I’ve long been bullish on freelancing as the best way to start earning a decent living online (unless you want to get a remote job).
And that’s because freelancing is a very simple type of online business.
Simple, but not always easy 😕
Seth Bedgood writes about handling rejection as a freelancer, including an analogy I like a lot…
I think of rejection more like striking out in baseball. The best baseball players in the world hit for a .300 average, which means that a whopping 70% of the time they fail. These are the best in the world and they are failing more often than they are succeeding.
In Sam Ovens’ Consulting Accelerator course (reviewed here), he reckons a 30% success rate from your pitches is about as good as it gets, and I tend to agree.
Keep swinging that bat, accept that rejections are part of the game, and know that some can even be turned to your advantage.
