Bad On Paper17 Apr 2019

Ep. 49: What's It REALLY Like To Work For Yourself? Pitching, Finances, And Work/Life Balance When You're Self-Employed.

In this episode, we are talking about work, specifically striking out on your own and being your own boss. We talk about our past jobs, how we decided to start working for ourselves, and the best and worst parts of self-employment. Plus we get super honest about how we manage finances while being self-employed. Of course, we have lots of hard-won advice for anyone who is considering going out on their own.

Also in this episode, Grace is obsessed with a future BOP guest and You star, Kathryn Gallagher and Becca is obsessed @PuntaCaliza (The hotel G&B stayed at on their recent Mexico trip). And... BIG NEWS… we are going on a (mini) TOUR! Make sure to follow @badonpaperpodcast to be the first to know the tour details!
