The Road to Freelancing Success and How to Avoid the Potholes

The road to growing a freelance business can be fraught with bumps and potholes, but it can also lead to unimaginable success. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you found a way to maneuver past the obstacles so you can put the pedal to the metal toward your goals? Attend the IndyComm event on Monday, May 4 and begin your journey along this road of opportunity.

 

Lizz Mishreki, APR, an award-winning PR & marketing communications professional and project manager extraordinaire, will guide our round table discussion to learn:

  • When to outsource; when to have direct reports; when it's time to let a client go.
  • Growing vs. maintenance of your business-what does that look like?
  • Working on a virtual team-overseeing creative projects when you're not the lead.

Lizz will share her war stories and wisdom culled from 30 years of experience managing creative teams in-house as well as on the agency side. You are also invited to share your wisdom with fellow independent consultants in order to make this an insightful IndyComm discussion.
