It doesn’t matter how experienced you are as a translator and interpreter or if your service is excellent rather than averagely good. What makes the difference between making €1,000 or €10,000 a month greatly depends on how your run your business. But money is not everything: your quality of life and running your business at your own terms are also key.
Are most of your translations due by yesterday? Do you dream about making your clients realise they don’t actually need that translation so urgently? In any case, don’t you think the rush should be economically worthwhile for you?
