Setting boundaries as a writer

This is incredibly important at all stages [The Writer’ s Life]( April 8, 2024 "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you." – Katie Reed Happy Monday, {NAME}! As a freelance writer, you ARE your business. You wear all the hats … marketing director, writer, research coordinator, proofreader, accounting manager, and more. And while it's great to be in control … It also means you need to take care of "all those people" (i.e., you!) … which isn't easy to do when you're trying to build and maintain a writing business. Balancing everything can be a challenge, and we all tend to put ourselves last on the list … taking a fast path to burnout, health issues, and stress. But it doesn't have to be that way! Living the writer's life is about freedom and enjoying your best life. So today in our [Monday Morning Jumpstart](, Ted and Jade talk about the importance of creating boundaries in order to take care of yourself. By taking care of yourself and finding people who support, respect, and uphold your boundaries, you will become a happier, healthier, and more successful you. [AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart Setting Boundaries]( And just like you are the lifeblood of your writing business, this week's featured expert, Casey Hibbard, is synonymous with hers. She even kind of shares her name with her specialty: writing case studies. (Her destiny was meant to be!) Casey discovered she could focus her efforts on writing "good news" stories and get paid $1,500 to $2,000 for just two pages of content. But the big pay for a short assignment is only the beginning … Once you know how to follow a tried-and-true template, you'll gain speed too … as every project follows essentially the same process. Making it easier and easier to turn out these fun projects faster and faster. You can make a great living writing these short, simple projects, when you learn from Casey, the expert who's done over 1,200 of them! When you sign up for our [Barefoot Writer Club](, you'll actually get FREE access to a guide that will take you inside the opportunity … You'll learn how to complete these writing assignments in 5-7 hours, which means you can get to where you earn $200-$300 PER HOUR every time you write one. That's at least two to four times what the average journalist today earns on a story! If you're naturally curious and good at telling stories, this is definitely a great writing opportunity for you. And businesses need so many of them, you can make an entire living just writing these stories (just like Casey!).
