Quotes from the Episode:

“I wanted the flexibility to rise to…life and meet life where it was meeting me, and working for someone else wasn’t giving me that.” – Claire Honsinger

“Know yourself. Ask, what energizes me? What do I love to write about and raise money for? Even if there is a higher-paying client, I look for the work that resonates with me and aligns with my natural strengths. That clarity has helped me know when to say yes and when to say no.” — Patricia Beaumont.

 “My biggest piece of advice is to have a signed contract. It is worth every penny, not only financially but also for your peace of mind. The stress of trying to resolve an issue without a solid agreement takes a real toll on your time and mental capacity. Work with an attorney rather than trying to pull a contract from the internet. Just like we are experts at what we do, attorneys are experts at asking the right questions and shaping the right language. Having that protection in place allows you to move forward with confidence.” – Laura Gabel
