Is it time to go all in?

You will never feel completely ready to switch from your stable and often comfy full-time job to full-time entrepreneurship. Freelancing offers unparalleled flexibility, freedom and the opportunity to be your own boss, but it also comes with challenges, such as finding clients and managing your workload. So here are some practical tips to help you make a smooth transition to freelancing full-time.

 Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

👋 Start as a Side Hustle

The biggest piece of advice I could give anyone before quitting your full-time job is to start freelancing on the side. Doing this gives you the confidence that you know how to find and land clients which will help you sustain your business. Not only does it build your confidence but it helps you to have a good financial cushion which is crucial with fluctuating income, especially in the beginning. By building your biz on the side you start to build a solid client base and portfolio which can help you land clients making it easier to transition. Plus you get to hone those freelancing skills without the pressure of relying on it as your sole income source.

👩🏼‍🏫 Create a Plan

Having a solid plan can help you feel ready to make the switch. I created a solid plan including a financial one so I knew exactly what I needed to be making each month so I could reverse engineer how many packages, projects or retainer clients I needed. To give yourself peace of mind aim to save at least 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses. This buffer will provide you with financial stability during the initial phase of your freelancing career.

Don’t forget to celebrate your achievements! Freelancing is a journey filled with ups and downs, and acknowledging your successes, no matter how small will keep you motivated and focused. If you need a few extra tips, we have a full blog dedicated to making the switch. You’re killing it FF’s

Mombox

Recently my friend had her bub and I wanted to find something to gift her that would be useful and thoughtful. Mombox to the rescue! Their boxes are gorgeous and filled with items that every postpartum mumma will need. I love that they even have a thoughtfully curated C-section box and a build-a-box option so you can really tailor it to her needs!

Udemy

Udemy is a fab resource if you’re looking to upskill in your industry or learn brand-new skills. They have hundreds of online courses at a reasonable price. I love Udemy for learning new skills that will benefit my small biz, because let’s face it, often small biz owners can’t hire experts to do the jobs they need yet. So why not give it a go yourself?
