Anna Codrea-Rado is a journalist, a podcaster and author, whose first book ‘You’re The Business; how to build a successful career when you strike out alone’ is the essential practical guide for freelancers and those running a business of one.
After being made redundant in 2017, Anna took the leap and began freelancing while documenting the highs, lows and harsh realities of self-employment in her newsletter.
Taking the leap from full-time employment into the world of self-employment can open up new opportunities, earning potential and flexibility in your career, but there are also practical and emotional challenges that come with being your own boss. So, in today’s episode of The Wallet:
1) We discuss how to build healthy routines when you work for yourself and how to avoid burnout when you’re setting your own schedule.
2) Anna talks about setting your prices based on your value rather than your time, and the journey she’s been on over the last 4 years to price herself on the value she brings as opposed to the time a project might take.
3) We look at how to budget and organise your finances when you’re self-employed. Anna also shares tips on saving for the future when you have a fluctuating income.
