Advantages Of Being a Freelancer
In this article, I will focus more on the advantages of being a freelancer and the benefits of freelancing.
Here are some of the advantages why being a Freelancer is better.
You choose the environment you want to work in
So long as you got power, your computer, a hard drive, the plug you need and a good internet connection, you are good to go. On random days, you could decide to work in a coffee shop. At a friends place, if you may have an emergency at home, such as the power going out. Or enjoy working from home.
You are in control of your work hours
You can choose to work morning or night. So long as you put in the effort needed; in meeting all your deadlines. Lastly, you can identify the amount of work you can take and put in. Doing this can help you to become more focused and less distracted.
The opportunity of working on different projects
Which can help improve your skillset and give you the confidence you need when taking on a new project; and to think differently.
Clients hiring you for you
Clients hire you for the originality of the work. You know that you have a lot to bring to the table, and they see that too.
More name recognition
If you are good at what you do. Most companies will think of your name when the next job arises. It is less stressful for them to look for a new candidate. That can be to your advantage. When they need someone to fill in.
You can become an independent person
Without you realising, you become a great planner either in your personal life or work life. Pre-planing and scheduling become second nature to you because you know you got bills to pay. You can see how much work you can take on for yourself and how well you can deliver on that.
You need to decide which is more important to you. A stable salary or freelancing. If you are a person who wants to be secure at all times when it comes to having a salary, freelancing may not be for you. The is no guarantee for a stable paycheck; you are constantly searching for work if you do not have a fixed contract. You need to plan your life accordingly; only you can do that. The is no time to give up. Try and stay motivated always!
