When was the last time you attended a writers’ conference?
Almost every day I receive emails from frustrated writers who just don’t know what to do to get their freelance writing careers going.
Usually, these same writers tell me how they know they need help, but they just don’t have any money to spend on their writing careers right now.
Is that your situation?
Then you might want to think about this.
Any business venture requires an investment of time, energy, and money.
I don’t care what kind of business it is.
So why should you expect to start a freelance writing business without investing the time, energy, and money it takes to make it a success?
I’m not trying to sell you anything here.
I promise.
I just think you need to be realistic.
Professional writing is like any other career.
It takes time, money, and study to learn the tricks of the trade.
If you want to land those great assignments that pay well for your writing services, then you need to be sure you know how to deliver those services.
Even if all you ever do is take advantage of free resources that are available online to help you, then take the time and energy to do that.

Then take action.
I believe each of us can do anything we truly WANT to do.
But we have to be willing to invest our time, energy, and money to create the life and career we want.
