The Manuka Sunday Podcast Mel from Manuka Sunday

So you may be listening to this thinking — I’m ready to leave my nine to five, I’m ready to build my own passion, I’m ready to put all the hours I’m putting in for someone else’s dream into my own... Where the heck do I start...

If you’re thinking this — I was in the exact same spot as you are and I want you to take a moment to acknowledge that you’re in control. Even though your days may be hectic, you feel like you’re not doing what you want to be doing, you feel like there’s more for you out there but don’t know what it is — you’re still in control.



Today we're diving into my experience leaving my 9-5, my tips and takeaways, what I would do differently, hitting your tipping point, and having the belief in yourself to go after what you truly want.

Today we're diving into part two of attracting clients & opportunities. We're going to chat about where I started vs where I am now, what it looks like to train confidence, building a portfolio, networking, how to prepare for success, and more.

When I first jumped into the world of freelancing - I had one question that floated around in my heard all day long: "How do I start working with an elevated clientele"  Its not an easy feat to build a high rolling client list of businesses that are putting their full trust in you with the front end of their business! You have to start somewhere. 

So thats just what we're going to talk about - the steps I took to building a client list that I am so proud to be working with and how I'm attracting the next level of business. A few things we get into are: 


Building confidence
Networking
Honing in on your skin
Properly preparing 
Believing in yourself 
and bringing it all together to create a seamless client experience. 

Hope you enjoy!
