Ask If you could shadow any successful freelancer for a week, what would you want to observe?

[Brendan]

We often see the final results of a successful person but we rarely see the boring daily habits that actually get them there. If I could follow an expert around for five days, I would pay close attention to how they manage their time and how they talk to difficult clients. Understanding their thought process when solving a problem would be much more helpful than just looking at their finished portfolio. What specific part of an expert's workday would you want to see for yourself?
