You said it, Becca. We can do a lot more than we think we can.

I have to say being a Mother has given me a HUGE list of transferable skills. Skills such as, Delegation, Flexibility, Organization, Project Planning, Mediation, and I’m sure the list goes on and on.

It’s great to always build on those skills and to acknowledge the ranging degree of our abilities. Sometimes, despite all we do, it’s easy to feel shelved into our various roles (such as ‘mother’) so it’s great to know we can do more than that.

For me having trained and worked as a journalist formerly, I find these skills very transferable to marketing and of course my blog. If you can’t write a proper pitch, proposal or blog post, it’s difficult to get the client or potential client to understand what you can do for them.

I also find my days as a waitress/hostess in a local restaurant moons ago gave me my first taste of client service and especially when I first started out, I used to think back to how I would handle certain situations (e.g cranky customers) so that I would not pull my hair out or tell them off and still get a decent tip.

WOW! Those are essential skills, all right, Kimberley. Bet you never thought you’d be glad you did that job.

I worked as a sales representative for my local newspaper's advertising department for eight years. I didn't like the job so much, but I walked away with a lot of knowledge that has been very useful for my freelance writing business: the ability to effectively make cold calls, manage multiple accounts/projects, use my customer service training to effectively comunicate with clients and deal with conflict resolution and the ability to sell my services has not gone to waste.
