Top 6 Habits of Successful Freelancers You Can Develope To Succeed

Freelancers tend to struggle a lot when it comes to time, tasks, and slot management.

We can spend too much time on tasks that don’t need our immediate attention and in the process end up forgetting about the ones that are close to deadlines.

Follow This Method:

• Note down the deadline for each project you are working on!
• Then note down all the tasks you need to do to mark the project or a milestone complete.
• Assign all these tasks a priority number from 1 to 10, depending on their importance.
• Every day, you can pick out 5 or 6 tasks from all your projects and work on them.

A productive day Is always a well-planned day!

It means that even though you have all your tasks sorted out but didn’t plan your whole day, it won’t make much difference. You’ll still end up short on time to do other things.

Remember, you are not only working for clients; you need time to work on your things, marketing, emails, portfolio, social media, client hunting, and the list goes on.

Feeling stressed!!! You should, I lived the same lifestyle as a freelancer for the first two years.

The only way out was to plan your whole day and get used to doing that every day!

Getting paid less! Not being able to assign the correct price tag! Questioning your worth and values! Doubting your skills!

It has happened to every freelancer at a certain point in their freelancing career. There’s no escape, it’s part of the learning curve!

No one can assign you’re worth other than yourself! They don’t know how hard you have worked to master your skills, to deliver value. They don’t know your story.

So stop doubting yourself, questioning your worth! If you think you are providing value to clients, the client is generating profit because of your work, then charge accordingly.

You’ll have like millions of excuses to give yourself to justify your delays, unproductiveness.

You’d end up wasting days that you could have used to get ahead in the game.

It’s quite a common thing for most freelancers. After all, we all go through quite similar situations in the beginning days. The decisions you make in these beginning days are what going to shape your career as a six-figure, seven-figure freelancer.

How do you get out of this procrastination cycle? How can you accomplish more?

Find an accountability partner! It can be anyone who cares about you and will help you keep in check.

Skills, knowledge, experience are the three critical aspects behind the success of every six-figure freelancer.

How do you get knowledge? How do you upgrade and learn new skills? How do you gain more experience?

LEARN! Keep learning.

You can’t stop learning because the moment you will, you will lose your position, your success to someone who is right behind you, and still eager, excited to learn new things.

Freelancing is a rat race! We all are running, competing, and growing consistently. The moment we show signs of laziness is when we lose our spot.
