Are you a freelancer or an entrepreneur? This question occurred to me while talking to Alex Mathers from the RedLemonClub a site that offers advice for the freelance creative. There was a time when I called myself a “freelance graphic designer” and had that as the title of this site. I wrote plenty of articles [...]
Here is an end-of-year assessment of my “improvement” or “progress” with my passive income and business. Ever since this time last year, I’ve been more serious about setting goals and passive income targets and I’ve been sharing them here on my blog.
