I always see posts saying: âYou donât need experience to be a freelancer.â
Yes⊠and no.
â
Yes, because everything can be learned if youâre willing to put in the time and effort.
â No, because you still need a foundationâbasic skills, discipline, and the mindset to actually handle the work.
A lot of people get attracted to the idea of freelancingâflexible schedule, work-from-home setup, earning in dollars. But hereâs the real talk: not everyone is built for this.
Youâll deal with night shifts (depending on the client).
Youâll be working remotely (which sounds greatâunless you donât like being alone).
And sometimes, itâs harder than a regular 9â5 because youâre fully responsible for yourself.
So yes, freelancing is possible. But itâs not magicâit takes learning, practice, and consistency.
