Are you guilty of putting off important decisions and actions in your freelancing business?
Don't worry…we've all been there.
Whether it's taking the leap to go ALL IN on freelancing, expanding your service offerings, hiring an assistant, launching that digital product you've been dreaming of, etc. →
If you never start, you’ll never get there!
And honestly, you know deep down these decisions are costing you (in more ways than one)…
The problem:
You’re holding off on the big decisions and initiatives because you think you need to strategize more and right now you’re too busy to do that with client work.
This is prolonging your business's growth and success (and, most likely, your personal growth and success).
The benefit of solving it:
Your business grows in a substantial way and looks like the ones you admire on social media.
You unlock new opportunities for growth and set yourself on a path to achieving your freelancing goals in a timely manner.
Why what you’ve tried has failed:
You don’t feel “ready” so you put your ideas on the back burner while you focus on things that are making you money NOW.
That is always more important and is the perfect excuse to put off working on ideas that have the POTENTIAL to make you more money.
Here's how to solve it:
To be a successful freelancer, you have to learn a lot about yourself.
And understanding HOW you work best is crucial to your long term success.
It’s likely you know some of your tendencies already…
Some people need a hard deadline to work off of.
Others can’t start until they map out the expected steps and schedule the tasks on their calendar.
What makes you tick?
Learn what works for you, and exploit it.
If you don’t already have a system that helps you take control, and frankly, get shit done, test and experiment with different approaches until you find what works best for YOU.
No matter how you work best, there is one thing that’s universally true for all freelancers →
You should be splitting your working hours evenly between client work and business development.
So if you work 40 hours a week, you spend 20 of them on client work and 20 of them on developing new leads and services, bookkeeping, managing subcontractors, etc.
(And of course, executing on that idea you’ve been sitting on.)
So make a decision and just start.
It’s truly the hardest part.
Make the best decision you can, as quickly as you can, and adjust along the way.
Whatever idea it is that you have been sitting on, now is the time.
(consider this a sign 😉)
Best,
Jamie
