Freelancer Finances

"Freelancer Finances"

Emily Edmonds and Suzanne Fischer

A deep-dive into the world of freelancer finances - see "Bonus: Finances in a time of crisis." for a companion episode to this longer-form conversation about all things Freelancer Finances. This is a really juicy episode, and I encourage you to hit “play” with bravery and self-leadership; I have no hesitation in saying that this ep. is going to change your financial life.

In this ep., I chat to performer and financial wise-woman, Suzanne Fischer, about how we can get empowered when it comes to managing our freelancer finances (in fact - when it comes to thriving, in that space!)

Take the brave step, and empower yourself with this ep - I promise that you won’t regret it…

Some of the things we cover:

• Challenges that can typically come up.

• The feeling we are “supposed to suffer”.

• Where to begin?

• Steps we can take to get in control of our finances.

• Consciously choosing.

• Paying ourselves a salary.

• Calculating income as percentages.

• Putting aside money for tax, and agent fees, and how we factor that in.

• Play money?

• Money for singing lessons (or training equivalent).

• How we can divide up our accounts for maximum success and visibility.

• Financial sustainability.

• Planning for a family.

• Future planning - pensions, and investing.

• Not feeling we have to put our life on hold, to be a performer.

• Limiting beliefs around side-hustling.

• Golden takeaways for action, today.
