“Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” — Unknown
Letting go is beautiful. It’s about saying, “I have moved on to something that works better for me.”
When you work for yourself, you don’t have to bend over backwards to keep every client. Whatever the reason. A personality conflict. Using work tools that you’ve already mastered. Something is no longer an experience. It’s okay. You don’t have to burn bridges, but saying, “It’s time to move on” is not a bad thing. It means you are growing.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com
I’m available for ghost writing and memoir writing, editing, blogging, and proofreading. (NOTE: No agencies, I prefer to work with clients one-on-one.)
I’m also available for public speaking, as well as working events tables at trade shows such as Chiller and Comic Con. And my favorite, Over 50 Modeling!
Rates are reasonable, and the first hour phone (or in-person) consultation is free to potential new clients. Every client who uses Pear Tree services will be featured in the newsletter (unless for whatever reason they don’t want to be in the newsletter, as privacy is respected).
WRITING/BOOKS/JOURNALISM
Publications I’m currently writing for: Dental Products Shopper, Trenton Journal, and Grey Journal.
I’m also toying with the idea of another book. I have a few in the works.
