The year 2010 -- and a new decade -- will soon be here. It is a good time to ask yourself: What is the next step for me in my freelance career?
What is the next step for you in your business? Maybe you want to expand your client base... diversify internationally... or boost your income while taking on more of the specialty work you love.
Or maybe the next thing for you is expanding your circle of talented collaborators, improving your efficiency, or beginning to outsource work. How about beginning to pass along some of what of you know to others, while establishing yourself internationally as the person to go to in your field?
