Pam Taylor
Pam Taylor had a successful career in corporate project management, but she always dreamed of being self-employed. She was hesitant to make the leap, but when she was laid off, she decided it was now or never.
The Journey of Freelancing
Self-employment is a journey. It's a journey of self-discovery, of learning new skills, and of building a successful business. It is a path that is full of challenges and rewards.
In this series, we follow several self-employed freelancers as they navigate the ups and downs of this exciting career path. We will learn about their challenges, their successes, and advice for others considering self-employment.
We hope that this series will inspire you to take the leap into freelancing and to start your own journey.
