Find Good Luck at Last: 1000 Freelance Secrets (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Growing up with a gambling-addicted father, Lori became fascinated with the subject of luck. She recently came across a study that revealed how lucky people operate – and the fact that unlucky people can become luckier. Using the study as the foundation of her class, Lori weaves in business skills and her freelance experience to show how a few practical changes can improve a freelancer's luck.

You'll learn:

how anxiety gets in the way
how intuition can be sharpened
how a shift in perspective brings good fortune.

Whether you're experiencing a run of bad luck or if you want to be even luckier, this class offers some practical tips for change.

Project Description
The first step in changing your luck is recognizing the good luck you already have. So what makes you lucky? Your mom? Your best friend? Your car? Simply share your good fortune, whatever (or whoever!) that may be.

Marketing & Communication

I’ve been working with artists and creatives to get the word out about their work for more than 12 years. I’ve been on both sides of the fence, as a blogger, handmade shop owner, craft show vendor and digital marketing specialist. I created MissMalaprop.com in 2006 as a place to spread the word about artists I loved. It's evolved since then, and I later ran my own e-commerce shop, where I sold my own handmade work alongside that of other artists.

Freelancer to Agency Founder: The Truth About the Agency Business (Skillshare)

Personal and Professional Development Business

When you first start selling your services, it’s common to hear yourself saying “I can do that!” to anyone with a dollar in their hands. Anything to bring revenue in the door. You position yourself as the solution, even if you've never provided that particular service before. It's easier to get sales when you can provide all things to everyone. Deals that bring in a modest little side-income. Momentum so you can finally quit your day job, and pursue providing services full time.
