Summary

You DON'T Need Clients to START FREELANCING In this episode of Join Up Dots, we shine a spotlight on the world of freelancing—especially how to break into it when you have no clients, no testimonials, and no idea where to start. Freelancing can feel overwhelming at first, but it’s also one of the most accessible ways to create freedom, income, and control over your life. We explore the real steps to kick off your freelancing journey with zero experience, showing you how to build trust, prove your value, and start getting paid for your skills—even if you’ve never freelanced before. Whether you're dreaming of quitting your job, starting a side hustle, or just testing the waters, this episode gives you the mindset shifts and practical actions to build momentum as a freelancer from the ground up. Freelancing isn't about waiting for clients to come to you—it's about creating value, showing up consistently, and trusting that every step forward counts. If this episode helped you rethink freelancing and your potential to succeed in it, share it with someone who's ready to start and tag it with #FreelancingFromZero or #JoinUpDotsFreelancer to spread the message.
