WORKING AS A FREELANCER
You may have heard a lot of things about freelancing which could be half-truths if you don't know where to look and what exactly to look for when it comes to actual successful freelancing stories together with the advantages or disadvantages that can be offered by freelancing. If so, you may have never seriously considered taking a freelancing career since you would need to make a list of the actual advantages and disadvantages that can be brought about by freelancing and at the same time gained by real freelancers before you take a freelancing career head-on.
In order to cut you out of your false ideas about freelancing, breaking bad news gently would be the most suitable approach to rid you out of your surrealistic inclinations towards freelancing. First, there are more unsuccessful freelancers out there than the ones that have become successful aside from the aspect of income. Freelancers that have found a smooth and broad path towards millions are oddities which can usually be counted with one hand - the real freelancers that amassed millions all worked doubly hard and transgressed a long road bridled with jagged stones and narrow trails just to gain freelancing success. Then, it requires discipline to succeed in the freelancing world since you would be the only one who could make yourself work and consistently provide quality services to your clients. Then, successful freelancers are usually distraction-proof since they can work for long hours at home while maintaining a focused approach on their freelancing work despite the distractions that are always present within the confines of their homes regardless if they have separate work quarters for themselves since there's always the bedroom, the fridge, the phone, and the living room full of entertainment facilities to spoil any individual. Finally, the consistency of their efforts should always be perfect since missing out on a single point would mean probable destruction of their freelancing careers because a dissatisfied client would usually mean gossip to ring throughout their client markets, and this would evidently mean less work which can then be equated to a huge reduction of income. This, in turn, would prove to be disastrous for the freelancer since it would bring about stress to keep the individual company since misery actually loves irresponsible freelancers.
But if your responsible enough to manage your time and tasks in an efficient and proper manner, you can benefit from the advantages that can be provided by freelancing. First, you gain the freedom to choose the particular jobs that you would enjoy working on, and thus never work a single day of your life. Then, you gain more time with your family and friends since properly managing your time and tasks would lead you with more free time in the process. With these two elements combined, you gain a convenient means of going about your daily freelancing activities while earning to your heart's content at all times. After all, you earn at your own pace when it comes to freelancing. Finally, you can push your family and friends to get involved in your freelancing work through means such as making them read your work in case you're a freelance writer, collecting suggestions from them if your a freelance graphic artists, and even sharing your ideas which they can actively participate in when it comes to your ideas of income-generating schemes relevant to your freelance profession.
