Owning a #freelance business is very challenging. If you have a restless entrepreneurial spirit, it's even more challenging and fascinating.Earlier this year, some people hinted that freelance workers are kind of IDLE human beings who casually work in thetr pajamas (work? Well, every now and then...). Let's set things straight with kindness and facts😇 Hi, my name is Delfina and I am a freelance solopreneur😃 That doesn't mean... ❌I work part-time. ❌I'm willing to work for peanuts. ❌I'm going to work weekends, holidays and on vacation. ❌You can call me after regular business hours. ❌You can tell me how much I should charge for my services. ❌You can regard me as an alien old hippie with some twisted ideas about what the future of work looks like. It means… ✅I’m a #business owner, so we are equal😉 ✅I choose what projects I work on and the people I work with ✅I set my own rates based on multiple fair factors ✅I choose to work weekends sometimes (nobody forces me to) ✅I'm not idly expecting for clients, they come to me and I seek them actively so they will come to me; it’s a never-ending, yet very fulfilling virtuous circle once you choose to go this way ✅I am my own boss, HR Manager, #Marketing and Branding Director, Content Creator Strategist and, in my case, I also like to bill my clients myself ✅Last year I created the “Free Freelancer Me-Time Day” initiative, to help my brain understand that it's OK to not be working all the time and take a day off in the middle of the week to recharge my batteries and keep doing awesome work. The FREE in freelancer is also about setting boundaries with your hard-working self, before attempting to do so with your clients, as I've come to learn throughout the years. ✅I learnt time management, healthy teamwork skills and autonomy from an early age ✅I can create the best workspace for #productivity and creativity to bring the best results to the table ✅I started small, but I think big. Like Steve Jobs did😍 ✅I’m not afraid of tight deadlines and I know when to say no to impossible ones If you're an independent worker, what does it mean to you? If you're an independent worker, what does it mean to you?Delfina |
