Those of us that work FOR ourselves, BY ourselves know that it's a different way of following a career. I love the freedoms I have running my business on my own! Read on for a few ways to keep motivation and productivity high while on your own.
Find Your Tribe
Working alone doesn't have to mean BEING alone. You've probably got a professional network as part of your business persona- find other like-minded entrepreneurs and support each other!
Remember to Persevere
It can be so, so hard to weather lows without the external motivation you may have in a traditional office setting. Remember that setbacks are temporary. You've got this!
Always, Always Organized
Running a business alone can mean juggling a lot of moving parts. A few apps that help me stay on track: ClickUp, Stripe, Google Calendars, and Slack. I put everything I need to do in my calendar so that I never forget a thing.
Enjoy Your Freedom
A lot of responsibility comes with a lot of freedom as well! Choose your clients, your hours, your rates- that kind of power over your career is a luxury. Enjoy it!
