Hey Free Agents!  Whether you're a veteran or just getting your feet wet, whether you're in it for the long haul or are gigging out of necessity while you position yourself for your next full-time job, this course is designed for you if:

• You want to make some serious money in the rest of 2010 and beyond
• You want to maintain solid cash flow and keep from getting stiffed
• You want to turn your solo practice into a real business

That last point is the key.  Your one-person show is a real business, and in this two-hour course, Academy instructor Beth Temple will teach you how to make it as successful as it possibly can be.

Key Takeaways from this game-changing evening include:

• Overcoming the "Freelancer's Dilemma": striking a successful balance between the competing goals of getting the work, doing the work, and (last but not least) getting paid for the work
• Understanding the Art of Pricing: learning how to position your expertise to yield you a premium price, while simultaneously keeping your dance card full and enhancing your skills (and future marketability)
• Getting Great at Negotiating: as a freelancer you will need to negotiate constantly, but instead of fearing it, you can OWN IT!
