Truth! I never thought it'd be difficult as i was used to being an employee but it's really hard sometimes.
I guess nobody talks about it because of their pride. People would think them weak if they talked about how difficult it is or how anxiety and depression inducing it is, especially if they do not have the same entrepreneurial mindset as you have. Friends who find out about it would more likely tell you to quit it instead of support and help you. A good external support system or a strong will and determination is needed to be successful as an entrepreneur or a freelancer.
The good thing with living the entrepreneur/freelance life is you supposedly have better control of your time instead of spending 9hrs away working for other people. Of course working for other people and loving it is a different thing altogether. Whatever works for each of us, right?
The key to this kind of life is focus, discipline and planning. Otherwise, for me, i feel like am wasting my time without the three. 😂
This is a great topic! I feel like writing a blog about it now. 😁
Definitely. It is unfortunate we find ourselves lacking support from those we thought we could turn to.
