5 Urgent Things All Freelancers Must Do To Survive The 2023 Recession
Start now, prepare early
Change is in the air.
With the turn of the year, the dark clouds of an impending recession loom ominously on the horizon.
As freelancers and creatives, we have nobody looking out for us. We have no guaranteed paychecks, no benefits, and no safety net.
All we have is ourselves.
It’s imperative that we use the new year to set ourselves up to not just survive the recession but thrive in it.
