Freelancing and full-time work together. Is it worth choosing between freelancing and fulltime?.

Go freelance irrevocably

First, weigh everything up.. Freelance – it's another life more interesting, but also more risky. The easiest way to switch to freelancing is for people with authority in a particular field and if in the office you could be an indispensable employee then in freelancing you can be an ordinary., or even beginners.

Not always after the office calm, people are ready to go into the storm of remote work. Remember if you decide leave the office then I can congratulate you, It's possible, tomorrow you will wake up a different person, and in half a year or a year you will begin to think about, why how much time was given to work in the office, how you can live on one salary and how you can buy expensive things immediately on the income from one large project, and not to take a loan.

Let's return from the cloudy future to our days. In the beginning, it is better to try to perform small and one-time projects in your free time and look for regular customers. When your stable income in remote work exceeds the earnings in the office, you can part with the boring four walls, endless bosses and move to a permanent freelance job. If you decide to switch to free bread do not tell anyone about it at work, can go unnecessary gossip rumors conversations. Many of the reasons misunderstanding of freelancing you just won't be understood the less you talk the better. Prepare your workplace at home in advance. Update your computer and connect high-quality Internet. Freelancer's workplace, usually, located at home. It is important to think through everything to the smallest detail. Although sometimes it is useful to work outside the home (in nature, in the country, in the car). Sometimes a change of scenery is desperately needed. This is another advantage of remote work you choose, where do you work. Therefore, good to have a laptop.

Path, which we have chosen above, this is the way to go cautious people.

The second way to come to freelancing from scratch.

Many girls, once on maternity leave, start looking for a part-time job. Not only can't they be in the office., but also leave the house if they don't have a babysitter. Pensioners also face the problem of finding a job., young professionals and students without work experience. Freelance, for people who have lost their jobs can be a lifeline. In conditions of unemployment, it is sometimes easier to find orders on the Internet, than to go around the thresholds of offices and fill out numerous questionnaires.

A Freelancer's Third Way to Turn Former Employers into Clients

In my practice, there was a case, when a girl, who went on maternity leave, worked part-time at home at her main job, she was a designer. When I understood, that does not have time to make an order, she asked for a friend and took a percentage of the work done.. This work was so liked by the authorities, that after a short conversation they translated it, for the position of a remote employee, she became a "marketer" who searched for performers on the network. And so she began to select staff and conduct orders., and firms, who needed quality performers, became more and more.

And there are many such examples., the main thing is that the authorities are understanding. Best of all, this option is with private companies and in addition you must be a valuable employee.. You need to be sure, that they will not want to break off relations with you. It is important to show the manager, that you want to develop, and not just leave, because it got boring. Don't Talk, that you don't like working in an office, speak better about the company in a positive way. When you want to start a conversation, it is important to choose the right moment.

My Remote Work Strategy

For me, I chose a part-time freelance job because I believe, that income should weigh on everyone's personal efforts. And the development here is much more.. Plus, if I lose the customer it is not so critical. The office relaxes people even in case of dismissal, people are starting to experience a lot more difficulty. For example, an accountant brought up to count everything manually with very big problems switches to doing business through a computer, and all just because for many years no one touched him and let his knowledge take its course.. Until you are in control of the situation and take responsibility, there can be no stability. In a sense, Freelance more stable, than fulltime.

I would advise you to work during the day at work, and in the evening on yourself and not to get tired you have to do a job hobby. It is better not to advertise in your company that you work for two even if your client is from another city or even a country., besides not liking other employees that you get more of them, that you can afford to buy a car, that you can afford a holiday abroad. The best option to start freelancing, silently and without envious eyes. Come up with a creative pseudonym so that your boss does not find you. The thing is,, that when you work on your project you automatically become competitors to the office where you work. Never try to poach a company's customers, in which you work, this is fraught with consequences, this is followed by loss of reputation and place of work. Even if the customer says, that everything will be kept secret and that everything is by friendship, remember the famous phrase from the series “Dr. House” that “Everybody Lies”, and even if not so sooner or later everything will still become obvious and pop up to the outside. When combining freelancing and fulltime, look for a compromise on time work and income. Never work with customers from the office, since our admins work well, and the history of ICQ persists for a long time.. The simplest punishment for you will be a new pile of work, not to be engaged in “Nonsense” in the workplace. If you already have to work in the office, it is better to do it on a personal laptop.. From my experience I will say, that remote work gives more experience in different areas than fulltime, so for your employer, it's not always as bad as it may seem at first glance..

Remote work and a constant good income makes you more confident in yourself, no one wants to dismiss such an employee.. Person, who is confident in himself does not cost anything to go to work for competitors.
