What is important for you as a self-employed?
Katrijn Everaerd
Independent project manager for creatives professionals, I support creatives
''Freedom, being myself for 100%, work with whom and for who I want, being my own CEO, direct and long-term relationships with my clients, impact in the creative industry and my personal development.''
''My freedom to work how I want with who I want. The possibility to have more control and visibility over the revenue I produce and how to utilize that money for my business. Having the possibilities to decide when to have a break and be responsible for the success of my business by being proactive and creative.''
Independent event organiser specialised in diplomatic protocol and VIP management
''To know my why and live in line with it. To have life-work balance when it works for me, and not when the society says it should work. To have good systems that make my business roll even when I have a lot of work.''
Delphine Bosse
Freelance event planner
''It is very important to me to not get isolated. I pull my energy from the interactions I have with the many teams, suppliers, partners, peers and colleagues I collaborate with. I never feel myself alone although I very much appreciate the autonomy and independence provided by the freelancing profile itself.''
