Advice to my 22-year-old self about to start a remote freelancing career. A thread. 👇
Some people will challenge your knowledge based on your age. Don’t work with them. 🛑
Stay on top of your business’s finances. Use bookkeeping software. Get a quality accountant. 💰
Exercise regularly. 3-4 times per week. You’ll look better, you’ll feel better and you’ll perform better. 🏋️‍♂️
Invest in your equipment. Your office should have everything you need to perform to the best of your abilities. 🖥️
Kill all distractions during work time. Give yourself every chance of being efficient. Learn to work fast. 🏃‍♂️
Enjoy the flexibility of working from home offers, but get into some form of routine. Make good habits. 🕒
It’s good to collaborate with people face to face sometimes. Travel for work now and then. ✈️
Make connections. Talk to people. Offer them value. Your network should always be nurtured. 🤝
Keep marketing. Just because you’re busy now, does not mean you will be next year. 📣
It’s easier to get paid what you’re worth when you don’t need the work. 💵
Find balance, but work hard. You can handle more than you think. 💪
Stay relevant. Don’t get too comfortable. There is always more to learn. 💡
