You rock this is awesome really. In this lesson I want to talk about only the freelancer mindset. The key I think, is being open having an open mind. This will allow you to create the life goals you want, make you flexible enough to accept the changes and accept all the task you have to complete to achieve your goal. So the first rule, I think, in the start is allowing yourself to do mistakes. It sounds easy, it sounds simple, but it is not.
Because many times even now I'm like after the years of freelancing. I'm still beating myself up on stupid mistakes. But to be honest, it's easier to let them go. How they say in the beginning of freelancing, you have to allow yourself to do some mistakes. back some punches if you want or learn your lessons, I will tell you about a lot of pitfalls in freelancing and about possible mistakes you can do. So you can avoid it.
But you should do your own mistakes to learn and build your own freelancing experience. It will all pay out in the long run, and this will help you grow. So my tip about starting up and achieving this freelance mindset or starting to achieve the freelance mindset is simple. Give yourself a startup period. When you are learning to be a freelancer. Decide this period let's say the first five months I will be open minded and let myself do mistakes and be a learning Freelancer or the first six months or the first year even I don't More than a year, because after a year you had so many experiences that you are not a newbie anymore.
You are a full blown Freelancer after you survive a full year, I think. So, in the first startup there you go easy on yourself and focus on learning. Do your job the best you can and focus on learning all the skills you need to build up an efficient professional freelance carrier in the coming lessons, in this chapter, I will talk about everything you need to starting up, but having the proper mindset is the first step.
