What you'll learn

Have a skill that you want to turn into a business? Great. This course will help you get from thinking about starting your own freelancing business to actually doing it. It is not built on idealistic scenarios but is based on my own experience of running such a business for over five years--going through good times where I had to hire five people in one week but also bad times where I had to fire two very good people. Also, it covers things like what tools to use, how to manage your projects and how to deal with difficult clients--but, most importantly, it covers how to get clients.
