Obligatory "How is it December already?!" statemen Obligatory "How is it December already?!" statement 😂😂⁠
⁠
But seriously, how did we get here?? It feels like January was both five seconds and five years ago.⁠
⁠
Regardless, we're taking some time inside the #FreelanceEditorsClub this month to reflect on the past year.⁠
⁠
Many of us are go-getters who move from one goal to the next without ever truly pausing to reflect on the past (not speaking from experience or anything...🫣).⁠
⁠
So this month we're going to take that much-needed pause and look back on everything that happened in 2023 in a positive, safe space. No shaming allowed!⁠
⁠
➡️ Swipe through to check out everything we have planned for December⁠
⁠
ID: Slide 1: Freelance Editors Club: What's happening in December? Take a peek!⁠
⁠
Slide 2: Live Workshop. December is all about reflection.⁠
We'll spend 90 minutes reflecting on the past year—what worked, what didn't, lessons learned—and then take our discoveries and use them in our January 2024 goal-setting workshop. We’ll have a workbook to go through together on the call.⁠
⁠
Slide 3: Book Club. This month we're reading a fiction pick: By the Book by Jasmine Guillory! We’ll have a combo discussion/⁠
end-of-year party at the end of the month.⁠
⁠⁠
Slide 4: Coworking Sessions/Q&A Call. We’re going to have three⁠
two-hour coworking sessions PLUS one combo coworking/Q&A call. These sessions give everyone a chance to focus on whatever they choose. Members can ask me anything during our Q&A call!⁠
⁠
Slide 5: Meditations. I'll be offering three guided meditations throughout the month using the Insight Timer app.⁠ Running a successful business involves self-care, and meditation is a great way to focus your mind.⁠

🥳🥳 It's here!! 🥳🥳⁠ ⁠ Your Modern G 🥳🥳 It's here!! 🥳🥳⁠
⁠
Your Modern Guide to Freelance Editing is a roundup of resources for new (or newish) freelance editors.⁠
⁠
When I started out as a freelance editor in 2012, I spent *hours* scouring the internet for information. I didn’t have a clue where to start. So I created this handy little reference to save you some time and effort!⁠
⁠
There are over 130 links inside to help you with everything from⁠
⁠
⭐️ business building blocks⁠
⭐️ editing education ⁠
⭐️ finding community⁠
⭐️ editing references⁠
⁠
and more!⁠
⁠
Grab the guide for $5 at #linkinbio or head to https://tarawhitaker.com/guide to get your copy 😍⁠

😍 My Black Friday sale is on! 😍⁠ ⁠ I kno 😍 My Black Friday sale is on! 😍⁠
⁠
I know times are tough right now, and many of you want/need to elevate your editing businesses to the next level. I want to help you do that, soooo...⁠
⁠
​I'm hosting the *biggest* sale I've ever done on my coaching services -- 30% off all packages!!⁠
⁠
You can find all the information and book on my website (tarawhitaker.com/coaching or #linkinbio).⁠
⁠
I have very limited availability in December, so if you're looking to get a coaching session in before the new year, act fast! Otherwise, I'll see you in 2024 to kick off the year 😍⁠
⁠
You can book as many sessions/packages as you'd like at the 30% off rate and use them through December 2024. Not to be gross, but it has to be said -- my coaching will never be this low again, and my prices will be going up on January 1. I have to practice what I teach and raise my rates 😄⁠
⁠
The sale will be live until 9am CST on Tuesday, November 28.⁠
⁠
❤️❤️❤️⁠

Running a business can be tough even in the calmes Running a business can be tough even in the calmest of times. So right now, when the world is in utter turmoil (or when things are rough personally), it can be even tougher.⁠
⁠
In this episode of #TheModernEditorPodcast, I share a few of the things I do that help me keep moving forward in my business. It's honestly my most vulnerable episode to date, but I hope at least one of you finds some comfort in it ❤️⁠

🙋🏻‍♀️ I definitely do! And there's no shame in having a learning graveyard. But wouldn't it be great to set aside some time to actually go through those things we spent money on?⁠
⁠
That's why this month inside the #FreelanceEditorsClub, we're going to give members the time they need to resurrect some of those long-forgotten things -- without the shame or guilt.⁠
