Ok, we know we are late on sharing this post. However, we believe the information in this post is relevant to so many freelancers, and may spark thoughts and ideas that can help advance the conversation.
On Friday (2.5.10) an amazing group of freelancers met at CoCo to discuss what problems keep them awake at night. This is the second in a series of meetings that we will host here at CoCo in the effort to build broader collaboration amongst freelancers across disciplines. These sessions will be followed by an educational series for freelancers to help them solve and work together on making their individual businesses more effective, and at the same time expand their role in the broader community.
The first session had the following all-star cast:
- Deborah Vajda, writer
- Jenn Barnett, photographer
- Betsy Kershaw, marketing diva
- Janis Olson, writer
- Ketan Kakkad, founder of TheSmallWorld & co-owner of CurryUp
- Arun Batchu, programmer & owner of CurryUp
- Valerie Rigsbee, web designer & Broadway expert
In addition to great conversation and ideation, we enjoyed phenomenal curry food from CurryUp and Eric TremperTremble at Comfy Chair Consulting. You definitely do not want to miss any future curry potlucks – after all you only live once!
Kyle and I just realized that we must be getting old, because we find ourselves regularly fielding questions from younger freelancers and consultants on some essential business questions.
