He also shares the secret knowledge of freelancing: people get hired because they get hired but … people keep working because:

  • their work is good
  • they are easy to get along with
  • they deliver the work on time.

“And you don’t even need all three.  Two out of three is fine.”

Well worth a 20 minute watch. 

Keep moving towards your mountain.
