Writers, Stop Sabotaging Your Own Success
There’s a reason they call us “ freelancers.” We are, by definition, free to work however we want, whenever we want. And yet, for some reason, many of us choose to work in ways that sabotage our success.
We procrastinate, allow distractions to derail us, and often don’t value our time and expertise enough. In short, we are our own worst enemy when it comes to freelancing.
If you’re ready to stop being your own worst enemy and start seeing some real success as a freelancer, check out these three tips:
1. Make a schedule and stick to it
The first step to taking control of your freelance career is to make a schedule and stick to it. This means setting specific days and times for working, and then sticking to them as much as possible.
Yes, there will be days when you need to take a break or adjust your schedule, but having a set routine will help you stay focused and on track. It will also make it easier to say no to distractions and focus on your work.
2. Set boundaries with friends and family
One of the biggest challenges for freelancers is setting boundaries with friends and family. We often feel like we need to be available 24/7, but this is simply not sustainable.
