An email heaving with events
This is an event-focused email. Come and play with me! I really want to see your shiny wee face.
Right now, my delete key is building muscle faster than a gym rat on leg day. I keep trying to write something and then back, back, back it goes to a glaring white page.
But you know us both better and what we agreed to, right? No overthinking the prose.
So, here goes. A short and sweet (and kind of mint tang flavoured) event-focussed newsletter.
Gimme your opinions
I’ve become incredibly emotionally attached to fixing the relationship between clients and freelancers. But I need your input to do that. That’s why I set up this survey on client management issues and encounters. You can answer anonymously OR you can give your email and go in the draw to win Rounded (accounting software) subscriptions, a 6-hour workshop with me, design help with Jess and more. There’s nothing suss, just ten minutes of you sharing, so we can make a change together. <3

Mastering the Art of Building Successful Relationships between Clients and Freelancers 1pm Sydney time May 17th
Obsessed with taking all the burden off freelancers to manage the clients, I have assembled a panel to talk about how to be a great organisation to work with from a freelancer perspective. It includes panellists from recruiting, marketing agency and startup life (because these are the three groups that give us the most grief or we’re plain scared of working with).
Come along – and bring your clients! – I have designed it for freelancer AND clients alike.
1pm Sydney time May 17th

Every Thursday in the main Freelance Jungle group (around morning tea time on Thursday) - main group is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/freelancejungle
