Financial Freedom: Freelancing 101

Unlike a 9-5 job, freelancing doesn’t guarantee a regular payday schedule. Mastering cash flow is critical to achieving success as a freelancer.
Join us in discussion with Freelancers Union and Moven on Wednesday, March 30th at 2pm EST as we cover the tactics you need to know to gain financial freedom for your future.

About This Live Stream

Unlike a 9-5 job, freelancing doesn’t guarantee a regular payday schedule. Mastering cash flow is critical to achieving success as a freelancer.

This discussion with Alex Sion of Moven will help freelancers establish a framework to master their cash flow by creating a baseline, actively understanding their spending habits, and anticipating what’s to come. It’s an improvement on passively budgeting based on what’s happened in the past, giving you the confidence and control to gain financial freedom for your future.

This is an interactive live stream, and we encourage you to tweet any questions before and during the live stream by using the hashtag #GALive. The stream will take place on Wednesday, March 30th at 2pm EST.
