3 Essential Questions to Ask Yourself as a Freelancer



It is not easy to leave the corporate world and work for yourself. To make this transition successful, there are three essential questions to when are thinking about working for yourself: who are you, what do you do, and how would you do it.

Who are You?
Before heading into self-employment, know yourself. What environment do you thrive most? What time of the day are you most creative? What is your comfortable level of income? What you want your legacy to the world be?

What do You Offer?
Ask yourself what business will you create that is aligned with your creative identity? What kinds of people will you be dealing with? What is target population? What are the ways you meet the needs of your target market?

How would You Do it?
How do you make your desire happen? How do you let passion and profit work together? How will you create your product lines or service offerings? How will you get the world to know you are in business?

To provide clarity for the whole processing of leaving the corporate work and being your own boss, take time to think about the who, what and how of your new endeavor
