Your Dream Life as a Freelancer Is Not Possible If You Don’t Do These

The freelance lifestyle looks pretty fun and easy from the outside, doesn’t it? You wake up when you want, you work from wherever and whenever you please, you travel a lot or spend time on hobbies more than any of your friends, you have plenty of money to secure your financial future and satisfy every crazy idea or craving you have, a dream life really.

But what many starting freelancers or outsiders don’t know is that achieving and maintaining such a lifestyle takes good organization and hard work!

Here are five things you should do to truly live your dream life as you wish.

Don’t Get Stuck in Your Comfort Zone

Don't Get Stuck in Your Comfort Zone

Just the other week my boyfriend and I were having dinner at a local restaurant in Kamala Beach in Thailand, celebrating Christmas. We were looking back at what an awesome year we had in 2015 and how many more great things we have lined up for 2016. During the conversation though, it became clear that I have been refusing to leave my comfort zone since we left Spain.

Apparently, I really loved the way we set up our life in Santa Pola and actively sabotaged everything that would remotely change any details in it, including working on new business ideas or any planned books. (You know, developing a business or writing a book is too much work and I like being lazy, enjoying my life as it is 🙂

It’s time for New Year’s resolutions and goal setting, but I have blogged about setting smart goals and committing all your resources to hitting your targets, so I won’t repeat myself. Instead, I’ll talk briefly about comfort zones.

How Experimenting Can Boost Your Freelance Career

I know the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I am a huge fan of it. But recently, I am trying to spice it up a bit – not because I need more work (I don’t) but because I want to push my limits and do more for my clients and for myself as a client. The best way to do that is through experimenting. See why in the video.

When Is Finding a Mentor or Coach the Right Choice

In my experience as an employee and a freelancer of almost 15 years combined, I’ve encountered hundreds of people, from all walks of life, and yet, all of them had one thing in common.

Do you know what that was?

The need to have someone to guide them as they make their first steps.

That’s exactly the role of the mentor or coach, should you decide to find one.
