our energies on one single client, one single type of service, one single specialization.
