BLoG: Freelance State of Mind...Stay Hungry
As a Self employed Freelancer, you must always remain hungry. What do I mean by hungry? You must always stay on the hunt for new work opportunities and new business ventures. You must always want it! You must utilize all your desire and focus to stay relevant and vital to others. It is important to embrace and nuture relationships constantly. It is a must to stay in the thoughts of those you wish to do business with. You must maintain a good energy level to remain consistent in your efforts to keep business going. You and you alone must be prepared to Hustle and Grind your ass off!

As a Freelancer, you must keep your abilities and skills at a top performance level. You must always stay sharp. There is no rest for the weary. You must always stay ready and prepared to jump, so to speak. You must be ready to be your own super hero. Ready to leap tall buildings in a single bound for your clients and able to save the day when it is required of you to do so in both your business and personal life. After all, you are your own boss! Regardless of which skills are required of you, you must move effortlessly to provide the best service possible. The client has no idea of the vast experience you have, so it's vital to stay on point and provide only what's required of you. For all intense purposes you are a specialist in the area of difficulty/assistance that they need. Therefore, whatever the client needs is your priority. Those are the skills that you bring to the forefront, knowing full well your capable of so much more. You are part of an equation so must blend seamlessly in order for the clients obstacles or needs to be surpassed/achieved.

But the client, only needs what they need. So it's important to stay focused on the needs of the client. Perhaps in the future they may have a need for other skills/expertise that you possess, but for now you are here to satisfy the current business needs of this customer. So do that! And do it as if that's all you know. As it stands I have been a Freelancer for the better of 15 years. It's been a game changer for me in more ways than one. In that time, I have serviced many clients with a variety of my skills in various areas of expertise and have been a part of many, many dreams made real.

Long story short, I LooVe what I do. Helping others grow is what brings me the most joy. Assisting others to chase and grow their hopes and dreams is what matters most to me personally and as a business. I take my business very personally. This is simply how I think and how I work. As for me, business and personal life blend seamlessly. There is very little separation. There are times where I work tirelessly, constantly, but we continue to move through our days without complaint. I could even dare to say this is a way of life. We just continue day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. And in the blink of an eye, here we are going into our 16th year (our 61st season) of providing services, helping to fulfill dreams, assisting businesses to grow and flourish. That is something that we are proud of and it certainly keeps us hungry. Remember you must remain hungry in order to remain in business and working for yourself. It is a feast or famine scenario. How hungry are you?
