When I was an employee, I dreamed of freedom. \ud83c\udf0d

\ud83d\udccc Working from anywhere
\ud83d\udccc Choosing my projects
\ud83d\udccc Setting my own rates

But no one told me it would come with:
\u274c Financial instability in the beginning
\u274c The pressure of constantly finding new clients
\u274c The impostor syndrome hitting hard \ud83d\ude05
\ud83d\udccc What I learned? Freedom is something you build.

Today, after several years, I make a full-time living from freelancing, have regular clients, and a work rhythm that suits me.

If you want to be a freelancer, be ready to make sacrifices at first. But I promise you, it\u2019s worth it. \ud83d\udcaa
