In The Art of Hustle: Why Freelancing Is the Ultimate Hustle, we explore how side hustles can help you get ahead in your career, and how to know when you're ready to make the leap from side gig to full-time freelancer. Join hosts Kathryn Minshew (founder & CEO, The Muse) and Jeff Rosenthal (co-founder, Summit) as they interview entrepreneurs who have built their careers from scratch and share lessons learned along the way.
A good side hustle can help you hone your craft, gain valuable experience and learn the ins and outs of your niche, while also making you more financially secure. It can also be a great way to build relationships in your industry and keep you from feeling like you're just another cog in the machine, which can be a huge benefit if you're thinking of transitioning into a full-time freelancer.
Freelancing offers a flexible schedule, which makes it easier to fit work around other commitments than an inflexible 9-5 job. It can be more rewarding than other income sources, such as a part-time retail position or even driving for a rideshare company, which can quickly feel monotonous and deflate your enthusiasm. It can be challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance, but by carefully choosing the clients you work with and managing your time effectively, you can ensure your freelance income is a significant source of revenue for your career.
In order to be successful as a freelancer, you need to treat it like any other business. That means identifying your goals, creating processes and systems for completing those tasks and staying organized. Then, you need to work hard at it. It's also important to find a community of people who support and encourage you. This can be done through a number of different ways, including joining online communities, attending conferences and workshops, and listening to podcasts.
Ultimately, the success of your freelance career will depend on your determination and willingness to be resourceful and resilient in the face of adversity. If you're willing to go above and beyond to deliver your best work, there's no reason why you shouldn't be rewarded with the career of your dreams.
