Freelancing seems to be between a rock and a hard place. While freelance workers are faced with the same challenges that any other business owners face: limited funds, escalating competition, and clients demanding outright lies. Still, there are some clear advantages that make freelancing worth your time and effort.
So you want to be a freelancer. Who doesn't? The idea of working from home, setting your own hours, and finding projects that are completely suited to your skillset and passion is incredibly appealing. But what's it really likes when you jump into the freelance world? Is it all it's cracked up to be?
The truth is: yes, but with a big asterisk. The freedom of freelancing is real, and so are the challenges. Freelance work can be extremely rewarding if you enjoy what you do and know how to thrive in a less structured environment. You'll have to balance your own time management and self-discipline with your desire for a fulfilling career. If you're up for the challenge, here's what you can expect when you decide to fly solo:
- Freedom: You have the freedom to choose which projects align with your interests and strengths. Whether you're seeking more challenging projects that match your skillset or something that might help expand your area of expertise, this is an incredible opportunity to learn new things while still getting paid for it.
- Autonomy: Choosing freelance work means choosing autonomy—from both clients and employers. You get to set your own schedule based on your needs and workload.
- Creativity: You control what work you do and how much of it there is, you can pursue specific projects that speak to your creativity and artistic vision, instead of doing boring but necessary tasks just to get by.
-Money: Freelancing can mean having a higher income because you're bringing in what you're worth—not having your employer determine your value for you. It is a great way to earn extra income without having to be tied down to an employer or a job that doesn't let you follow your passion. It's also a great way to work from home and be your own boss!
As a freelancer, it's important to always remember that your name is on the line. While this sounds frightening when described from the outside—you probably have no idea how much work you put into a project before its completion! But this is what gives you control over your own career and keeps you motivated. When you're no longer expected to scale back your ambition to fit paid projects into your limited time, you will then understand that working on something means "GO FOR IT".
