Let me guess: you have a stable job and a good salary, but you have a voice inside that says, "You can do more than spend a five of your nine-night time."

You've heard about freelancing and how it can replace your current income (or even more). You think, "Wow, how good is that?" ”

So you take a step forward and use your spare time to start freelancing. You find a client and get paid for your first free temporary job. Feel very satisfied-and you want to do it again.

And then you think, "What happens if I do this full time?" ”

It's an exciting scene: A picture of a laptop working on a coffee table while sipping a cup of tea is more appealing than running around the office every day.

You start thinking about more reasons why freelancing may be right for you. No tough bosses, no long working hours, no dress code, no need to leave home. The most important thing is that you can do the work you like to do.

So, are you ready to jump and change? Here are some ways to help you verify this.

1. You have enough savings

Your savings account is good enough to keep you in your life for 6 months to a year in the unlikely event of a freelance career. This is important, even if your freelance career has started to take off.

In a freelancer's work life, it's normal to have an insatiable, hungry cycle. Sometimes you have to live too much, and there are times when you have little or no work to do.

Anyway, having an economic cushion is always a good thing.

2. Your channel already has several customers

When you leave your job, your income will stop. So, if you already have several clients paying for your free work, and you're sure you can rely on them, it will be a safe condition to start becoming a full-time freelancer.

If you have several clients at the beginning, it will certainly make your freelance career less stressful for the first few months.

3. You are very dissatisfied with your work

You can't leave your job just because you don't like it. But if you get to the point where you're "losing motivation, being inefficient, and finding that you're inconsistent with your company's goals," you'd better leave.

Ask yourself whether this feeling is related to the desire to start a full-time freelance career, and the answer is probably a resounding "yes".

4. The idea of freelancing gives you more excitement than fear.

If you are excited and positive about freelancing as a full-time career, it is estimated that you want to do it.

You know it's risky, but it's the thing you're willing to do.

To do what you like, make it clear that you know that you are serious: you have a dream come true hope, leaving your comfort zone into the uncertain waiting area is not a problem for you.

5. You have many years of experience in your field

As a new freelancer, you face intense competition from people who have been doing it for a long time. You may experience a difficult period from the outset in your quest for a client.

One way to stand out is to prove that you are an expert in your field (or market) before you start becoming a freelancer. This knowledge will make you unique and give you an edge, even if you do not have a complete set of free professional portfolios.

6. You know everything is tough

When you are attracted to the convenience of working from home, you have to realize that there are hardships and difficulties that accompany your work.

You know, being a freelancer means you have to run your own business. You have to have a plan to grow your business and maximize your income.

7. You have the support of family and friends

Freelancers need a lot of time, and family and friends respect and understand the nature of your work is critical to your success. Your personal life should not be scattered, but focused on how to achieve your goals.

Being a full-time freelancer isn't for everyone, and there's no need to rush to decide if it's right for you. Take some time to consider the pros and cons. Following your dream is great, a practical approach without any harm.

Most importantly, the thing you have to do must be your passion-you can imagine what you will do in your future career.
