I own my time.
And my clients benefit from that.
Here's what I wrote on April 22nd, 2021 ( a little revised):
As a full-time employee, I never had the time to do things out of pure curiosity. Yesterday I attended two webinars. Today I will attend another, and the day before, I was at an online conference.
All this in the middle of the day—during regular work hours.
And that's o.k.
I can still finish my current writing assignments at unconventional hours, even if that means working in the middle of the night.
Why is this awesome?
🔑 By attending my clients' webinars, I understand their products and marketing messages better. I can also pick up questions from their audience and get inspired.
🔑 I learn about new technologies and companies so I can offer my services to them. When they hire me, I'll already know a thing or two about what they do.
🔑 I polish my writing skills with advice from established copy- and content pros, and I stay on top of the latest content marketing trends.
The beauty is that I have the freedom to choose when to work on clients’ assignments and when to spend time following my curiosity (and how much).
Now, in January 2023, I think it’s even more than that.
The fact that I own my time and set my priorities allows me to channel my energies more effectively. The result is better focus and better quality outcomes.
