#17: Do you have a freelance business, or two clients and a Gmail address?
This episode is based on a LinkedIn post I wrote this week, that generated a lively discussion. If you're finding the current freelance environment hard, you're not the crazy one: perhaps, all these years (or decades, or since the 1980s) you've been more of a fractional employee than a freelancer? If you enjoy this podcast, make sure to join the Training for Translators mailing list in the sidebar of my blog, and grab a copy of my new book, Getting Started as a Freelance Interpreter!
