Conscious freelancing women. The art of saying no in freelancing.

As The Freelance Coach working mostly with women, I was thinking about myself, my clients, my students, and boundaries.

No matter where you are in your journey to be an independent freelancing woman, we all struggle at some point because we act against our instincts.

This made me think; are we conscious freelancing women?

A conscious woman knows her boundaries and most importantly when to say NO.

As freelancers, we tend to overwork or be without enough work.

In the first case, we get too many clients because we chase the wrong dream and we end up being burned out.

In the second case, because we desperately want a job, we tend to say YES to clients or projects that are not aligned with us.

For me, every time I didn’t trust my guts, something wasn’t right in my business. A dodgy project, irritating clients, no alignment. Every time I had to retreat and felt defeated.

There must be a way to act and make decisions with more consciousness.

Who is (in my opinion) a conscious independent freelancing woman?
