One of the things I've learned for almost 7 years of freelancing is being teachable. When one stops learning, it breeds complacency and ego. So this holiday season, I gave myself permission to learn new things and re-learn the basics.I also stretched myself this latter part of the year. I continued studying Mandarin and expanding my Chinese vocabulary.I realized that one has a unique selling proposition these days, especially when you're a bilingual or multilingual business writer or copywriter.Aside from my language class, I also spent my holiday completing my digital marketing courses and certifications, not just for "bettering myself as a service provider" but also to awaken the writer within.Learning new things prompts the writer to create and explore.Perhaps, it may work for you, too. Or maybe it's just for me.But I hope that we never stop learning things in every season.
