The Great Resignation is still here, stronger than ever. I recently gave up my six-figure salary, amazing benefits, and the safety net that I had from being a full-time employee at a large fortune 500 company.
The day I quit my job, I felt like a massive weight was finally lifted off my shoulders. I'm now freelancing and creating YouTube content full-time, making more money than ever, and I've honestly never been happier.
THE END OF AN ERA
So, why have 59 MILLION Americans made the switch to Freelancing? It comes down to freedom and opportunity, something bred deeply into the American consciousness.
Today, many companies don’t offer the kind of compensation, benefits, or retirement plans that attract workers anymore. Employees are easily replaceable, and competition for any job with a leadership title requires graduate degrees and decades of experience.
JOB FLEXIBILITY
The recent Upwork investor study found that “78% of skilled remote freelancers cite schedule flexibility as a key reason for freelancing and 73% cite location flexibility.”
In a typical work environment, you show up as per the schedule given to you by your company. This fills their needs, not your peak productive hours.
JOB COMMUTE TIMES
Commute times around the country can drastically vary. I've personally spent the majority of my life driving 30 minutes to and from work, wasting countless hours just to sit at a desk and do the same thing that I could easily do from the comfort of my home.
HIGHER-INCOME
The last compelling reason so many people are transitioning to freelance work is because of the opportunity to expand and grow their income, skills sets, and education as well.
I started freelancing in May of 2016, and I'm now one of the highest-earning freelancers on Upwork with over $700,000 earned.
In my previous full-time job, I was making $113k per year. If you break that down into an hourly rate, assuming I only worked 40 hours per week when I often worked well over that, then I was making around $55 per hour.
However, as a freelancer, I'm currently making $150 an hour providing the same services. That's the power of freelancing and controlling your own pay.
You don't want to miss out on the freedom, flexibility, and earning potential that freelancing has to offer you. This is the year that you can finally take control of your life and live the way that you have always wanted to. Because if you don't start controlling money, then it will control you.
