The Forte Writer

I nearly lost an opportunity because I looked down on the client.

One thing freelancers do whenever a client reaches out is to run to their profile to do a background check. This is all just to avoid being scammed -freelance writers get scammed A LOT!

back to the gist, I checked out this person’s profile and my defences skyrocketed. It wasn't organised

Fool me once bla bla bla came to fore.
I became lackadaisical towards his offer. He wasn't going to have it. He wanted to work with me and kept messaging me to send a sample of works I'd written. Reluctantly, I shared my Linkedin Profile link with him and that was how I landed the gig.

It's been few years now and I've come to realise that big things sometimes come in small packages.

Never look down on your craft or someone else’s.

That big school you're killing yourself to work in may be your undoing.
They'd pay you so much but they'd take back every cent from you. You can ask around. 😁

I discovered my skills by first working at a SMALL school.

It's not wrong to do a background check on clients but do not make hasty conclusions to avoid losing big.

It's another Monday morning.
Go forth and be productive.
