In this video, I’m talking about the pressure of feeling like you have to be successful by 25. I’m here to tell you that it’s ok to not be successful by 25 and that it’s all part of the tutorial of life. You’re just starting to become an adult and you’re learning and trying new things. It’s ok to fail and it’s ok to take your time. Your early 20s are a time to learn and grow and don’t be too hard on yourself. #20s #success #failure #tutorialoflife #pressure #entrepreneur #learning #growing
The hardest part of starting your freelance business is finding your first few clients. The number one way to start finding clients is to share your work online and start networking in Linkedin groups.
Your number one goal as a new freelancer should be to create relationships with potential clients, industry leaders, and agencies so you can work with them.
By building a network, you can start organically attracting clients to your freelance business. Focus on building relationships to attract clients to your new freelance business passively.

Take your time, learn the game, and watch your success grow over time.

Your unfair advantage is the one thing separating you from greatness. Let me explain
A Unfair Advantage is a skill, passion, or interest you have extensive knowledge in that the general population doesn’t have, that you can teach or make products/services around easily.
Finding your Unfair Advantage will help you create confidence, an area of expertise, and a skill you are known for.
Everyone has an Unfair Advantage the key to unlocking it is to focus on what you love, what you are knowledgeable about, and what you would do for free.
Combine any profession with a hobby and you have an unfair advantage that can be applied to teaching, creating products, or providing a one-of-a-kind service.
Find your unfair advantage by identifying your skill set, narrow your skillset down to skills that you truly love, research to find if there is a need for that skill in an industry you love, and then create a specialized offer around your skill and interest.
An example of this could be a graphic designer who loves to hike. Their unfair advantage would be design marketing and graphics for outdoor companies. Combine what you love to do with a skill you are an expert in to unlock your unfair advantage in business.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, and that is the reason you are not currently successful in your business.
Narrow down your services and offers to speak directly to the core clients you want to work with. Offer specialized services that solve their specific needs. This will help you elevate your services to potential clients and differentiate yourself from the competition.
When you market your services to everyone you are really marketing to no one.
Specialized entrepreneurs master their service and go after their ideal clients who have specific needs, and bigger budgets, which lead to better partnerships, and more money in their pockets.
If you do not have a defined service offer or an ideal client profile in your freelance business you will struggle to get clients and grow.
So do not be a jack of all trades, instead master one skill in one industry, and offer that as a specialized service to scale your online business competitively.

Discipline is doing what you hate doing, but doing it like you love it. That is what you have to do to become the best, and very few can master self-discipline.
Whether it is going to the gym, reworking your diet, or working harder to reach your goals the things you hate doing are the tasks you need to conquer to reach success.
Turn your weaknesses into your strengths, and focus on getting better by 1% every day instead of focusing on what your hate. Discomfort is a sign of growth, so wear it like a badge of honor as you work on your goals.

If you feel stuck in life, the number one thing you can do is find your purpose.
You can do that by learning a skill, joining a community, or helping others. By finding your purpose in life you can set goals to work towards, and as you work towards those goals you can document the process.
This is the one thing that helped me become unstuck when I felt like I was going nowhere in life. I combined my love of drawing and design into a business that helped others. I was able to do this by reverse engineering the success of others, and then applying the systems that they had to my own life.
Figure out what you love, and who you can help to determine your purpose in life.

Failure and Fear are your best friends as an entrepreneur.
Being uncomfortable is a sign of growth and development and will push you to go beyond where you are currently in your journey.
Your main goal should be to embrace failure, learn from it, adapt to the lessons it teaches you, and get excited when fear starts to creep in.
Every successful creator, business owner, and entrepreneur has a graveyard of failed business ideas, low-performing content, and bad videos. Showing a path of development, ideation, and growth.
If you are not uncomfortable, and failing every day you are not growing, learning, and expanding your skill set.
Learn to love failure, and become best friends with it, instead of freezing up and running the other way.
