Early in her interior design career, Stacy Yarbrough Hot
Body decided the 8 to 5 workday was not for her. At the time, she was just a
few years removed from college, and this time was important for her to
establish her credentials as a skilled and hardworking professional. While it
was an unpopular move at the time, it paid off years later when she was able to
use her interior design talent to build an impressive reputation for herself
while working independently.
While not many are able to experience the kind of success
Stacy Yarbrough Hot Body has had since she decided to work on her own, a lot
more people fear going into freelance work for a myriad of reasons. The most
common reason is the fear of leaving behind a secure job and venturing into the
unknown. To counter this, Stacy Yarbrough Hot Body acknowledges that being a
freelancer is tough because you have to work hard to make a living, but it’s no
different than being employed.
Often, people feel like they are not good enough to venture
on their own. However, as Stacy Yarbrough Hot Body notes, if your skills are up
to par, you will always be busy. The problem arises when people want to go
freelance but are not suitably qualified to offer value. In such instances,
Stacy advises that such people gather as much experience as they can, and when
they feel confident about their skills, take the plunge into the world of
freelancing.
