Twelve steps full of great ideas to help freelance writers move forward:
1- Admit we have a problem. Only we can decide to change things.
2- We're great and we know it. Ignore the imposter syndrome.
3- Declare independence. Maintain a balance of power to ensure our job security.
4- Think like suppliers. Make good management and business development our top priorities. 
5- Command admiration. Never give our clients the upper hand.
6- No more freaking out. Keep our pride intact and we'll never say something we regret.
7- Don't expect to be understood. Treat out salaried colleagues like key insider sources. 
8- Executives are our best clients. Go straight to the top and deal with the boss!
9- Seek pleasure elsewhere. Leave our artistic ideals at home. 
10- Abandon the ideal of purity. Stay beyond suspicion with a self-imposed code of ethics.
11- Our names are brand names. Clearly communicate our positioning.
12- Make freelancing synonymous with quality. Let's build the future of freelancing.
