Your self worth doesn’t equal what, how much, and who you’re working for.

I’d be lying if I said the freelance entrepreneurial life was easy. There’s definitely phases of feast and famine, slow times and busy times. I go through dry spells with work, and I wanted to share what I’ve learned through these times.

I’ve been talking to a lot of people lately about these different periods in their careers, so I thought I’d do an episode about it. Today I’m giving you 6 tips on what to do during the in-betweens. These tips take work, they take proactivity, and I’m not always the best at doing them. But I think they’re important if you want to grow in your career and your journey.

It definitely takes a conscious choice to be proactive and to create when you’re not doing anything.
