If you think that freelancers’ path of earning is the bed of roses, you are at mistake. Uncertainty of whether to get or not the project all the time stays steady to threaten you a lot. Although a freelancer has a freedom to choose and do the work of his/her preference at any time yet he/she misses the secure and fixed earning. Anyhow, trip or excursions or travelling or amusement is his/her slave that can be called for any time.

If you have, somehow, set your feet as professional freelancer, you can fly high by your career. It’s promotion to your career at which you have to focus your eyes. Learning is continuous process so as the promotion. But without enhancing skills and knowledge, how can you wing your career to heights? Your freelancing business will cripple at some point without upgrading. Before it is too late, extend your dimensions of skills and add cutting-edge sharpness to your career.

Presume your career’s ‘Next Stop’                    

Give concrete structure to your future motto rather than just continuing to dream. What all you need to do are to specify:

1)      What you actually want in your career?

2)      Where do you want to shift it?

3)      What key skills will you need to develop?

4)      What benefits will be driven out of them?

5)      What’s the deadline for its completion?

Now, you have a draft ready for deriving flesh out of nothing. Just imagining is not enough. Once you have fixed your future aspirations and their deadline, you have to call accountability in you for giving a final push to do it.

How to focus on your future aspirations?

Conceiving ideas is useless until and unless they are shaped up in real. A freelancer works as a free bird. He/she is driven by his/her will. But once the listed below things will captivate your mind and you will be crazy for them, you will be unable to surrender your aspirations for promotions:

a)      Outstanding benefits 

b)      Enhancing skills

c)       Attaining more experience

d)      Flexibility

e)      Where your preference lies

Estimate What Your Opportunity Costs

You can’t be gainer all the time. Gaining something may cost loosing something else. Developing new skills can be earned at the cost of time and money. Thereby, be the crossexaminer of your aspirations’ draft. Ask:

a)      What is the cost of additional training

b)      How much your pocket allows to pay

c)       How much time you can spend

d)      How desperate you are to pursue your promotional skills

Get suggestions from your freelancer friend:

Knowing your preferences can’t work miracle. You have to broaden your vision and visualize what fits the best to your aspirations and future goal. Expose your savvy side and have a look over online what career options match your goals. And if you get a chance to ask any freelancer friend who is in the same business that your dream goal is, that will be more practical information to you. Gather his/her suggestions for realizing your dream.
