Rule number one if you want to be a successful Freelancer never call yourself a freelancer. What do I mean by that? a freelancer is in the name of this course. It's what I've been talking about. Here's what I mean in popular culture. Most people are taught not to respect a freelancer.

That's somebody who's just sort of in between gigs somebody you don't pay much. If you want to hire someone to babysit, or cut your grass for 20 bucks and you want to cancel the last second, no problem. You just call him and tell him don't show up. Come back next month. That's the perception people have freelancers. Well, you know who else is a freelancer, a heart surgeon who charges $10,000 per surgery on a child's heart.

He's working gig to gig charges or she charges a lot More for the particular gig the freelance service. You know who else is a freelancer, wildly successful trial attorneys. I don't work for big corporations. Typically. They just hang out their shingle the way you're going to, but they charge a lot more. So you get to decide right now.

What sort of a freelancer Do you want to be? Is your role model going to be the heart surgeon who charges $10,000 a surgery or is your role model going to be the landscaper who charges 15 bucks to cut someone's grass? Again, I'm not trying to poopoo landscapers there are some landscapers who make millions of dollars a year because they create works of art, in people's backyards in front yard. They're not just cutting the grass. My advice never call yourself a freelancer. call yourself an expert.

Call yourself a consultant. call yourself a trainer. call yourself a public speaker call yourself the number one meditation expert in the world. come up with something that gives people a sense of what your value is to that people hear the word freelancer, they think free or virtually free. So please, it's okay to think of yourself as a freelancer and having a lean, hungry aggressive mentality. Don't tell anyone else you're a freelancer and don't let them call you that
