#181 Brittany Gardner’s Story: Overcoming Perfectionism and Embracing Challenges as a Freelancer

Unicorns Unite: The Freelance Digital Marketing Virtual Assistant Community

Many freelancers struggle with the constant need for perfection, which leads to procrastination and missed opportunities. Instead of making progress towards your goals, you find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and fear of failure.

My guest Brittany Gardner had a discouraging job experience that left her feeling undervalued and underpaid. She’s a UDMA School grad, a Digital Marketer's Workgroup member, and a Certified Copywriter. She’s worn many hats including managing a Starbucks while finishing her degree, creating digital marketing plans and websites for multiple nonprofits, and planning 300-person retreats. She helps small business owners and digital creators who crave an organized, creative, and strategic approach to their overall online presence.

Tune in to hear Brittany share about

• her UDMA School experience
• shedding clients who didn't align with her values
• how she found better clients who value her work
• the significance of not having expectations during slower months
• her journey of overcoming challenges and self-doubt

“You have to have the faith to move forward and overcome that imposter syndrome. Once you do, you'll realize you're capable of so much more than you think.”
