I'm not big on commenting but I have to say thank you for your honesty and sharing all the details of your creative and professional journey. It's so helpful even for us who already do illustration for a living. I'm so glad I became your patron, should done it earlier.

that's absolutely true! I'm going to start investing next year. the savings account was a short-term solution for me, so that i could get the tax benefits without having to dive into learning about investing.

Please put your retirement in something slightly better than a savings account! I don't know what's available in the Netherlands but you should at least have access to some type of basic, low-risk investment where you give your money to the bank for X years and they give you higher interest on your savings in return.

Loish

haha yeah taking breaks doesn't really come naturally to me! glad you liked the video!

Jo

Thank you so much for sharing your perspectives and experiences on this. I love your presenting/speaking style - it makes everything so much more personal and relatable! I loved the moment you wanted to take a sip of coffee, haha - I'm a high school teacher and I do this too (and tend to talk a lot as well!)

Loish

hey! i have some resources in the last video post (https://www.patreon.com/posts/39775820), the GRIP book helped me a lot with productivity but it's only in dutch for now sadly!

Loish

glad you liked it :)

This is so so special that you’re doing this for us. I am a beginner on this journey and it can get really overwhelming! I am enjoying these tips so much, it feels like a class of freelance artist 101 Hahaha Thank you!! I’m going to continue to watch the other parts now ❤️

It really is! In my country freelancing is not really a thing you hear around a lot but I'll see what I can do! This video really made me realize that's something I should start thinking about seriously!

Loish

yeah, it's complicated. when i started out it was just all so vague to me and i really avoided learning about it until i had that wake up call. but once i took the time to learn it, it became much more manageable!

Loish

thank you! i sometimes feel like this puts me in a bad position to give advice to others. so i always want to clarify that so that people know that my personal experience in certain areas may be limited.

Mowen

Try not to feel like a bad person just because you're lucky in life! You still recognize the areas you are lucky in so you are doing it right and appreciating the opportunities you have. :)

Marzia

Thank you so much for sharing some of the more technical sides as well! To start off as a freelancer sounds really hard when you know nothing about taxes and such

no reason to apologize at all, Lois (in your video). Hearing your story is fascinating.

I was thinking a podcast would be quite convenient for us and it'll save some recording space for you too😆 Thank you so much for putting out such detailed videos!! 😊
