What do parenting and freelancing have in common? Well, I realise they have many things, but one of the most important is the need for a support network. When you become a parent, everyone keeps telling you how crucial a support network is, but you don’t realise it until you're there with your baby screaming all day long 🥲 Same, when you start freelancing, you often underestimate the networking aspect of your job (at least I did), but it’s one of the most potent tools you have to learn, grow, and gain clients. Have you built your support network yet? How did it help you and your business succeed? ----- ✨ Are you aspiring to be a freelance translator but struggling to win clients? ⬇️ Download my FREE guide on how to write a killer cover letter (🔗in the comments) #LItranslators

What do other countries/governments do to support freelance creatives when they are not working? France seems to have interesting model - does it work, anyone know? Creative industries workers are 50% self employed status - some roles more like 75%. We need to retain talent, but they have to survive the downturns. It has to be financial assistance in some form - what would work? At PGGB we have offered bursaries and free training - while that is a start, more needed from govt. to support too #film #tv #creativeindustries

Attention all freelancers and side hustlers! 📢 I recently witnessed a friend's frustrating experience while searching for a video editor on LinkedIn. What should have been a simple task turned into a maze of fake skills and wasted time. Many profiles boasted skills that the individuals couldn't even demonstrate when put to the test. The consequence? Deserving freelancers missed out on opportunities, while my friend ended up hiring a full-time employee at a lower cost than a freelancer. Let's be responsible with our profiles. Only list skills you genuinely possess and can confidently deliver. Your integrity matters, and it ensures deserving talents get the recognition and opportunities they deserve. Let's build a community where honesty and professionalism prevail. Together, we can elevate the freelance landscape in Pakistan. #remoteopportunties #remotework #job #success #motivation #jobsharing #cfbr #jobopportunities #freelance #Pakistan #videoeditor

it's always funny when companies say they are one big happy family, and always willing to listen and keep their promises, because the relation with their clients, partners (they mean freelance translators) and employees is important to them... ... and then they turn of the replies on their posts #Powerling #ShutYourFace #StopComplaining #WeDontCare #DutchTranslation

Motherhood and freelancing As a single mother and a freelance translator, I’ve learned that every day presents new challenges and teaches me a new lesson. Balancing work and motherhood has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of following my heart. Some things I've learned so far: 💜 Embrace Flexibility: The freedom to create (and modify) my own schedule gives me the flexibility to be there for my child. Whether it’s attending school events, dealing with unexpected sick days, or just going out for an ice cream together, I can adapt my work around my family's needs. 💛 Prioritize Self-Care: It's easy to put myself last, but I've learned that taking care of myself is crucial to being the best mom and translator I can be. Whether it’s an hour at the gym, a skincare routine, or reading a good book, self-care keeps me grounded. 💚 Stay Passionate and Motivated: Translation is not just a job for me; it’s a passion. I love bridging cultural and language gaps, and this passion keeps me motivated. 💙 Celebrate Every Win: Every completed project and happy client is a win worth celebrating. These small victories remind me of my progress and fuel my drive to keep pushing forward. To all the single parents and freelancers out there, remember that you are not alone on this journey. Let's continue to support and uplift each other as we navigate the beautiful chaos of work and parenthood. 💪 #SingleMom #FreelanceTranslator #WorkLifeBalance #Resilience #TranslationServices
