Why freelancing? I told you in the previous lesson, several factors about freelancing that you can set your own schedule, you can go on holiday and work when you will work with all the clients you would like to and work on the project you really, really desire and shape your creative life and your work life as you please. When I'm talking with people, I'm talking about freelancing. The biggest argument is that, yes, but I have a secure job. I was talking about this in the previous lesson that they get a regular paycheck and they are happy with that. It's good, it can be good.
But I have to tell you the job security's in illusion. Because you might have a nice contract but the company can go bankrupt. Anytime you get fired, your product or service is going out of line. So many things can happen and you lose your job. Like this. So job security is an illusion in my opinion.
And being a freelancer makes you flexible. You learn in a few months and a few years, that income is depending on you. And there is no regular paycheck. There is no big boss paying you. You have to work for the money you you get. And these irregularities making you so flexible and so ready.
That it's unbelievable. And this makes you able to create the life around your own value. What is your value? What do you want the most in your life? I tell you what is mine. Mine is freedom.
I realize it every time it's not just a word that paint on my T shirt. It's not just a word. It's my experience that my value is freedom. Yours can be happiness, yours can be family creativity. It realized it that my value is freedom when I was working for a company and I was working Day and night. And I still couldn't make what I could.
I felt I'm creative. I felt it's not enough what I do. And when I quit, I suddenly had the energy coming back to me and I could create and I could draw and it was amazing. And since that it was like 10 years ago and scenes that I work with clients and projects I really like, and this gives me freedom. I have the freedom to choose, I have the freedom to stop, I have the freedom to experiment and find new ways to create and find new clients to cooperate with. No one is telling me what to do with my time no one is telling me when to take a holiday.
It's very, very good. I want to support my family, and not by working away my life. I want to support my family and in the meantime, being free and be with them, be there for them. That's very important to me. Find your passion, find what you want to do and this is the point of freelancing. You got to be a professional because you do what you like.
I give you a task now, sit down and figure out why do you want to be a freelancer? Or if you are already Why did you want to be a freelancer? Write a little essay for yourself or think about it or just meditate on it, whatever. Take a walk and think about it. What is your value? What is what do you want to achieve as a freelancer set a goal?
I don't say set a goal like how many thousands of dollars you want to earn I say, set a goal for a happy, healthy, freelance life.
