If I have an unexpected 15 minute window, I know that I can sit down and know exactly what to work on next. These pockets of time, when utilized properly throughout the week, are what allow me to get it all done. To be able to do this, you have a solid strategy.

What I did was take a look at my full skillset and figure out what I actually like doing, what I’m good at, and also what I could quickly start to sell. For me, that was freelance project management. Maybe you can look back at your work history and pinpoint a job that you really enjoyed: figure out why you liked it, what skills you learned, and then maybe build an offering from that.

You get to choose who you work with. You get to choose who you work for. You get to choose what you get paid. You get to choose when you’re done with something. These choices are some of the best parts of freelancing!

Kenza wants to help you run your freelancing business like an agency, to help you not be intimidated by the financial side of running your business, and to have the freedom to create whatever lifestyle you want to create for yourself and your family.
