You NEED these THREE things to succeed as an entrepreneur or freelancer in 2023
Whether you’re ready for it or not, 2023 is on. the. way. We’ve got less than 90 days in fact! If you’re a seasoned entrepreneur like myself, you’ve likely got a good flow and have these THREE things in spades. If you’re curious about starting your entrepreneur journey or maybe you’ve already begun — I hope you’ll find this article valuable.
Resilience
Working for yourself is a marathon, not a sprint! You have to be prepared for some pretty extreme highs and lows. That could be financial, emotional, physical — the gamut. This entrepreneurial / freelance journey isn’t for the faint of heart, even if it is HIGHLY worth it (in my opinion). Not only will you need to have the stomach for those highs and lows, you have to be able to stick with something longer than 90 days. You can’t just keep jumping all over the place and trying everything hoping something clicks. Prepare for things to take MUCH longer than you anticipate and for there to be more obstacles than you’d like. Most things will be successful if you just give them time and keep at them.
