The Real Reason You Haven’t Launched Your Freelance Career
For some of you, this’ll feel like a slap in the face
“I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” — Edward “Duke” Ellington
This, for me, was a powerful quote.
It’s powerful for many reasons, but the main one has to do with you. Yeah…YOU. The wanna-be freelancer who is sick and tired of the J-O-B.
You…the one who has a gift to offer the world, but you’re too damn chicken to pull the trigger.
Newsflash…pretty much everyone has problems or will run into them.
The question you need to ask and answer for yourself is what the heck are you gonna do about them?
Are you gonna take it on the chin?
Roll with the pain and hope you’re better on the other side?
Maybe you’ll use that negative block as energy to push harder?
If you’re stuck doing something you aren’t fired up about and not doing what you know you’re destined to do, you need to have a heart-to-heart with a mirror and ask yourself this.
Why not?
