This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Detective Rene Hammer aka Anonymous. They say:
"Hi Frankie & Steve,
My partner hates their job. Like, really hates their job.
Meanwhile, they see me being busy and wearing all the hats — but happy working freelance. So I’ve been softly encouraging them to become self-employed too.
They’re coming round to the idea. But crucially, they haven’t fully figured out what it is they would actually DO as a freelancer.
I don’t want to say too much about their job in case it gets back to their employer but hopefully you can still answer my question — How do you pin down what your freelance business is and does??
Thanks!"
