What Is Freelancing?Is It Worth It?

Ever heard the term freelance and was puzzled about what it was? You aren't alone. Freelance is a word that isn't used enough in the entrepreneurship world, and today we want to recognize what this means and if it might be for you! 

Freelancers are individuals hired for a task or project by a company, while that freelancer can take on as many projects as they would like. Freelance allows entrepreneurs to take on various opportunities, grow their business, manage their workload as they please, and work with different companies. Another positive aspect of freelance is how freelancers take on the work they choose to take on. This work can be things an individual is passionate about, wants to do more of, or complete that project because it's for a friend or family member. 

Here are some more positive aspects of freelancing: 

1. Allows you to be flexible

2. You can get creative and pivot easily

3. You can feel proud of the work you are doing and the successes you have because they are your own

Although these positives sound remarkable about freelance, there is a downside to it, just like anything. Here are some of the negative aspects of freelancing: 

1. Taxes are challenging and complicated

2. No paid vacation

3. You will slow months and busy months; take advantage of what you can when you can

Now, considering the positives and negatives, freelancing is an opportunity open to anyone willing to take on something new, take on their passion, and have something flexible with their schedule.
