How to be successful as a freelancer

Being a freelancer is an amazing feeling once you establish yourself a system. Being from Montreal, I live in a very competitive environment. It took me just under 75 days to fully develope my equation to financial stability. I can't give you the equation to your formula. Everyone is different. But I can definitly tell you how to develope your own formula.

The first step to any action, is the initiative to take action.

So, if you're still reading this, it's because you would like to be able to manage your own time and financials. Being a freelancer in Montreal is great for multiple reasons. The 3 biggest reasons in my opinion are the following :

• Your own time schedule.
• You report to YOU.
• The power to scale.

Even if you are making the same salary as your 9-5 job, atleast as a freelancer, you can manage the entire operation at your rate and satisfaction. You have the option to grow rapidly or if you rather, do it part time and grow it slower. You can be aggresive in marketing or you can be passive and blog. As a freelancer, it's you that decides.

The formula

Success is not 1 formula, but a selection of your own equations to success.

What is this man saying?!

If you are able to build your system on paper with equations you have accomplished 80% of the work to come. The other 20% is perfecting your equations based on experience. Work on perfecting the micro equations related to the final product of the following elements is a must:

• Time Management
• Client satisfaction
• RECURRING

I will go over each of those elements and tell you what I use to make my freelance business successful. Learning from other and applying to yourself is the best method to understanding what you need in your success formula. It's true that not all methods apply to everyone. But there is a lesson learned by everyone who tries to apply a method.
