I absolutely love being a creative business owner. I feel grateful every day that my work allows me to have all the freedom I need & keeps me motivated to grow. I’ve been freelancing for over four years now & today I’d like to share some of the things I’ve learned so far from being my own boss.

1. Waking up early is a way to success.

2. You do need a schedule. All that freedom can make you go nuts.

3. Using the right tools can make your work so much easier.

4. You must make peace with your financial situation and learn to set money aside. Tax season, just as Christmas, happens every year.

5. Don’t let yourself down by the slow periods. They come & go.

6. You need to be brave enough & experiment in order to grow bigger.

7. Talking to someone about your business can bring up some of your best ideas.

8. Take a break once in a while. Working all the time doesn’t mean you’re being productive.

9. There’s no shame in putting yourself out there.

10. Dreaming big is a crucial part of any freelance business.
