Freelancing

From employee to entrepreneur

It’s hard to go from employee to entrepreneur or freelancer.

And one of the trickiest things, maybe even the trickiest thing is that you’d have to get used to doing a lot of stuff without getting paid.

The difference between a job and being a freelancer (or entrepreneur)

Like it or not but when you’re a freelancer or (an entrepreneur) you’re essentially the IT department, the design department, the marketing department, the sales department, the biz dev department and the CEO…

Three types of clients

There are three types of clients out there.

Not more.

Not less.

Just three.

Ok, I just made that up.

Work for free!

One of the best things I ever did in my whole entire life was that I started working for free.

I worked for free for myself.

I worked on many projects that didn’t work out and I made close to nothing.

Hope marketing

Is when you publish a book and don’t have an audience.

Is when you launch a product and have no demand.

Is when you offer a service and no one knows who you are.

The freelancer myth

Just because freelancer has the word “free” in it doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll be free.

As a matter of fact, most of the time being a freelancer or working on your own projects is the exact opposite.
