Got this from Nick:
“If the unemployment rate in the USA is 3.9%, why would you Not Want a regular job especially when it clearly a employees market better than in the Dot Com days.”
My response:
I want to homeschool my kids.
I don’t want to commute.
I want to be able to work the hours I want.
I don’t want to have a boss.
I don’t wanna deal with co-workers.
I wanna make what I want to make instead of begging my boss for a raise.
I don’t wanna work on projects I don’t want to or for people I can’t stand.
Need I go on?
It’s like I’ve said. I feel like it’s in your DNA or not. Me… I honestly think I’d go broke freelancing before I’d “sell my soul” and be some corporate “drone”. Okay, okay. Probably a bit extreme.
But, there’s 1000 reasons why I’d freelance over getting a regular job.
And, I know you just might feel the same way.
Question is… are you doing it?
And, if not… have you been lying to yourself about it?
Truth is… you can’t escape it.
It’ll just keep gnawing away at you.
Anyway, it’s your life.
Do what you want.
But, if you’re like me and want an assist getting going with freelancing OR growing it from a side gig into your full-time gig… check out my Freelancing on Upwork course over on SkillShare.
It goes beyond just Upwork.
And, will teach fundamental freelancing principles along the way.
That you can use whether you use Upwork or not.
And, you can get access to it for nothing.
Anyway, details on all that are here: https://skl.sh/2OIxQrO
Later,
