Have you ever wondered why it is that we have to adapt life to work? Shouldn’t it be the other way round? If you want to get your job done until late at night and wake up a couple of hours later than usual, why shouldn’t you? The work is done, right? Or if you […]
Knowing that you are good at something but not having any “proven” evidence to show to potential customers is hard. You know you can do it, but how will you provide any references when nobody hires you… because you have no references, right? It is like a snake eating its own tail! What is there […]

OK, let’s be real here. When someone describes herself as a blogger, the most likely reaction she’ll get is a blank stare, a half-smile or a raise of both eyebrows – or even worse: A raise of only one eyebrow! And you know why I think that happens? Because “normal” people have no idea about […]
As I forgot to pack a book for the holidays, I bought the first one that seemed interesting at the airport. I have to say that I was sold the moment I read the back cover. It was about a 30-something woman who felt like she couldn’t get anything right in her life and nobody […]

Haven’t you always wanted to take a couple of months and move to the French countryside to write a book like Colin Firth in Love Actually? Or what about writing a Broadway play from a beautiful room with huge windows overlooking the ocean? (Something’s Gotta Give, anyone?). A dream job, right? Is there anything better […]
Do you want to know something crazy? Are you ready…? There are people who don’t like Instagram.

Let’s talk about excuses. About it being too early, too late, or not the right moment to start something new. When is it the right moment to start freelancing? What is the sign that we are supposed to get to make changes in our life? Right. There are hardly any external signs. Most of them […]
Making a big, bold change in our work life, like changing careers, quitting our job, or starting an online shop, feels scary. Sometimes it’s just the fear of losing our financial status, but most times, it feels scary just because we worry about what others may think. Whether it is our friends, our colleagues, or […]
Whenever I hear someone say that I’m lucky to be able to work from wherever I want, I’ll answer – or think – the same: “If you really want it, why don’t you start freelancing, too?” But you know what most of them say? That they “can’t.” That working online is a privilege only reserved […]
