Necessity. It is the mother of invention. Need is usually followed by an action of some sort. It also brings about motivation and discomfort, are the three important factors in determining your success as a freelancer.
Fear often caused paralysis and is a major obstacle to your success. Unfortunately, discomfort often fear.This way, you will be doomed for failure if you're afraid? Not necessary because the inconvenience can also creating a sense of necessity.
There are usually two classes of freelancers: those who want to freelance, and start by taking a few side projects, while pressed on a full time job, and those who have been laid off, layoffs, quit their job or can't find a job, and his freelancing, not only because they want to but because they have no other choice if they want to survive. Which group do you think is faster to achieve success?
My goal is not to a rosy picture of the power of positive thinking. While I believe that ideas and practices merit, I am here to point to some facts that make sense for you and hopefully you can go with a successful freelance or consulting career.
If you start as a freelancer, you must have a strong motivation to succeed.Those of you with stable jobs: you have a strong motivation to succeed, but I would say that for most of you, which is not as strong as someone who has found the work and freelancing is to put food on the table. that is because you have in your life a level of comfort. You know that your next salary, regardless of whether you are a new project country in the next month or not. Necessary is the driving force behind the motivation of the group who is unemployed. Implement measures every day because it is necessary for them to do as they want to feed their families.
For you to succeed, you need to take action. Are you afraid of not, you may stop responding (hang) without realizing it. That comfort zone you can afraid and are inactive, but it also holding you back of your dreams into reality. I am not calling for you to quit your job. I ask you step outside of your comfort zone and take action.Take advantage of every bad day at work. If you want to stop and full-time freelance, there must be a reason. You may not completely satisfied with your current situation, or you would likely continue. So take advantage of every little us for the inconvenience that comes your way, and allow it to motivate you to act. Is your boss gives you a hard time?Leaves you feeling that it is absolutely imperative that you quit your job in less than a month, and every day action towards that goal.
Determine what you're afraid of that could hold you back, and take action by finding a solution.Afraid that no health insurance?There are a lot of companies out that and a host of other benefits to independent consultants, such as MBO partners. afraid of not being able to find it?Become a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, some networking events to attend. do a couple of pro bono jobs to build your portfolio, and get some testimonials from customers.
Challenge yourself to do a little thing every day is a bit out of your comfort zone and gets you closer to achieving your goals. every successful person to ask how they did it, and they'll tell you they stand up and every time they do not try again. the only difference between them and you is that they have taken action in the face of fear, and the face of failure.
