Alex Cattoni breaks down a three-step framework for freelancers and entrepreneurs: education in your field, real-world experience to build competence, and empathy to understand others. She argues that mastering these three creates a fast-track to growth.
Alex, I'm just getting started as a freelancer or entrepreneur. Where do I start? This is a question that I get all of the time. And I always say that you need three E's. So the first thing you need is education. If you are really looking to learn a new skill or change your career path, you need to learn the ropes. So go learn as much as you possibly can. If you are looking to learn about copywriting and marketing, obviously you're in the right place here. The second thing that you need is experience. So. So once you start building your skills and getting the education, it's time to put that into practice. You absolutely need experience. And the last thing you need is empathy, which I truly believe is our superpower as humans. And you need to be able to put yourself in the shoes of another to know how you can best support them. And by building those relationships through empathy, you're going to expand your network and get more and more connections, have more conversations, make more sales, and ultimately be a more successful entrepreneur.
