Working on online business is a dream of most people today. The freedom that it brings catches the attention of the many. That’s why there are many comments found from the freelancing related Facebook group that beg to get work. This is not how to win the game.
In order to enjoy your online business and win a client, you must have to stay on your own track and don’t be pressured by those who are ahead of you. Here are 3 things that you must avoid doing while you are still new in freelancing or online business.
NEVER COMPARE
You joined into different freelancing groups on Facebook and read those successful freelancing stories. Stories about how easy they get their first client or customer. Some posted their dollar earnings while some posted about their long term and a kind client who gave them bonuses and free days with pay.
Don’t compare their progress to yours. Don’t compare yourself to them. You don’t know their whole story. They might be doing online business for 5 years. They might experience hundreds of rejection. Instead, ask their advice and continue working out to get a client.
DON’T RUSH
It is human nature to be hasty and result-oriented. That’s why waiting for the first client or getting the first online project takes so much effort that may lead to anxiety.
Don’t punish yourself by rushing into getting the result you want. After submitting a proposal, you already did your part. Your worries don’t make the clients hire you. Go on with your life – study, learn, and acquire new skills. Some online businesses require two or more skills or services.
DON’T BEG
Always know your value. Freelancing and Online Business is about offering value to help the clients solve their problems. You will be paid based on your performance. Do not beg anybody to hire you. You have what they need, offer it with the right value.
Remember these three no-no’s in online business to avoid pressure and discouragement. Take your online journey at your own pace and you will enjoy the process.
