What You Missed at CFC 2012
CFC 2012 Recap Hey, old CFC friends! We missed you. Now, I realize that you can’t come to the conference every year, but you really missed some good stuff in Boston this year. I wrote about it over on the Creative Freelancer Blog. Hope to see you next year in San Francisco!
Inspiration Comes in Many Forms
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the boost of inspiration that I expected to get from my annual pilgrimage to the Creative Freelancer Conference. As it turns out, I didn’t get what I expected. Usually I leave this conference with a to-do list that’s close to a mile and a half long. But this year,…

Freelancers: Go Now
Have you been reading the Creative Freelancer Blog? No? Why not? Not only is it chock full of freelancer-related goodness, it’s also where I’ve been doing quite a bit of posting about all sorts of topics, like knowing when it’s time to make the leap from moonlighting to freelancing, parts 1, 2 and 3. Or…
Be Memorable For the Right Reasons
Those who know me know that I’m not exactly a social butterfly. When I go to a conference or other networking event, I’d rather come away with the business cards for 10 people that I’ve made a really meaningful connection with than exchange 200 cards and not be able to place names with faces on…
Googling You
