Drew says…
Doing the actual work once you get it is the easy part. Particularly in the early stages of your freelance career (the first few years, not the first month), every project you get is like going for a job interview and getting hired by a company over and over again. You¹ll be hired for who you are, not just what you can do, so sell yourself and be prepared to be ’switched on’ a lot of the time in order to do it.
