so I can continue to bring content just like this to you every single week let's get right into
it.
So the first habit of any successful freelancer or entrepreneur is consistency. Now I know the term
consistency is thrown around a lot. It might even sound a little cliche to some of you,
but I'm really begging you to look deeper at consistency and what it really means,
because every successful person out there everyone who's ever started a business from zero,
sold it for multiple millions of dollars, or anyone who's kind of gotten famous what seemed
like overnight for something they did in the business world. A lot of times it's so easy to
kind of compare ourselves to them and to think that they just got lucky and that we are unlucky
but that's really not the way it is because a lot of times if not most of the times
you don't know the full story behind what got that person to where they are. How many failed
businesses they tried before that how many years they had to put in how much consistency. They had
to exercise throughout their daily monthly yearly lives and all the sacrifices they had to make
to get to where they actually are now where you know their name, you know their story. So when
you're on your journey to be an entrepreneur, if you're already in business for yourself,
if you're already freelancing, you can still apply this topic, and let's say you just want to be an
entrepreneur, once again you need consistency and this is with everything you do because without
consistency if you only show up on the days that it's easy to show up and you feel good,
you are not separating yourself from the competition at all. You are just
like everyone else doing the minimum amount necessary to get by, but when you go to that
next level that level where high performers are. Where successful entrepreneurs are born
that consistency that grind that hustle where you're waking up, you're working on your passion,
you're still keeping your life balanced as much as you can but you are making the sacrifices so you
can be consistent every single day. That's what it takes to be successful and that is the first habit
of any successful freelancer, and this second habit of any successful freelancer or entrepreneur
is over-delivering. Now, over-delivering basically means that you are providing more than your
original promise or your original offer and what this does is it really sets you apart. Once again
from the competition because you're not just doing what you promised you're going that next step,
you're staying in contact more often, you're delivering better results. Whatever it means
with your specific situation whether you're freelancing or you started your own business in
another area look at where you can over-deliver because that's going to do a lot of different
things that will help you have more success. Number one that is going to help you retain
clients and have them come back to you over and over again because they're going to know that you
are someone that is legit and that you are always going to do more than you promised and what that
does is it makes the client feel like they are appreciated that when they're spending money
and they're paying you that they're really getting something out of it and that is a
very beneficial thing to have is a repeat client that is paying you every single month
and another thing that's going to allow you to do. So the second thing is when you are
over-delivering that opens up the whole world of different referrals, different connections
because if one client has a great experience with you and you help them out so much
they're going to tell their friends. They're going to tell their colleagues, their family,
and the same thing happens again it's like a whole branch effect you know their colleagues then maybe
will hire you, will give you a shot, work with your business it just keeps spreading. So when
you begin to over-deliver and you're consistent you're gonna start to see how these habits really
start to play with each other to really turn you into the most successful version of yourself
that you can be. Now on to the third and final habit that can make you a successful freelancer
or entrepreneur and that is really finding your passion and just diving into it and this is the
beautiful thing about entrepreneurship about freelancing you're never stuck in a little box.
You're never stuck in the box that society puts you in or that the corporate world puts you in
because it gives you the ability to be agile to have flexibility to work on different projects
and you need to use that to your advantage. So work on different types of projects, different
types of skills. See what you are passionate about and then lean heavily into that and that's the
beautiful thing once again because you're not tied down to just one thing and a lot of times when
people are starting their journey they really just go all-in on one thing and I would kind of advise
you to be hesitant. So instead of saying "hey I'm going all-in on being this or doing this"
start to experiment test different things out. So let's say you're just for example you want to be a
website designer instead of just you know quitting your nine to five and just saying I'm going to do
website design, start to dabble in website design, start to look at graphic design, start to look at
copywriting. Start to get different types of clients, different projects, under your belt,
and then you'll know hey this is a great path for me I was right, or oh I actually want to look a
little bit more into this area or this area. So that can really help you when you are continuing
to find what you are passionate about because going back to the first two habits
that is what is going to help you be consistent. When you're passionate and it's going to be
helpful for when you want to over-deliver which is what everyone should be doing when you want
to be successful because how can you over-deliver well? you need to like what you're doing. You need
to be passionate about it because you can only fake it for so long anyone will see through the
BS after a while but If you're really passionate about what you do you're over-delivering you're
consistent I guarantee you no matter what you're doing in freelancing or entrepreneurship that will
help you out. So I hope this video was helpful if you liked it please share it with a friend,
