Job description

You don't have to leave your main job and give up your stability completely to go freelance. As a freelancer, you decide what schedule to work on and how many projects to take on, so that you have time on all fronts and don't burn out.

The ability to choose who you work with

In freelancing, your boss is the customer, and you choose which responsibilities you perform. If, in the office, you used to design one type of presentation for a company, you can expand your specialization in freelancing by creating logos or developing brand books. You can take on as much work as you want and filter clients, for example, if you don't like the tone of communication. You can also work in different time zones and countries, which is not always possible in an office environment.

You don't have to travel to an office. You cut down on public transport, personal car maintenance, and petrol costs, and you no longer have to spend time travelling. You will be relieved when you wake up in the morning and look out your window to see snow-covered roads, realizing that you don't need to go anywhere today. And even if you do, you can afford to change your mind and reschedule. During summer, when you want to escape a stuffy office, you can work comfortably from home or a shady park, as freelancers decide when and where they work and set appointments.

There's no need to adjust to corporate standards

Forget about the office dress code, rigid working hours, long meetings, and not always interesting corporate events that are optional but desirable to attend. At home, you choose what to wear, when to start work, and how much time to spend on it. Accountability is mainly to yourself and your clients.

You can organise your own working hours

You are able to plan your working day and decide which hours are best for work and which are better for personal and leisure activities. You might prefer working at night, taking a walk in the park on a sunny day, or taking mini breaks to browse the internet. Freelancing allows you to set your schedule, for example, working in the mornings and evenings instead of the traditional 9-5. You also have the flexibility to attend appointments like the dentist or doctor outside regular office hours.

Financial independence. You decide how much to charge for your work. If some orders require more time or resources, you can set higher prices. You also control the number of projects you take on, based on your workload and priorities.

More time for self-development

A flexible schedule allows you to dedicate more time to self-development and education. You can set aside an hour during the workday to watch a lecture or take an online course to improve your skills or learn something new.
