How do you find rhythm in the more chaotic parts of life, especially as a freelancer or creative?
There are many types of rhythm. Rhythm in music and dance are the first that come to mind, but there are plenty of other rhythms that exist that may go unnoticed. The way a person walks, the way we communicate or speak, the human body is literally brimming with rhythmic processes like breathing, beating, and our sleep cycle. So with all these constant patterns of process and expectation of consistency, how do you find rhythm in the more chaotic parts of life, especially as a freelancer or creative? Jaz has spent the last 15 years exploring how to find her own rhythm and I’ve looked in plenty of places that turned out completely wrong for her. There have been days she’s caught the rhythm, others where she has completely lost it, plenty of times she’s had to redefine it, and a major plot twist this year that changed it’s impact on her life completely.
About the speaker
For the last 15 years, Jaz has been serving Michelin-star designs on a gold platter, solving her clients’ problems and helping them grow their businesses. She’s the graphic designer, muralist, lettering-artist, website genius, and all-round business guru who’s helped hundreds of clients achieve their business goals. While she’s still a design superwoman to her clients, Jaz is now sharing her wisdom with her fellow freelancers with another title: The Pricing Queen.
If you've been to any of the last 5 months of CreativeMornings, you probably already recognise her face, or at the very least her signature teal or envious jumpsuit collection. For the last 4 years, Jaz has been mentoring her freelance students in all things pricing, giving them the tools they need to confidently calculate and charge what they’re worth, create a never-ending list of clients who happily pay up, and, ultimately, never go hungry again.
While her Pricing Queen title remains, Jaz now owns the Creative Business Kitchen, a business providing freelance creatives with all the tools they need for success, and also our breakfast sponsor. Inside Jaz’s Kitchen, freelancers can find help with undercharging, business processes, pricing with confidence, calculating rates, firing clients, finding hungry clients, raising rates, discounting, marketing, networking, and much more. From free downloads to affordable resources, masterclasses, and one-on-one help, Jaz has a solution to every freelance problem.
She’s the 6-figure freelancer with a taste for food puns, a wealth of secret recipes, and a practical approach to teaching. Introducing The Pricing Queen herself…
... Jaz.
