Sharing My Unsolicited Advice: Transitioning to Freelancing

I want to share some unsolicited advice on transitioning to freelancing.

Learning the pros and cons is essential so you can plan for a smooth shift.

Always be one step ahead—having a backup plan is crucial.

If freelancing doesn't pan out, having a will help you continue earning and support your daily expenses.

My husband and I were both employed for almost five years before we took the leap of faith to resign during the pandemic.

It turned out to be the perfect timing for us to transition fully into freelancing.

Here are some tips for you🥰

1. Find your Niche- Flexible on your current work in the corporate.

Finding a niche where you can offer services without juggling too much alongside your 9-to-5 job is key.

While it's true you can't serve two masters at once, you don't have to manage them simultaneously. Work one client at a time.

After my day job, I spent my evenings learning a niche, applying for gigs, and eventually landed my first client.

The rest is history……

2. Plan with Your Partner

We planned to resign during the pandemic and we have both decided that Daddy will be the first one to resign I will follow once we plan out everything.

The pandemic just expedited our plans. Before the pandemic, we already planned to resign by June 2020 to do family vlogging and continue our freelancing journey.

Having a and shared goals is essential. We understood and supported each other’s goals, knowing we were looking at the same destination.

3. Prepare Financially

Once you've landed your first client and have a good grasp on managing your time, it's time to plan for long-term goals.

Determine how much you need to sustain your family and cover all your bills, including SSS, PAG-IBIG, PHILHEALTH, and taxes. So, setting your monthly income goal is IMPORTANT.

4. Resign When Ready

Resign only when you're ready to take the risk and your existing client is stable enough to rely on.

Make sure your skills are competitive and can offer real solutions to clients.

I took the risk and resigned without savings but had one full-time client to replace my corporate salary.

Working part-time as a VA before the pandemic while in my corporate job helped me understand the freelancing industry better.

I hope this advice helps future aspiring freelancers.
Keep fighting! 💪

Just finished the Day 1/5 of my Tony Robbins Business Mastery and I'll share with you something that hits home for me.

Cause a lot of times when I lean on comfort, I tend to break the momentum of discipline which brings me back to scratch every freakin' time. Grabe na din ung katamaraaaaan talaga pag nagkakaedad. HAHAHA

I'll write this down and make sure to pin it on my vision board para tuwing magpepetiks ako, I will be reminded.

Kayo din, especially those who wants to give up cause your goals are out of sight and you think "MALABO NG MANGYARI."

Sabi ni Tony Robbins kanina, Just because you did 10 things to reach your goal doesn't mean you've tried EVERYTHING.

The only time you have tried everything is when you've reached the goal.

So laban lang ng laban, try and fail and try and fail and before you know it, its try, succeed, do, grow, and repeat na ang cycle mo.

Aun lang for now! Good night saken 🫶

pursue your dreams even if you're scared. pursue it even if it takes time. pursue it even if others doubt your capabilities. pursue it even when you're alone in your journey. pursue it no matter what and how it takes. do it scared.
