Clinicians, academics, or researchers transitioning into freelance medical writing—whether it's CME-focused or not—often worry about whether it’s the right move to make and whether there will be enough work to support their goals.
In today’s episode, long-time freelance medical writer Jonathan Agnew PhD, MBA brings a sense of reassurance to these questions and emphasizes the potential for abundantly available work. In addition, he shares tools and techniques to facilitate the freelance process.
Notably, Jonathon’s mantra is “your mindset underpins your success.” He recommends that you avoid the perfectionist mindset many clinicians and academics are prone to and instead strive for excellence and quality.
These goals will give you permission to take risks and enjoy the benefits of autonomy.
And Jonathan recommends defining quality simply. he says the best metric of success as a freelancer is getting paid and learning to value yourself fairly is a vital business mindset.
