You ever decide you wanted to join a gym, but talked yourself out of it because you felt like you needed to get in shape before you got in shape?

 

Yeah. A lot of people do that with freelancing too.

 

Myth #2: I need to do more before I start.

It kind of makes sense. You see all these people out here selling their work and getting paid and think you need to get to their level before you shoot your shot too. But that’s not how freelance careers are built. Putting off your start because you think you need to do more is a great way to guarantee you’ll never get started at all and will stay dependent on employers forever.

 

Freelancing is a long-term process. One where you’re always learning and improving. Nobody gets into this game fully formed and that includes you. So give yourself some space to grow and don’t wait to take that first step. It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the most important one.
