Here are some pictures from our freelance meetup at the Impact Hub Madrid Alameda — a fantastic coworking place in the Barrio de las Letras, the cultural heart of the Spanish capital and former home to Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and other writers.
As part of the meetup, we held a long and engaging deep-dive debate about freelance pricing, business negotiations, and numerous other topics including maintaining solid work/life balance and mental health.
Overall, freelancers originating from 10 countries attended the meetup: Estonia, UK, Germany, USA, Panama, Mexico, India, Ukraine, Czechia, and Spain. That’s how diverse a freelance meetup in a cosmopolitan city like Madrid can be.
Many thanks to Jaime Calatayud and all his colleagues at Impact Hub Madrid, which co-organized the event with us.
Next month, we will hold a similar freelance meetup in Dresden.

U.S. writer and business coach Sarah Duran is launching a new free 90-minute virtual workshop named Built to Scale to help freelancers identify the most critical aspects of their business to scale, maintain, or eliminate. As Duran suggests, by focusing on strategic growth rather than just tactical fixes, you, as a freelancer, can achieve a more sustainable and profitable business model. You can register for free. There are two June dates available.
"The freelancers who keep doing what they’ve always done end up being employees in their businesses. The ones who think like a boss and adopt a sustainable scaling strategy reap the long-term rewards of more time, money, and freedom."
