After graduating with a degree in illustration, Andi moved back to his hometown.
Renting an odd-shaped office with no windows might not have given him great views. But it did give him amazing business connections. Resources and referrals that would set the first of many freelance plates spinning.
With a varied career, Andi is also enjoying the challenge of mastering freelancing with his latest clients…his children.
In this episode we hear how Andi:
- uses his email newsletter
- regularly jumps on Twitter chats
- uses being multi-skilled to his advantage
- found clients and shared knowledge by surrounding himself with other businesses
