What It Takes To Win As A Freelancer | 105

Let’s start with a reality check: There’s no secret to success. No hidden formulas or shortcuts. Successful people often lay out their game plan in books, courses, coaching, or speaking on stage. It's all out there.

Many people say that can’t be true because if it were, everyone would be successful.

And that’s true… but only if everyone implements the strategies consistently for years.

Implementing that knowledge consistently and patiently is where the real challenge lies.

The Illusion of Quick Success

Why do some freelancers appear stalled while others seemingly snag high-paying clients effortlessly?

I’ll tell you: it’s about mastering and consistently applying the basics, not going after the non-existent secret hacks.

Remember, success is not handed over. It's earned with persistence, resilience, and regularity.

No Secret, Just the Basics

There’s no hidden formula that will skyrocket you to overnight success. Successful individuals share their journeys, strategies, and game plans.

The key is to learn from them and patiently apply these learnings to your own path.

Most of the legends you see got there because they outworked their competition. They first learned the right things to focus on. And then they relentlessly focused on those things.

That’s it.

Ask yourself:

1. Are you truly focusing on the right things?
2. Are you willing to show up every day for a year and not see results?

You Can't See the Whole Picture

Comparing your chapter one to someone else's chapter twenty is a trap.

You don’t see the relentless effort, the countless rejections, and the unyielding persistence behind the success stories. The glamorized portrayals on social media rarely spotlight the tough grind and the myriad of failures conquered along the journey to the top.

Remember, every email sent, every call made, and every proposal sent gets you one step closer to mastery and success in getting clients.

You must be ready to face the slow, monotonous, but crucial work. Send those emails. Make those calls. Present those proposals. The ones you see reaping the rewards today are those who kept showing up, no matter the circumstance, and you should, too.

Unveiling the Core Actions

Now, there are three core actions essential for building your freelance business:

1. Improve Your Offer: Enhance what you sell, making it irresistibly appealing. Ensure your portfolio, website, and service packages clearly articulate the value and quality you bring.
2. Increase Visibility: Consistently make your offer visible to a larger audience. Harness the power of social media, advertising, and outreach. Remember, persistence is the key.
3. Convert Interest to Sales: Sharpen your sales skills to convert inquiries into lucrative projects. Keep learning and evolving to better understand your clients and deliver precisely what they need.
