It’s 3 months into Bryn Mooth’s career as a freelance food
writer, and I’ve been interviewing her along the way. (See our
previous interviews: Asking Questions = Looking Stupid and The First Week as a Freelancer.)
In today’s interview, we talked about the importance of tuning
into what’s around you. Bryn says,
“Once you start thinking about something that’s next, or
something that’s possible, then you tune in somehow to those
opportunities you would have missed otherwise.”
We also discuss some issues related to the “lazy” days of summer
and the mindset of self-employment, such as:
– Is it okay to have an “off” day and cut yourself some
slack?
– The right approach to a non-productive day…
– Is the glow still going, or has it faded?
– Do you start believing the things you tell yourself when
you’re in the non-productive mood? Does that spiral into
non-productivity?
– How to deal with not knowing where the next project will come
from…
– Learning to be patient…
– How to interpret really enthusiastic prospects
– And more…
If you have a case of the summertime “I don’t wannas,” get back
on track by listening to this interview.
