Feature Article
An inspiring story came across my path about a 102-year-old who shared her secrets to a long, happy life.
Her advice aligns well with the benefits of freelancing, especially for those looking to transition into a new chapter of life.
I wanted to share some key takeaways that I got from her story, and show how they relate to freelancing. From staying active and finding purpose to building connections and embracing adaptability, learn how freelancing can help you live a more vibrant and flexible life…
Statistic of the Week
 | World Bank in Washington, DC reports that more than 46% of working adults are freelancers. (SOURCE) |
Still skeptical about freelancing?… Looking for a niche so that you can get yourself on the better side of the statistics?
Just when you thought you’d seen everything, here’s a short video of a man ‘renting an old man’! Turns out you really can do almost anything!
Japan may be onto something; is it coming to the rest of the world? Forward this video to your ‘old man’ friends and give them a great idea!
Note from Margret, Head of Support and Newsletter Editor: I’m fascinated by Japanese culture, so I did a Google search and came up with this article that goes into more detail about the business of hiring out “ossans”. Too bad this is a male-only field… I would otherwise be considering a new freelance gig in Japan! 😂
Enjoy the article!
Job of the Week (Live Wire, lots of sparks!)
 | On Tuesday’s call (Sept. 3) Winton took us through a live demo of what to look for in a client and how to set up the job on a word doc to prepare for writing the proposal. Next week, he’ll be writing the actual proposal starting at the point of picking out the playback to include and highlighting it. |
