Lesson 1 Summary

Successful freelancers are self-motivated, reliable, adaptable, and comfortable with a degree of uncertainty.

They care genuinely about their clients’ success and they’ve thought honestly about the practicalities of working from home.

Going in with clear expectations — about the challenges as well as the opportunities — is what separates the freelancers who thrive from the ones who give up after three months.

Your action items before Module 2:

• Revisit the honest questions in Lesson 1.4 and sit with your answers
• Think about your home working setup — where will you work, and what do you need to make it functional?
• Write down in your own words why you want to do this — your reason will become your motivation on the days when things feel hard
