This one little fact is the main reason my freelance career survived to be what it is today.
“It takes around 18 months to 2 years to get your career going.”
When I first heard that stat, I was in that confusing freelance stage where one day you feel like you’re winning at everything and the next you feel like you better run back to employment so your finances don’t fall apart.
That statistic saved me…from unrealistic expectation, self judgement, and quitting before I got through the dip.
That’s why I wanted to share it, and a few more with you in this post on freelance expectations.
You can scan through the numbers really quickly but if you’ve got some time, sit down and read through each section. You might be surprised at what you find.
