#352: These 13 Counterintuitive Truths About Freelancing Will Change How You Work

Most freelancers think success comes from being great at their craft. It doesn’t. I’ve seen average freelancers with solid marketing dominate their industry while insanely talented ones struggle to get clients. Being the best doesn’t matter if no one knows you exist. I’ve also watched freelancers waste hours crafting detailed proposals, only to get ghosted. Proposals don’t close deals - real conversations do. If you’re hiding behind a PDF, you’re losing before you even start. That “stable” 9-to-5 job you think is safer than freelancing? That’s one paycheck, one boss, one decision away from being gone. A well-run freelance business with multiple income sources is actually more secure than a day job - if you do it right. Most freelancers are playing the game all wrong. That’s why I put together this episode, breaking down the 13 counterintuitive truths about freelancing will change how you work. For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/352
