Thinking like an entrepreneur is not only for people who aspire to found startups. Editors can develop this mindset, too. By stepping out of editing’s analytical nature, you can think about the big picture of your career goals, consider the work that excites you and build a plan to perform it.
You’ll also need to get creative and develop a style that differentiates you from other editors as you promote yourself. These skills will help you if you want to increase credibility and responsibilities where you are.
And if you want to do part-time gig work or be a full-time freelancer, marketing yourself and your expertise can help you connect with your next client.
Lessons include:
- Shifting your mindset to be more entrepreneurial, whatever your role or career goals
- Enhancing your self-promotion skills
- Understanding time management and community building
You’ll finish this course with greater confidence in how to showcase your unique skills to your best advantage.
