#53 STOP Being So Afraid of Freelancing: Here’s Why Freelancing is the Perfect Move Abroad Career
Now, let's bust some myths, shall we? Freelancing isn't just about working in your pajamas (although that's definitely a perk). It's about freedom—the freedom to choose where you work, when you work, and who you work with.
Hey, I get it. Stepping into the world of freelancing can be scary. The fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of where your next paycheck will come from—it's enough to make you run right back to that 9-5.
But here's the thing: freelancing can actually be MORE stable than a full-time job, AND you'll land clients and get money in the door faster than if you follow the traditional job application process.
Drawing from my own journey as a freelancer, I'll share why I traded in the traditional 9-to-5 grind for the freedom of freelancing, and give you some insider tips on how to ensure you set yourself up for success so you can get paid well and avoid the starving artist stereotype.
So whether you're considering freelancing as a side hustle or diving headfirst into full-time freelancing, tune in for some invaluable insights and tips to kickstart your freelancing journey. After all, the world is your oyster, and freelancing might just be the key to unlocking your dream life of freedom and flexibility.
