Hey Amy! Thank you for being so open about your solopreneurship/freelancing life 🧡 When you say that you managed to make half of what you previously made on your job, I understand that on a bad day it may feel like too little, but honestly I think it's a) a lot, considering that it's achieved all on your own, and b) more realistic: we see lots of click baity titles about making 6 figures in 6 months or whatever, but I have a feeling that your experience might be a lot more honest and a lot more realistic :)
Btw I discovered your newsletter from stumbling across your Seeking Center podcast episode, one day after being laid off myself this November 😄 it was really encouraging! I've recommended it in one of my newsletters since I've also just started a Substack about Tarot, creativity, and career 😊 I'm leaving it here in case it's something you might enjoy. Thank you again for the inspiration! https://open.substack.com/pub/angelicasivieri/p/how-to-not-let-layoffs-get-in-the?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=m7s55
Hi Angelica! Thanks for your note. You're so right. I hate those clickbaity promises of instant wealth. It's just not realistic IMO. I'm sorry to hear about your layoff and I'm glad my episode provided some encouragement. I appreciate the recommendation and will check out your Substack for sure! Sending you positivity. -Ami
Thanks for writing this and congrats on the movie! Ten months isn't that long, so don't lose hope. Rooting for you!
Thank you, Judy! I'll take all the good vibes I can get.
