Pop quiz:

What do freelancers fear MORE than death, public speaking, and spiders?

Answer:

Potentially, maybe, somewhat looking desperate when it comes to getting clients.

It’s not your fault…back in school most of us were taught to stay quiet, not stand out from the crowd.

That being “pushy” and asking for what you want is bad.

You're taught that if you stay invisible, you'll never face rejection.

And while that kinda sorta works in high school…

In the business world, it means you never post about your work on social media.

You never go all in with content marketing.

And you’re afraid to actively make offers to potential clients (if I’m good, they’ll just come to me, right?)

But marketing isn’t desperation… it’s just marketing.

The stuff that you're avoiding doing because of the fear of looking desperate?

Exactly the same stuff that successful business owners do (without any hesitation whatsoever).

One of our clients is a brand designer who had this exact fear.

And when she finally overcame it, she had some of her best months EVER.

If you secretly fear “looking desperate” (or you actually ARE desperate), this one’s for you.
