"Help I'm Sick!" Here's How to Keep Copywriting Projects on Track (Episode 217)

Which of these camps do you fall into?

1. Hesitant to freelance (even though you really want to) because figuring out healthcare and other benefits looks too hard.

2. Diving head-first into freelancing … but there may be some “Oh Sh*t!” moments along the way.

3. Freelancing with a system and a plan so you have regular income and even better benefits than any full-time job could possibly offer.

If you’re part of the FRW community (or in the CCA!), my guess is you fall into camp #3.

(You may fall into camp #2, but that camp really requires you to know yourself and whether you can build the net as you fall. You’ve probably heard me say I’m not a fan of it, but it works for some people! If that’s you, please let me in on your secret 😉 )

We’ve covered how to build your own benefits package on this podcast before (if you missed it, you can add it to your queue right here).

So, on this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, we’re specifically covering what to do if you get sick.

As you know, many companies offer sick days. But, what do you do if you fall sick as a freelancer? You have a plan in place, that’s what!

Listen now so you’re ready in case illness strikes. (But knock on wood—knockknock*—it doesn’t!)
