Episode Synopsis

Ever dreamt of starting your own business but dismissed it as a possibility because you wouldn’t know where to start?That was me back when I was a teacher. I looked at people who were freelancers and wondered how on earth they got their clients. And I just assumed it was something I could never do. These people had huge networks of contacts who’d refer them for work. How was I supposed to do that? I didn’t have a network at all. I wish I’d known then what I know now. I wish there’d been a podcast full of tips and advice about how to leave teaching and start and run a business. So that’s why I’m sharing my top tips for getting your first clients as a service based freelancer. Listen up to find out. Follow us on Instagram: @byeteachingukSign up for our weekly newsletter.Music and audio editing by Escape from the Giant Bubble @escape_from_the_giant_bubbleGot a question you’d like answering on the podcast?
