For this article, I asked a few questions to two entrepreneurs and influencers that I really appreciate and who are sources of inspiration for me because they are so honest, sincere, authentic and transparent.
Julia Coudert, transparency above all
I have been following Julia's work since I started freelancing. I like her sincerity. She reveals her daily life as an entrepreneur without embellishing it. But above all, Julia was the first French freelancer to reveal her turnover ! A bold gesture that I wanted to come back to with her.

You are the first (in France at least) to have exposed your CA. Why did you decide to be transparent on this subject? What was the reaction of the people who follow you (and who don't follow you)?
When you work as a freelancer, money is part of your cambodia whatsapp mobile phone number list daily life: you make quotes, invoices, tracking tables, you rejoice or worry about the state of your bank account. Money is a tool that is fully part of your life : that's why I talk about it with so much transparency. In the same way that I can talk about my anxieties or my successes/prides.
I am aware that it is difficult to talk about money in such a transparent way in France. But I do these monthly reviews for two reasons: I need to take a step back, once a month, on my activity (and I assume that not sharing this step back is a shame). And above all, I would have loved to read this kind of content when I started . I know that it helps my community to understand the financial management of a company in concrete terms (Where do I invest? What are the hidden costs? What percentage of my turnover do I manage to keep in cash?).
I have never had any negative comments or remarks regarding this total transparency on my figures. On the contrary, it is rather encouragement to continue, or very very relevant questions on "why" I manage something in such and such a way. The exchanges that result from the publication of these blog articles are always very enriching !
