I love that Lori thinks she's stalking me. Because it is *I* that is stalking *her*! I just got her to think it was her idea. [INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE]

Like Lori, I've known about this gem named Princess for a while, and it's lovely to get to hear more about your journey! I especially like your advice at the end about having to run the business as a business instead of "treating it like it’s some side gig because the start up costs are minimal and you can do it in your pajamas" HA! I always took freelancing seriously, but didn't start actually treating it like a business until relatively recently. Things just keep improving since then!

Great to learn more about you, Princess. I forget where and when we first bumped into each other online, but it's always been a pleasure.

I'm just over the moon to have Princess here on the blog. Thank you, Princess! Happy to share you with others, though my first reaction was to keep you to myself, no matter how stalker-ish that may sound.

I first got to know Princess through Jenn, as well, but a few years ago. I read your posts you had back then, Princess. Always loved your sense of humor and no BS attitude. Good to see you here. ☺

I've always had the same specialty--environmental sciences. It has expanded to include agricultural sciences, landscape architecture, historic structures, and higher education in the past few years.

I like the process of identifying and researching people and organizations I should target as possible clients, and I don't mind writing the cold emails. But the followup calls when I don't hear back from them will never be my favorite thing, although they've gotten easier just this past year or so.

I first really got to know more about you, Princess, on Jenn's podcast — so much fun, so much laughter, and a lot of good insights - and now here. It was interesting to learn that you started freelancing straight out of college, too. That was a good time for me to start because I really had nothing to lose.

Get ready for another "stalker," Princess!
