So ya wanna be a... Freelance Project Manager, with Sarah Duran [Ep 25]
Manage episode 312876229 series 3249302
Sarah Duran, Mama of a toddler, 2 dogs, and 4 chickens, and lover of all things Colorado, spills the beans on how and why she works for herself as a Project Manager. Throughout her career, she's been a third grade teacher, worked for K-12 nonprofits, and even got her real estate license! She then leveraged all of her experience to go out on her own as a freelance Project Manager!
Sarah resisted the freelance/entrepreneurial journey for a long time and tried to find the freedom and autonomy that she was craving. While doing freelance work on the side, she finally realized that the entrepreneurial life was calling to her. Now that she has a daughter, she knows that she made the best decision for herself and her family, and is confident that she’ll never jump back into the mainstream workforce!
In this episode, we cover:
- What it’s like to be a freelance Project Manager and how much you can make.
- How Sarah finds and keeps clients.
- How to leverage your existing skillset and network (no matter what industry you come from!) to create a sustainable business for yourself.
- How Sarah diversifies her income streams to help weather any storm.
- Who may be suited to be a freelance Project Manager.
- What Sarah's day to day looks like, juggling working from home with her husband and leaning on local family members for childcare.
