Episode 82 - Expanding your offering
You’re in business, you’ve got customers and things are going great. But there may come a point where you either want to do something else and expand your skills, or maybe your customers love you so much they want more goods and services - and they want them from you specifically. How do you add more services into your offering? In this episode, we talk about how to expand what you offer in a way that's manageable and sustainable!

Episode 81 - The 'Do One Thing' myth
In the olden days of our parents or grandparents, you had one job and you did that job for life - or at least for a long time. Now the ways of work have changed and people are used to switching jobs, but although having a “side hustle” is more common, there’s still some stigma around having more than one project, business or role as a freelancer. In this episode we look at whether you can have your cake and eat it by doing more than just one thing!

Episode 80 - Your freelance carbon footprint
Big business is rubbish at looking after our planet, so it looks like it’s up to us micro-businesses to lead the way. But can we make a difference? What can little old us do for the planet and why should we make this a priority as freelancers? In this episode we look at why considering your carbon footprint is important and share some practical tips for reducing it.

Episode 79 - Authenticity
When we first start out we will often turn our hand to anything in our skill set and work with pretty anyone who will do business with us. But we often find out that where we start out is not where we want to be. It’s not the ‘real us’. How do you work out ‘your thing’ and avoid doing what you think you should do? In this episode we talk about what it means to be authentic beyond an Instagram hashtag.
