Keep pressing, keep trying, keep exploring, and Don't Give up

Successful freelancers require passion!  Many do what they do because they love it.  Success to a freelancer means that you are able to share your gift and passion with the world and get paid to do it.  It doesn't mean getting rich off people or charging an arm and a leg for services.  It means that you can combine your passion with the needs of others and work together to produce a desired result.  Many of us are freelancing "on the side" .Meaning that we might do it at odd hours and that's a really cool part about it!!  You can work it around almost any schedule.  When you have to stay up late into the night, working on an order, it doesn't bother you because you get paid for something that you love doing and it's always considered a blessing no matter what time of night or morning that you're working on it.  I believe that we all have something to offer to the world, that has a place in the marketplace.  It might take time to figure out how to offer it, but that's just part of the process.  It might take trial and error.  But that's part of the process too😀.  Before I found my niche as a freelancer, I tried some different offerings and I didn't get any responses in the marketplace but eventually I arrived at a service that I could offer, that was very successful and popular.  This service paved the way for me to start doing what I absolutely loved as a freelancer and that is writing and research.  If you have something to offer the world, continue to explore and pray about the possibilities and ask God to show you how He wants to use it.  God Bless.  You can click on the links below to explore my services.

Tips for success in Freelancing

"Not limiting yourself" is a journey in and of itself.  We naturally limit ourselves in so many different ways.  That's just being human.  But, there are times where a specific limiting behavior has been revealed to us and that is an opportunity to do something about it.  It's not easy, but it's possible.  The key is to not give up.  If you know of a specific behavior pattern that limits you, put boundaries in place that keeps it from interfering in the work that is most important to you.  It might not be something that is bad in an of itself, but it might act as a distraction if you engage in it at the wrong time.  The work that you are passionate about, is very important to the world around you.  One reason why we don't fight against distractions is because we don't believe in the importance of our work enough, to make certain changes.  I totally understand that.  I struggle with that as well. But lately I have been feeling a sense of responsibility to constantly reach out to the world around me through my gifts and talents.  I honestly believe that everybody has something powerful and important to offer to the world.  That means you too!!!!

I'm a freelancer. I have been a freelancer for over 1 year now.   It's been a great journey.  I wanted to share some tips on having a successful freelancing career. 
1.  Price low and over deliver.  You are competing with people all over the world in the freelancing market and some of your competitors live in places where the cost of living is alot lower than where you reside.  Many times you can't price your service as low as them, but you make up for that in the quality of service you provide and in over delivering.  If you can't be competitive in terms of rate, find an area where you can make up for it.

2.  Try to choose something that you enjoy doing.  When you are gifted and enjoy doing something it comes across to your customers.  Wouldn't you love to have someone working with youCh, who loves what they are doing for you? You will become a preferred service provider just because you will convey a different type energy than your competitors.  Trust me on this, I have had alot of competition in the areas I have focused on, and many of them were priced lower than me, but I stood out in how I packaged the delivery of my services.  It's not just about delivering results, it's how you package those results.  When you package them properly, your customers see the value in your service and keep coming back for more. 

3.  Find something that is in demand and a good match with your skill set.  I believe there is a place for everyone's special skill set.  I believe we were all created to offer something very special.  We just have to figure out how to do it.  I spend a few years praying and trying to figure out what I could do as a freelancer.  I looked at what was in demand and figured out what might be a good match for my skill set.  I launched out, offering my first freelancing gig over 1 year ago and the rest is history.  I have been doing it ever since.  You can find a list of the freelancing services, that I offer, below:

"A Dream" that won't quit. Learn from the best.

"Pursuing your dream".  I have heard this statement alot over the years.  But I have learned the most from Mr. "Walt Disney" himself when it comes to that statement.  Many of you do not know how many times Mr. Disney failed before attaining any major success as an animator, you do know that he was not a business man but just a brilliant animator with a vision.  Walt Disney was not a business person.  His passion was drawing and animation.  He was determined to spend his life doing just that.  He had a dream that would not quit.  There was a time where he had "no money" and he had been evicted from his own office, for his company; and had lost what seemed like everything.  But he always took whatever little, he was able to recover, and kept moving.  With every big loss, he always had a small piece of his business to carry forward.  Mr. Disney did not graduate high school, he left at 16 years old.  One of the things he said was that "You cannot pursue your dreams, without failing alot".
The thing I love about Walt Disney's story is that he was just like you and I.  His family didn't have much money and neither did he, but he had SOME dream, I'll tell you that!!!  He was not a smart business man, so he made alot of mistakes.  But that didn't stop him from learning what he needed to learn in order to do what he dreamed of doing.  He wasn't afraid of the unknown.  You don't know it all, none of us do. But there is something brilliant inside of you that can take you the distance.  Something that can carry you through all the failures, mistakes, bankruptcies, heartbreaks, losses, etc.
In order to pursue your dreams you have to put your heart in it, which means that you are going to experience heartache.  But if you look at what Walt Disney achieved, it's so worth it!!!! 

The Disney name has remained strong, his brand continues to be a brilliant quality and ever growing.  It's like the foundation he laid with his heartache and mistakes; and being willing to learn laid a foundation that would be carry the brilliance that he poured into it from generation to generation.  He was just like you and I.   We all have a degree of brilliance in some area, let it shine!!

The funny thing is, my dream is being able to help others to pursue their dreams.  I hold the hopes and dreams of others safely in my heart.  Well, those who are willing to share them with me.  I get my greatest joy out of the success of others.  That's what drive my freelancing services, a passion to see other succeed.  If you are in need of any of my services you will find them listed below.
