My First Time: 3 Lessons Learned
Do you remember your first time? (No, not what you are thinking. Much, much better than that. I’m talking about your first job as a freelance!)
I’ll never forget mine! It was the 19th April 2010.
That day I sent through my first batch of work to my client. I was elated and on cloud nine. I was enveloped in the most amazing feelings of freedom, independence, immense hope and fulfilment – all at the same time. I was filled with immense pride and self-worth.
Those feelings lasted more than 2 weeks as I completed the whole project. (See? It lasted more than 2 weeks. Not 2 minutes. It’s way better than that.)
As a freelance translation editor, this was my first work at home gig! I’m over the moon!
Although money hasn’t changed hands, I’ll forever be grateful for this job.
Lately, I’ve been thinking over the experience and reliving it to reflect on the important lessons from that first freelance job. And, also because I’ve had two more queries since then! And, here, are the 3 vital lessons learned from my first time.
