I have been freelancing for a while
And it's not what I expected to be
You have been sold the idea that freelancing is a sexy career.
You can work at a beach while sipping a pina colada and talking to a client from the USA.
But let me bring you to reality. Just like in any career, reaching that stage will take years of hard work and working for peanuts.
Freelancing is just like any other career and the only upside of it is you choose how much you want to work and where you want to work.
And to be honest most jobs today are also providing these benefits.
So, the next time you get tempted to leave your job and jump right into freelancing. Stop! And ask yourself
Are you actually seeing the reality for what it is or not?
Here’s a better way to do freelancing:
Keep your day job. But work on different side projects as a freelancer. And once you start generating more revenue than your day job.
You’re ready to quit.
And remember freelancing is not a sexy job. It got its own struggles and challenges just like other careers. Before choosing this, think twice.
