#171: Why It’s Time to Rethink Your Freelance “Dealbreakers”

On today’s show I discuss how I think about freelance “dealbreakers,” which aren’t only the red flags I’ve noticed over time but also may simply be quirks of my personality or assumptions I’ve made. 

Here’s what I share with you in this episode:

  • Rethinking “strategy” and whether saying “I don’t do strategy” is holding me back.
  • What I learned from Ed Gandia’s thoughts on strategy.
  • Why I like to create “bridge” projects.
  • How I’m rethinking some of my more stubborn dealbreakers. 
  • How some dealbreakers are in my head and only cause me to beat myself up for not sticking to them. 
  • How you can evaluate your dealbreakers and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
