Some more lazy link love today – but don’t let that put you off, these little posts really do deserve another look (even if I say so myself):

  • Need to work on becoming more assertive? (Apparently a lot of freelance translators do.) Read Turn a “no”, into a “yes, but…” for some tips to get you started.
  • If completing your tax return has got you thinking about increasing your rates, read What are you worth? Don’t be a monkey for inspiration.
  • And while you’re at it, take a look at More on pricing and the Business Week article it links to to really get you going.
