As a freelancer, you're not an employee.
You're a business owner.
And if you're running a business, you need to make sure it's sustainable.
So part of your CEO job description is to manage your finances well...
...without excuses.
Here are 3 simple steps to manage your money as a freelancer.
1. Separate your personal and business accounts. Like what I've said, you're a business owner. So it makes sense to separate your personal money from the money you make from your business. It'll also save you big time from tax issues.
2. Set a business budget. Budgeting seems scary. But it'll help you plan out your monthly business income and expenses.
3. Set aside money for savings. Sometimes, there are clients who don't pay on time. This is why you need to save extra money in case you have a late client payment, non-payment, or no-work situation.
There you go.
Do this and you'll see your financial goals achieve in no time.
On this episode of our FLIP Chat & Chill session, we talked about how freelancing can impact your financial goals.
Nakakapressure yung madami kana investment, pero hindi mo pa talaga time magkaclient kahit nagsusumikap ka naman.
Mayron ba sa inyo na nag ka experience na pagsabaying magtrabaho sa corporate and at the same time nag work part time as freelancer. Kumusta ang experience kung meron man
Relax lang pero pag work, work. Minsan Overtime is life.
Kaya thankful ako sa VAB dito ko natutunan humarap sa interview. Sobrang suppotive ng mga coaches. And nagkaroon ako ng solid friendship(octoberians)
Ganda ng sagot ni Ms April 🙂
I believe in perfect timing para magkaron ng "the one" client
The best client is still the one na marunong magbayad (hindi ka tatakbuhan)
No! Go lng ng Go!
The moment you get into the mindset na "Hindi ko pa kaya", hindi ka kokontrahin ng utak mo. Papaniwalaan ng utak mo kung ano ang idikta mo diyan including negativity. Please avoid this mindset.
super agree coach anna
Newbies po ako, ano advise nyo kung saan muna ako mag start po?
Every rejections naman po may natutunan ako. Kaya tuloy lang.
Every time I am rejected, I tell myself, "Sanay akong mabasted". Then apply to the next job post.
Mas ok na tanggapin agad para maka move agad.
Learn from rejection , at gawin mong motivation yun para pagbutihan next time .. Laban lang ..!
tama po, analyze then move on na.. 🙂
Ang cute ng baby ni Ms April 🙂
Sometimes, time is is already there willing to be with you. It is just we fail to maximize our actions. Instead, we stay the conventional mindset. Para ka lang naniwala sa pamahiin at hula tapos mafrustrate. Pero at times, defense mechanism na lang to protect the self esteem.
While traffic pa, siguro just continue doing what you do until the opportunity comes.
Ask lng po.my mga clients bng ntingin sa sexual orientation..example if lesbian or gay
Minsan confidence din po sa sarili..May skills ka naman pero di mo alam kung paano i-market kay client.
Nakakatulong talaga ang mga webinar like this! To motivate especially sa mga newbie!
Chance/opportunity favors the prepared.
Just pray. God's plan is bigger than our plan
Me: Employee by day, writer/researcher by night 🙂
for me cguro ang pinakankakapigil sa akin mgstart is fear of rejection and yong fear na baka nde pa ako talaga ready..
MOVIES?!?!?!
Hindi tumitingin sa gender ang ibang clients. Minsan, gusto nila ay LGBT writer/researcher kasi LGBT has become a niche of its own.
Ganito ka-trapik sa EDSA, kaya ko pa mag-post 🙂
I believe the most talented are ljbt
I an pwd as well

Parang the way I see it, kailangan is to take the first step - mag aral, keep on learning kasi ito ang maging investment mo to try - tama po ba?
Advice? Keep an eye on your cash flow. Pag medyo napalaki ang gastos, doblehin ang sipag para mabawi ang nawaldas 🙂
Ma'am Anna, natatakot din ako sa bookkeeping. Ang ending, yung day job ko, related sa bookkeeping. Hehehe
true. keep on learning

Failure is inevitable. Be ready to look for another potential client.
