There are some moments when you make decisions and that decisions result in benefits worth sharing with people. There must be some turning points in life that make you feel more about yourself, to find your desired path, to find the freedom you want to gain. I found my moment and decided to do Freelancing rather than going to a company and work for them.

Let me clear the air for you that it’s not a blank space where you have to find yourself standing still and alone. There are a variety of tools and resources out there for freelancers and they are increasing in numbers day by day.

One basic thing you have to understand while adopting freelancing is smart work, gross more, and happy earning. You have to quit the habit of doing everything manually all again for every new project you start. Things like proposals from scratch, managing your projects on papers, making to-do lists on paper and managing social media marketing manually is a waste of time and too old techniques.

If a project is organized and well understood before going into the process of development it lessens the efforts plus the extra time while going back to analyzing again and again.
