Focus On Your Assets First
The biggest pitfall freelancers face
Freelancers are necessary elements of today’s marketplace. Without them, we would not be able to keep up with the digital economy as we know it.
They provide services like:
- Video editing
- Content writing
- Social media marketing
- Ghostwriting
- Software engineering
- Graphic design
- Virtual assisting
- …and so much more.
Sites like Fiverr, Upwork, and LinkedIn have been a godsend to those who want to be free of the typical nine-to-five and work on their own and those without large corporate accounts who need to hire such people.
But are we doing a disservice to our freelancers? Or, to put it better, are freelancers harming themselves?
The lesson four years of freelancing taught me
I quit my job at Starbucks in the summer of 2017 to start freelancing. I had always wanted to be a writer and thought that selling my words to businesses was just as good as writing my own novels. While it’s true that it was rewarding in a certain light, I now wish I had focused on fiction.
