I honestly enjoyed the information shared my only wish is that I would have been able to consult this about 10 years back when I first started working in translation because I do believe it would have been to my benefit.

Apart from totally agreeing with everything in the video, I would like to throw another log on the fire with one of my favorite sayings: “When in doubt, DON’T”, and this especifically means, do not accept a job if you doubt you would deliver an optimal final product.

Very interesting video. I particularly liked how to avoid mistake Nr.5, by folowing -what I would call “the 25 x 25 marketing rule”- creating a list of the top 25 companies in your city and making sure to meet with each for 25 minutes to offer translation services personally so as to start and build long-term relationships in the community.
Thanks for the practical suggestions!
