In
order to assure your chances for the greatest success,
you should do some self-evaluation before you leap into
freelancing. Not only does it take a special temperament
to run a successful business, but it also takes talent
and expertise in your field. This includes some or all
of the following personality features: self-confidence,
common sense, innovation, and ambition. Also, Even though
for the most part a freelancer works alone, you will
need to deal well with others and be a good team player.
You will also have to deal with time and money pressures
on a daily basis. And you will need to learn how to
multi-task because you are the sole employee of your
company. This article will help you pinpoint what your
strengths and weaknesses are to see whether or not freelancing
is for you.
It
is important that when you evaluate yourself that you
are honest with yourself. If you are lazy, lack creativity,
have no self-confidence, and to top it all off you hate
to learn new things then maybe you should rethink starting
a home business. If you lie on the following self-evaluation
test and say that you are self-confident and communicate
when in reality you freeze in the face of clients, you
will only hurt yourself, so be honest.

So
you have taken the self-evaluation test. How did you
do? Don't let this "test" dictate how you are going
to run your life. If your passion to succeed is strong
enough you will learn to compensate for your weaknesses
with your strengths. For ex. If you are lazy… overcome
your laziness with drive and ambition. If you remember
that you can overcome almost any situation with ambition
and perciverence you can and will succeed!
