Entrepreneur Series: Working as Freelance

If you've been follow our Facebook page a few days ago I mentioned posting a series of information on how to start your own business in freelance work. Most of us are at different places of our careers, and if your like me, you waste no time broadening your knowledge in becoming an entrepreneur. So I hope that this and the upcoming posts for the Entrepreneur Series gives you the confidence and knowledge you may be seeking to start your own company.

Today on this subject it's short, but I want you to ask yourself the following question.

The reality is that anyone can try to answer that question but here's the problem, that question is very vague. What I really want you to do is ask yourself these few questions. 

Are you effective at communicating?

Can you sell your vision to a client?

Do you understand the world of business?

Do you have the experience?

If you can't really answer these questions at the moment, it's okay. I am going to explain the purpose and meaning of these questions.

1. Communication

Are you willing and able to convey and share information with your clients, partners, and so on. This is probably the most important question. I'll be honest, you will have a very hard time assisting your clients needs if you are not willing to communicate effectively.

2. Sell Your Vision
This all comes down to if you can market and promote yourself. Also, if you are able to articulate and express someone else’s vision.

3. Business

There is a lot more to business than the ability to design a product, create work, obtain clients, and get paid. It's more of are you willing to go through the needed process and learn about the legal side of running a business.

4. Experience

It takes a lot of discipline and organizational skills to have your own business. Consider if you have the proper design skills needed to complete a project for your client. You don't want to risk ruining your credibility due to the lack of skills needed to complete task you set yourself to do.

Now that you've read through the meaning of each question. I would love for you to join the conversation. Feel free to share this with your friends and write down your thoughts. Also don't forget to follow us on Facebook to stay up-to-date on the next Entrepreneur Series post what we are doing.
