Should I Even Try?
On today’s show: is it even worth trying to grow your freelance business?
That’s where Rakesh finds himself. He gets most of his clients from freelancing platforms like Upwork.
And the market for web designers and developers is just so saturated, he doesn’t even know if he should continue with his business.
If you’ve ever felt this way, today’s show is for you. It all starts right now on this episode of Freelance to Founder.
Oh, and really quickly before we start: the audio on this episode is a bit rough. We’ve done our best to clean it up. But between the audio and Rakesh’s very thick accent, you may have to focus extra to follow along. But we believe it’s important to share stories from all over the world whether a guest has a quality mic setup or a flawless accent. Thanks for supporting us as we support freelancers around the world. Ok, now on to the show.
