Hey Friend!

Welcome to our very first Freelance Friends newsletter! We're over the moon 🌝 to have you. At FF we are all about keeping it real, just like we're chatting with our buddies over a beer 🍻 (or kombucha if that's your thing).


Have you ever stopped to think about your journey as a freelancer, entrepreneur, or business owner? We know life can be like a rollercoaster with its ups, downs and the occasional loop-de-loop. But guess what? You're still here, kicking butt and taking names.

And best of all - you’re not alone!
 You are now part of a growing community of like-minded, talented & beautiful people. 🤩

Take a moment to think back to the start of your career (even if it has just been a short time), and reflect on how far you’ve come. Every step you’ve taken is progress to becoming the best version of yourself.

As you once stood at the foot of the mountain, we are now standing, looking up at all the possibilities Freelance Friends could bring to you and the rest of the community.

We are a little nervous and extremely excited to get started. 🏃‍♀️

What’s Your Origin Story?

Do you want to be featured in a future email? Let us know how you got here! We want to know your origin story - how did you start your FEBO (see below) journey? Reply to this email to let us know.

🔠 Abbreviations

Let’s get this sorted straight away!

We’re going to say ‘Freelancers, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners’ A LOT - so it’s best for all of us if we abbreviate it to - FEBO (which apparently is also a fast-food chain in the Netherlands - not affiliated 🤪)!

While we are at it, Freelance Friends will sometimes be referred to simply as FF.

FF ❤️ FEBOs
