Getting curious is a great treatment plan for cynicism.

A lot of this societal obsession with rage is bc people stopped having hobbies and hanging out.

Watched The Fall Guy with the lady tonight — and man, so much fun.

Literally anything Ryan Gosling does, I love.

Keep telling myself I’ll post here more, then forget. 🫠

What’s going on around here, folks?

Looks like we’re over here again!

Can’t keep up with these platforms anymore. 😂

If you’re into freelancing, content writing, and just plain fun life, let’s hang!

The best way to beat procrastination?

Do the hardest thing first.

(easy to say, harder to do)

Watched my kiddo get his first karate belt today.

At 10am.

On a Wednesday.

Wouldn’t trade this freedom for anything.

Every freelancer eventually learns:

The real grind isn’t finding clients.
It’s saying “no” to the wrong ones.

What’s bringing you JOY right now?

It’s my favorite dashboard gauge. Best of all, it doesn’t have to be impressive or “moral” - none of this “my beautiful child.” (And I have three!)

Nah, what’s bringing you J O Y in life TODAY?

For me? Just bought some fancy pipe tobacco, and it’s ⭐️ amazing ⭐️

Let’s build the perfect client.

I’ll start.

The steady head of an established small business owner.

The bleeding heart of a nonprofit head.

The fast feet of a startup founder.

Ear infections stink.

But the fish at the pediatricians sure don’t. 🐟🐠🐡

Hey #freelance and #freelancer friends — if you could go back to little ol’ New Freelancer you and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?

Christmas is in full swing at Casa Bartlett. At least, on the front porch.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done any real social media beyond consuming — and lately, consuming social has felt like living off McDonald’s with a side of salmonella 🍔

So rather than continue consuming, I figured I should create. So, to kick this season back off, here’s me!

Seems as good a time as any to roll back over here.

Feels like checking back into the old Rebellion Headquarters.

Forget market trends or potential revenue.

Your true north? The number of lives you've improved.

Make that your scoreboard.

*rustles papers*

So… are we all over here, now?

I often fear that my “quiet” clients are ghosting me.

The reality? They’re busy just like me everyone else!

If you’re a freelancer, don’t underestimate the value of outreach to past clients.

In 2023, I struggled to fit my family time, friendships, and passions around my work.

In 2024, I’m working to reverse that.
