Why Freelancing Isn't For Everyone: 6 Signs You Shouldn't Even Try
Freelancing as a way of employment is not suitable for everyone, and this is absolutely normal, because we are all different.
If you want to know what suits you better – “freelancing” or working in an office, get acquainted with the signs listed in the article: they simply scream that working as a freelancer will be uncomfortable for you.
1. You don’t love what you do – believe me, the client will be able to recognize when the task is done with love, and when the performer simply worked for the fee, and in the latter case, the result will definitely not please him.
2. You need work with a clear schedule – clients who contact you directly sometimes call and write even outside of working hours. Weekends and vacations? Be prepared to be bothered even during these periods.
3. You don’t like uncertainty – there are many ways to help stabilize your freelance income, but no one will give you a 100% guarantee of earnings.
4. You can't stand communication - success in freelancing largely depends on how well you can communicate and negotiate with people. These qualities will help you close deals with different clients.
5. You have trouble organizing yourself – freelancing means you don’t have a boss, and that’s definitely a plus. The bad news is that you now have to plan your time and make sure the work is completed on time, and not everyone can handle such tasks.
6. You don't intend to learn and develop - be prepared for the fact that your value as a freelancer will be determined by your knowledge, skills and experience, so you simply must continuously learn and master new things.
