#019<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Welcome to this week's edition of Freelance Fuel<\/a>,<\/u><\/i> where, as always, we share curated content that can hopefully inspire your business, or be the starting point to get started.<\/p>\n

Today we look at<\/b> 5 Japanese rules for a calmer life, how the founder of Morning Brew is building his "new" life around several smaller businesses (there's a lot of gold here), a minister who thinks we need to step up our work, the best tools for project management and 7 freelance mistakes you don't need to make.<\/p>\n

Let's get started.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf8f 5 Japanese rules for a calmer life<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\"Ichigo<\/a><\/span><\/div>

Ichigo Ichie: Treat everything you do as the last time you can do it instead of wishing it to be over.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A little Japanese philosophy always helps to slow down and put everyday life into perspective.<\/p>\n

Whether it's wabi-sabi, kaizen or shosin, there's something you can take with you to your business and home.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

\ud83c\udfac A successful newsletter and an existential crisis<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/lite-youtube><\/div><\/div>

I love hearing about how others have built their business, and especially the stories that move a little closer to reality.<\/p>\n

Steve Jobs had speed, but there is a limit to how much Apple inspiration you can draw from a one-man business. And in the end, so ranks\u00a0freedom<\/em>\u00a0infinitely higher than being able to stick your name on a new piece of tech.<\/p>\n

Alex Lieberman built the newsletter empire<\/strong>\u00a0Morning Brew up, which he was skilled and lucky enough to sell for a staggering $75m.<\/p>\n

The time after the sale shot him directly into an existential crisis (it\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0hard to become financially independent) that has now taken him to a place of focusing on a balanced life rather than building the next unicorn.<\/p>\n

An extraordinary amount of value has been packed into the 18 minutes and 20 seconds here<\/a>, and plenty of inspiration for where you can take your business.<\/p>\n

(If you want to see more of Alex, you can follow him\u00a0on LinkedIn here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div>

\ud83d\uddc3 \u201cA dangerous trend\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\"Kaare<\/a><\/span><\/div>

So for it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social Democratic Minister, Kaare Dybvad Bek, has clearly been working hard on his upcoming book,\u00a0The Land of Work<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kaare is concerned about the Danes' increasing desire to slow down, or to jump off the hamster wheel altogether.<\/p>\n

A bold move when recent studies indicate that\u00a03 out of 4 Danes suffer from stress<\/a>, and at the same time we are the people in the Nordic countries who\u00a0experience the greatest amount of work-related stress.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also in our latest survey, 61% of freelancers cite \u201cHigher degree of freedom and flexibility\u201d as the primary reason for being your own boss.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the land of work can accommodate a population that enjoys their careers, whether they work 20 or 80 hours a week, and at the same time does not submit stress reports in a row.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u2699\ufe0f 4 tools for project management<\/h4>\n<\/div>
