Freelancing seems like an intensively relationship-based path. I'm fascinated with your approach to this (and the almost automated "think of someone" -> "reach out to someone" way of working). If you ever write more about your philosophy on this in the salaried corporate world vs freelancing I am so sat!!
I came from a tech accelerator in Taiwan so I'm lucky I'm connected to a lot of founders already, that helped a lot. But it def took 1-2 years before I felt confident enough to reach out to more people. Lots of pros and cons. On months when there are fewer clients, I start applying to full-time roles haha bc of anxiety and doubt. When I have too many that overlap on certain months, I'm def overloaded and stressed tf out. Will write in more detail later this year~
