Finances for Entrepreneurs and Freelancers

Robert has been a translator since childhood. He has not, however, ever received a degree in translation. These days, his clients include banks, corporations, non-profits, consulates, as well as private individuals.

He started translating for extra money while in high school, and continued to do so throughout college and grad school. It then took him two jobs to realize that, since translation was always the go-to for pocket money, it probably made sense to make a career out of it.

He now earns a living from Freelance Translation, and has recently set up a boutique Translation Agency called Lugano Translations, run entirely with Freelancers.

Thanks to Freelance Translation, Robert and his wife have been able to work remotely from all over the world, from Shanghai to Tuscany to Washington D.C. They currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their one-year-old daughter.

His expertise is in Freelancing, from both the perspective of the "hirer" as well as the "hiree". Robert also has a passion for languages, both for work and just for pleasure.

Hello and welcome to my profile page.

I'm Rebecca G Brizi, a business consultant, avid reader, and dedicated drinker of coffee.

Mainly: I'm a strong believer in how systems and plans make you better at your job. Because when you don't have to worry about "what comes next", you can use all your energy for growing your business.

My courses are all premised on this theory. This is material I use to consult with my clients and to run my own business. You will find courses for freelancers and courses for small businesses, and courses that apply to both.

A bit about my background: I spent eleven years working in a software company, joining at the initial startup phase and moving the company through a product change, to establishing a new market and subsidiary company in the United States. The latter was generating more than 45% of business growth (by volume and value) within 3 years.

Most importantly: I learned the impact of good strategy. In other words, the importance of ensuring all our business goals, plans, people, and resources were properly aligned and working towards the same goal.

Since March 2017 I work freelance providing consulting, training, and plan creations for small and medium sized businesses who are establishing their market or pursuing new growth strategies.

I hope you enjoy my courses, I hope you learn great new ideas for your business, and I encourage you to send me your questions, success stories, and comments.
