                                        Hi,
                                     I’m Ine,
                            a (web)designer & photographer,
                           currently based in Ghent, Belgium.
                         (I’m also lead designer of Emphas.is)

                          I have been a freelancer since 2000.
                   And I made loooooads of mistakes during the years.

                                  You don’t have to!

                               Enjoy this presentation.
                           If you do, don’t hesitate to like
                                      & share it,

                   Have A Dream To Die For
                        because you will. suffer.
                         cry. blood. tears. die.
                           over and over again.

                            Outline Your Plan
                                 use S.M.A.R.T principle:
                   specific.measurable.achievable.relevant.time framed.

@matuvu




                        Define Your Wage
            because if you don’t earn, you have no bread on your table.
               (define what you need by calculating all your costs)
                not earning enough? reconsider your business plan!

                         Get A Good Accountant
                        a good accountant can save you a lot of money,
                   but most of all a good accountant thinks along with you!

@matuvu




                   Don’t Sell Cheap
                   never. ever. work for free.
                    unless it is for your mom.

                           Find Real Clients
                   when you can, ditch the friends, family and fools.
                             they’re perfect for starters,
                                   but bad for pro’s.

@matuvu




                     Teach Those Clients
                         learn from the 20% 80% rule:
                      20% stand for 80% of your trouble.
                   keep the good clients, ditch the others.

                             Charge Fast
                           and follow up your cash flow.
                         don’t play bank to your clients.
                   no money on the bank = no bread on the table.

@matuvu




                                  Network
                   it is the best way to find exiting new clients.
                              or to find new partners.
                                 or to do fun stuff.

Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                   Surround Yourself
    the best way to loose your uncertainties is to talk to colleagues.
                            unite with others.
         (consider co-working, join certain business groups, ...)

@matuvu




                       Measure, Evaluate
                            measure everything you do.
                     your time, your projects. your profits.
                   learn from your mistakes. and do it better.


Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                               NO
                   Learn To Say NO
                        try it: nononono.
                      it will earn you more.
                   if not in money, in quality.


Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                   Save For Later
                    don’t spend to ‘save taxes’.
                   if you pay taxes you keep 50%.
                   if you spend you keep nothing.


Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                      Live The Now
                   make time for your personal life
                            ‘later’ = ‘now’
                      it is gone before you know.


Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                   Most Of All Be Flexible
                   be prepared to fail, to change, to adapt.
                     sometimes stuff works, sometimes not.


Monday 4 June 12
@matuvu




                      It Is A Bumpy
                   But Adventurous Ride
