Freelancing offers a high degree of freedom. However, there are two tips.

If you become independent as a freelancer, you can work freely without worrying about time or place!
I think that's the basic image.
But, in reality, is it truly free?

To get straight to the conclusion, it's 'true'. It's truly free.

However, there are two tips. If you fail to master these two tips, you'll suddenly lose your freedom.
Rather than tips, they are essential skills you must possess.
This time, I will tell you about those two skills.

By the way, what kind of work do you imagine freelancers do?

There are many industries where you can apply your skills remotely, such as advertising (including website) designers and programmers.
Many people are also active as writers, like copywriters.

At first glance, it seems free, but for subcontracted technical professions, tips are necessary.
It is'High quality in a short time'The ability to create products and'Time management skills'It is.

Creating high-quality products in a short time is quite challenging.

Normally, it's something that only veterans who have gained considerable on-site experience can finally do.
However, at OPENSEED, we thoroughly teach you how to build with a sense of speed as much as possible.
After all, practice is certainly necessary, so effort is required.
In the first place, there's nothing in this world that can be acquired without effort or hard work.

To create high-quality products, if you spend an extremely long time, you won't be free.
Let's carefully consider how much profit will be generated for the time spent and act accordingly.
If the cost-effectiveness is poor, it's possible that it would be better to work a part-time job when converted to an hourly wage.

And most importantly, time management skills.

No matter how much you earn, if work is too busy and you lose time, there's no freedom.
Chasing responsibilities and tasks, even the time to move becomes precious.

If it excites you, that's fine. If creating is overwhelmingly your reason for living.
However, if you also consider being able to work freely regardless of time or place, it becomes difficult.

If you can adjust the workload to ensure you have enough personal time each month, you'll have a fair amount of freedom.

In the first place, it's difficult to provide decent service in an overly busy environment.
There are many people who are too busy and slow, and that defeats the purpose.

The freedom of a freelancer depends on their self-management skills and ability.

Because the author lacked these two points, they initially had no freedom at all.
Now that I've largely gotten the hang of it, I've gained a certain degree of freedom.

If you seek freedom as a freelancer, first try to work with the above two points in mind.

In any case, if you don't have leeway, you can't do good work.
Let's gain freedom by properly managing speed and time, while also providing good work.
If you neglect your work due to too much freedom, everything will be wasted.
