Cami’s turn to present our Business Book Club - In Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert explores the concept of creativity from a perspective that you might’ve not thought of before. She doesn’t put herself in a guru position, she doesn’t force practical advice on you - she simply showcases her own perception of creativity, the way she envisions it, and gives you new ways to look at it, on a more spiritual, if not sacred, level. 

One of the popular questions I've been asked at events and panels is what I think is one of the most important tools for someone looking to pivot their career, or start a new career, go freelance, etc. My answer might seem simple, but I think it's vital.

You must have a curated online presence.

Founder of Tandem Collective, Naomi Bacon, writes on her thoughts & reflections of the Tandem Collective 2023 Retreat to Roseto, Italy.

Hi, I’m Helena, a digital nomad working for Tandem Collective!  

I’ve been working remotely from different locations around the world since the beginning of 2022.  I’m very lucky to have a travel and co-working buddy, who happens to be my long-time bestie, and we’ve chosen to organise our trips independently.  However, not everyone has this option - travelling solo, as well as remote working, can be a daunting prospect, but thanks to a growing number of companies jumping on the digital nomad trend, it’s now very possible to become part of freelance communities around the world.  Read on for our round-up of some of the best-known companies offering curated experiences for remote workers!

‘Segmenters’ are most likely to compartmentalise their life and commit wholly to working, or to very specifically not working, whereas ‘Integrators’ will bask in the freedom of being able to merge their work with their day to day activities, chores, hobbies and habits. Which school of thought do you belong to?

Alongside all of the additional stress of Autumn & Winter as a freelancer (tax season looming, and being a freelancer in publishing no less) I’m experiencing grief for the first time as an adult, and as a freelancer. And it’s thrown me on a curve, for sure… 

With that in mind, we’re presenting the first article in a series. This is the first article in the Collective Thoughts series, presented (in Tandem) by The Freelance(r) Hub and The Tandem Collective. We’ve pooled our collective thoughts, anecdotes, and coping methods in the hopes that something here will resonate with you or, at the very least, provide support in knowing you are not alone.
