Freelance
Personally, I pride myself on my personality, I am the kind of person that can talk to a chair. I am such a chummy, outgoing and laughable person that I feel this aspect of my personality helps, but there comes a point where you might be the most welcoming person but that isn't enough in this industry.
Freelancing is such a scary word, there no real direction on how you go about setting up as a sole trader. Hypothetically, you find your Unique selling point (USP) the talent in which you want to make your career, then you begin to think, ok what next? Treading the waters can be a rather daunting and such a treacherous adventure - but it might be one to try. Freelancing has appealed to me because I'd have the ability to to be my own boss. There are obvious perks to be ones own boss, such as being a hermit, setting own hours but more importantly having the time and ability to explore your talents. I am hoping over the next year I hope to become a sole trader on my name, and my brand will be Katie Victoria Saunders and I hope that I will be a freelance editor, but its getting my firs big break, my first customer and establishing a custom. So what happens next, I guess I find an accountant, I create a business bank account and I continue to work my ass off!
Don't be afraid of the unknown because I guess thats my big adventure.
Freelancing
Freelance, it's such a scary word. I've always wanted to be a freelancer, be my own boss and become successful, but for me the word is so daunting. Freelancing, in this industry is so competitive, the industry is already dog eat dog, you try to find a way to be unique but I personally find that it's us trying to be unique makes you apart of the crowd. Trying to find your unique selling point becomes hard because its a competitive industry and no matter how hard you try, the manor in which you present yourself theres always going to be 3/4 others in the same boat.
