I am all about not giving up. And I understand if you want to go as far as you can and do everything you can to keep your business afloat. I understand it. But you should know when you should quit. Again, do a reality check. It is something we don't like to talk about.
But let's get over with this. following your dreams and working for your goals is amazing. But do a reality check how deep you are in. Are you in depth? Are you working day and night and not seeing and are you losing contact with society and your family? Are you in bad health?
Are you happy? Do you like what you do? Do you think your goal is coming closer or just going further and further away? Face it might be the freelancing is not for you. I understand it, it can be too much. Sometimes I also feel very dumb.
I know I won't quit because I see my goals and my values and I live up to them. And for the decade, I'm working on it very hard, and they live a good life. But if you are not happy as a freelancer, it's no shame. I say again, it's no shame, and no problem with quitting. All the wise man and all the coaches that are preaching that never quit, never give up to reach your goal. No, you have to know when to quit.
The longer you are a freelancer, the less likely it is that you want to go back to employees and then quitting. That's nice. I cannot imagine going back to a company and not working on my own as I please. But I also do reality checks. If I would be totally broke and just upset with my work. I would give it up and go back.
Okay, it's very I know it's a very sad lesson, but you have to face the truth sometimes. In the next lesson. I will talk about something more happy. Quite the opposite
