heya! 🥰 for anyone new here, here’s a little

heya! 🥰 for anyone new here, here’s a little peek into my self-employment story:

2016 —

Fresh out of university & had 0 clue what to do. Started a 6-month corporate internship at minimum wage working 40+ hours. Seriously panicked about having to do this every day for 40+ years.

Thought something was wrong with me & had a tiny (massive) quarter-life crisis.

Began freelancing in the evenings & weekends at $10/hr in ~desperate~ need to find something (anything) else. It was completely unstrategic, no niche, no idea what I was doing.

2017 —

Increased my freelancer rates to $15/hr then $20/hr.

Started making enough $ to maybe try it full-time? Made the little (petrifying) leap to do it full-time.

I was booked out as a freelancer a few months after.

Signed my first digital business management (DBM) client — she let me manage all the projects in her agency, her remote team & her back-end systems! 🥰

I was OBSESSED. I had found “My Thing”. We began slow traveling as well!

2018 —

Fully embraced the DBM role; I was working with 6-figure clients on project, teams and operations management.

Traveled more and increased my rates to $35/hr.

2019 —

Signed more clients. Traveled more & increased rates to $50/hr.

Decided to go full nomad & gave up our apartment (so scary as a risk-averse Type-A planner).

2020 —

Spent 6 months slow traveling in Asia. Helped my clients scale to 7 figures.

Began creating my first-ever (v scary) solo business (DBM Bootcamp) on the side of freelancing full-time.

After 200+ hours and 6 months... I officially had a business of my own! 😭

We moved to Prague. Loved it there!

2021 —

Let go of all my freelance clients (</3) so I could give my own business a full, proper go. Became a full-time business owner + eNtrEprEneUr.

Also became a wannabe Youtuber & started making videos. Moved to Berlin & love it here! :)

2022 + 2023 —

Adopted 2 kitties. Still get to run my business & make Youtube videos.

Did coaching & consulting on digital products, launches & ops as well. 😌 Got my trademark!

2024 —

Annnd we just hit 10K subscribers on YouTube!! 😭 Time has flown & I’m so excited to see what this year brings. 🤍

heyaaaa, if you’re new here - I’m deya! I'm

heyaaaa, if you’re new here - I’m deya!

I'm a freelancer, digital business manager, and most recently, a small biz owner and eNtREPreNeuR. 😌

I also make Youtube videos!

☁️ I've been fully self-employed since 2017
☁️ I love cats, matcha, cute cafes, carrot cake, 1,000+ piece puzzles and world of warcraft
☁️ I’m the proud founder of dbm bootcamp
☁️ my favorite work tasks are making project plans, color coding everything & obsessing over simple systems

sooooo if you're looking for no-fluff advice, actually-realistic strategies and an overly-enthusiastic hype girl for *your* self-employed journey... yay!

what a coincidence bc that’s exactly what’s on the menu. 🥯🍞🥖

4 red flags to look out for when on boarding a new

4 red flags to look out for when on boarding a new client as a Digital Business Manager or freelancer!👇

We’ve all heard our fair share of difficult client stories, but how do we avoid them?

👉This is why I highly recommend a trial month (or 2) or project so you don’t end up blindly walking into the lion’s den.

During that trial period, you’ll want to look out for these bad client telltale signs…

🚩They expect you to be available at a drop of a hat (aka whenever they need you)
🚩They don’t see your value (and they are sure tell you)
🚩They micro-manage you like a stage mom on toddlers and tiaras
🚩They don’t pay your invoice on time
🚩They treat you like an employee and not a freelancer

Spotting these red flags comes with time and practice.

🖤And don’t be hard on yourself if you come across these bad client experiences. As much as we’d like to avoid them, these firsthand encounters will only make you better at sniffing them out in the future.

But the one thing you can do to avoid as many of these difficult clients as possible is to trust your gut.

🏃‍♀️Be careful not to jump the gun, always have a trial period, and don’t be afraid to run for the hills if you spot one or more of these red flags.

What are some of your most telling bad client red flags?👇
