My guest this week is Jeanne Noorman.

Jeanne faced a number of challenges when she decided to start her freelance writing business after being a stay-at-home mom since 1985.

She had little in the way of a career she could draw from—and no professional network.

Yet she overcame the odds and today is a thriving freelance writer.

This is Jeanne’s uncut story. You’ll hear about her struggles... the number of times she thought about giving up... what she did to push through all the obstacles... and the five recommendations she has for new freelancers...

If you’re starting out as a freelance writer or copywriter, you’re going to love this podcast interview.

My guest is Hannah Glenn, a Los Angeles–based freelance writer.

Hannah went through my B2B Biz Launcher 2.0 coaching program a while back. And she’s a perfect of example of someone who didn’t rely on luck to get ahead.

She had to work. And she had to work hard.

A few important points you’ll hear in this interview:

• You don’t necessarily need to have a previous career in a specific field in order to work in that field as a freelance writer or copywriter.

• You will make changes and adjustments to your positioning and your niche once you get out there—even if you spend months pre-planning.

• Steady and deliberate action are key. So are baby steps. Serendipity only happens when you start taking action.

• Don’t have samples? Or may your samples are not that impressive? That’s OK, start where you are with what you’ve got! And get creative. Be resourceful! (You’ll see what Hannah did.)

And much, much more...
