Rejigging the workflow - it's all about financial freedom

Loading player...
After twelve years in a dynamic, independent publishing world, our host has undergone a major professional shake-up, transitioning from a reliable monthly salary to a pure commission structure.

The takeaway is critical: Don't waste energy mourning what change takes away. Instead, focus entirely on the opportunities it creates. We discuss the importance of controlling your supply and how seizing agency in your career is a crucial step toward achieving the ultimate goal: financial freedom.
