Do you have enough money to pay your bills for several months? Do you have all of the equipment, tools, and items you need to start freelancing? Do you know what contracts to look for? Do you have a client checklist? These are just a few things I realized I needed when I started freelancing. Not everyone needs these things, but they are nice to have. Be prepared, don’t scramble. If you find yourself behind, you will not continue to freelance because it’s not solid - take the steps to secure yourself and your future in freelancing.
