When you're just starting out, a lack of a steady income can be a problem .
You need to be constantly searching and maintain an entrepreneurial mindset to increase your reputation and client base.
You can't just sit around waiting for work to come your way . You need to spam database apply for projects, meet other contacts, or ask for recommendations and testimonials from the few or many clients you've worked with.
Billing
In cases where you don't work through platforms like Workana or Freelancer, it's sometimes difficult to get paid for your work in full.
On other occasions, in order to try to obtain new income and not lose clients, people end up asking for a lower payment for the services they offer .
Invoicing in some countries requires compliance with specific obligations and costs, making it difficult to reach a suitable agreement with the client.
Vacation
Just like income, vacation time is up to you . It's not a paid vacation, so you should save up and plan it for dates that don't conflict with your current projects.
