One of the biggest and most common mistake that most of the freelancers make is to jump right into the thick of things and start searching for and filling job applications. while filling the applications is not a bad thing, there are a few things that have to be in order before the freelancer gets to working.
even before you apply for that job and even before you decide which website you would like to work at/in, you have to define the space that you will be working at. this means that you have to get a room or a space in the house that you are living in and designate it your freelance workspace.this is actually one of the most important things that you can do to propel your success.
but why have a workspace?
this is a question that you may be asking by now and the answers is simple. first of all, if you are serious about working and earning by being a freelancer, then you have to give your contracts the seriousness that they deserve,this mans that you have to first of all be in the right mind frame to work. this will be aided largely by the space that you have curved put that you will be working in. if the space is small and untidy, i can bet you that you will not be in the best frame of mind top perform your best and thus you will not succeed.
the other thing that you have to keep in mind is that there will be jobs that will demand that you concentrate. if you have a space away from any disturbances then you will be able to do so. the space will also allow you to get jobs done with as little disruption as possible. this is something that you would like if you are working on high profile jobs.
by now you may be asking how you can choose the space and what you need at the workspace. watch out for the next post.
