The 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Freelancing

via Skillshare

Overview

Are you thinking about taking the freelance route? This book is perfect for you!. You know, becoming a freelancer is a decision that will completely change your life and having proper information is critical, especially at the beginning. Still remember when I started I had no clue on what was I supposed to do, little less was I aware of the challenges I would be facing and as a consequence I made all sort of mistakes that pushed me to limit of thinking is this was the path I should follow. Luckily for me, I was able to overcome all those issues and became a successful freelancer. 

I don't want you to suffer as much as I did and that's the reason why I have created this course so that you are aware of the problems you'll most likely be facing and put action plans in place to prevent them or correct them. Also, this will give you a glimpse of what it takes to be a freelancer so that you can make an informed decision on whether this is the correct path for you or not. 

These are The 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Freelancing:

  1. You'll never feel you're ready enough.
  2. Clearly define the product or service you're going to sell.
  3. Know your finances.
  4. Freelancing is like running a small business.
  5. You'll have to deal directly with clients.
  6. Unusual worktimes.
  7. Freelancing requires investment.
  8. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
  9. You'll never get your money on time.
  10. Driven but not stubborn.

I sincerely hope this information is useful to you.

Cheers,

David
