I wanted to share my journey as a freelancer and how it has transformed my life. I started freelancing while working at CodeRythm Technology Private Limited back in 2016, and it has been an incredible adventure ever since. Initially, I focused on WordPress development, but along the way, I learned many other technologies to meet my client’s needs and make them happy.
Today, I am fortunate to work with different companies as a freelancer, which has allowed me to pursue my passion fully. I love freelance jobs, even though they come with their fair share of risks, such as uncertain project availability. However, what truly brings me joy is building strong relationships with my clients. That connection and the satisfaction of knowing that my work has helped their businesses thrive are invaluable to me.
What makes freelancing even more rewarding is the freedom it provides. I can explore my other passions, such as cycling, gardening, reading, cooking, traveling, and engaging in social work. These activities not only enrich my life but also bring creativity and inspiration to my work.
Sometimes, I hear people say that their friends with similar skill sets and qualifications earn more. But for me, it’s not only about the money; it’s about finding self-happiness in completing projects and receiving positive feedback from my clients. Knowing that my work has made a real impact is what drives me forward.
In my freelance journey, I’ve encountered a few challenges that many of us face:
🔹 Time management: Balancing multiple projects and making the most of my time.
🔹 Project management: Overseeing every aspect of a project to deliver outstanding results.
🔹 Determining project scope and cost-effectiveness: Understanding client requirements to set realistic expectations and pricing.
🔹 Timely service delivery: Ensuring that I meet deadlines and provide prompt service.
I would appreciate your thoughts on what you believe might be missing in the freelance world. I’m also open to receiving feedback on whether my freelancing approach resonates with you and your vision of success.
