Welcome to Season 7 of the Writers’ Co-op! To kick off the season, we wanted to dedicate our first episode to a word that often shapes how we view both work and ourselves: success. We usually believe success is measured by hitting societally-defined milestones or accumulating fame or wealth. But what happens when our personal goals differ from what others expect from us? And what constitutes success when our values and milestones are constantly changing? How can we ultimately come up with a new framework of success for ourselves? Wudan digs into these questions with guest host Joanne Machin. Joanne is a freelance editor, romance writer, virtual assistant and coach based out of the Pacific Northwest. You can follow her on Twitter here. Joanne talks more about different ways to redefine success in your life and gives advice on how to ensure you’re working toward your goals. Resources:  All-Access Patreon members will get a worksheet with journaling prompts so you’re able to redefine success for YOURSELF. Signing up via patreon.com/twcpod at the All-Access level gets you more of these great resources, early access to episodes, and an in to our inclusive and psychologically safe Slack Community Check out all our courses, worksheets, and webinars on our website If you’re just getting started with your freelance business, you’ll want to check out our freelance business courses at The Writers’ Co-op Academy on building your business plan and navigating and negotiating contracts: https://the-writers-co-op-academy.teachable.com/
