Ask What is something you regret not doing in the first six months of your freelance business?

[Brendan]

The first six months of freelancing can feel like you are learning everything at once while also trying to earn money at the same time. Most people make decisions during that period without fully understanding the long-term effects. Things like pricing too low, skipping contracts, or not saving a portion of every payment are mistakes that seem small at the time but add up later. Looking back at how you started, is there something specific you wish you had done differently or started earlier in those first few months of your freelance journey?
