Get Excited about your Freelance Writing Career
Are you truly excited about your freelance writing career? Do you feel good about the direction you are headed? If you can answer yes to both of these questions you are in a good place. This is a topic I have touched on in the past, but it is one that is important to keep in mind at all times. If you are not excited about your career you are going to find it difficult to have fun and to also earn a decent living. Sounds a lot like working a 9 – 5 job, doesn’t it? Simply put, you don’t want to work a job, no matter what it is, if you are not excited about the future.
Of course, you need to know the difference between never being excited about your career and being in a rut. Even though I love my job there are days when I feel down and out and would rather take some time off. Does this mean that I am no longer excited about being a freelance writer? Definitely not. It simply means that I hit a minor snag that must be overcome.
If you need to “reignite†your career you can do so in a number of different ways. One way is to find new clients that offer different types of projects. If you are always working on web content projects, and they are becoming boring, maybe you can consider sales letters or feature articles. Anything that will break up the monotony of your day can help to add some excitement to your career.
Do you remember how bad it used to be when you worked a regular 9 – 5 job? Think back to those days and you are sure to realize just how exciting and beneficial it is to work as a freelance writer. If this does not get you excited, nothing will.
The more excited you are about your career the better chance you have of achieving success in more ways than one. I have found that the freelance writers who make the most money are those who truly enjoy what they are doing.
If you are in a rut do your best to reignite your career and find some new excitement.Â
