Hi Friend,
2023 has been a strange and incredibly hard year. As I look back on everything that happened this past year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for reading and supporting Happy Freelancing. I love helping people with their freelance careers and writing this newsletter brings me a great deal of joy.
I’m also very excited for what’s to come in 2024, including workshops, more writer interviews, and (I really hope) building community here. Freelancing can be lonely, and sometimes it’s nice to remember that we’re all in it together rather than all competing against each other.
My hope for you is that you make your freelancing decisions with intention, that you have (or can take) control of your business (rather than your business controlling you), and that you build on your successes. If this newsletter helps you to do that, then I’m happy.
Freelancing is hard and it’s scary sometimes, but in the words of a famous podcast, we can do hard things. We just have to be willing to push ourselves outside our comfort zone. And yes, I’ll be pushing myself outside my comfort zone, too. And documenting my efforts.
Enjoy your new year, plan for next year, and let’s see how we’ve all grown by this time in 2024.
And thank you for supporting this newsletter. It means the world to me.
Here’s to your continued freelance success,
Heidi
