Getting started on the road to freelance success is not easy.
So many people are leaving the 9-5 life in favor of being their own boss.
And while this can be freeing, the rush to join the gig economy makes your ability to land that next freelance job quite challenging.
People get into freelancing for different reasons.
Some enjoy the flexibility of being able to work from anywhere while traveling.
Others like setting their own schedules and making more time to spend with their children.
And then there are those independent workers who see freelancing as a way to support themselves while pursuing a long-term passion project.
Freelancing always seems to come with its share of motivational highs and lows.
You finish a project and get paid – motivational high!
Freelancing always seems to come with its share of motivational highs and lows.

How often during your workday do you find yourself saying, “I hate my boss”?
If it’s a lot, you’re not alone.

Freelancing opens the door to traveling.
It gives you the freedom, the lifestyle and the money to travel on short local trips or years-long journeys around the world.
When you’re a freelancer who wants to see the world, you don’t have to use your savings to pay for your nomadic lifestyle; you can make money for your travels by working at digital nomad jobs as a freelancer while you’re traveling.
Current trends are showing a rise in the number of work-at-home-moms after decades of decline, 51% of whom care for children at least age 5 and younger.
Most of these moms multitask where they take care for the home, children, and spouse while working long hours. This results in limited productivity if not well managed.
The mindset we tote around daily is vital to how we live, perceive, and react and it helps with your daily habit as a freelancer.
Are you tired of working your 9-5 job?
Have an ungrateful boss who doesn’t seem to care about their employees?
Or even worse…
