I think it was on an episode of Seth Godins Podcast, Akimbo, that he spoke about deciding what you want to get paid for and what you'll do for free. It isn't something I've heard spoken about often but I think it's quite important. These days most of us put stuff out for free whether … Continue reading Paid work and free work
