Lately, as I am coming to a close on my college days, I have been thinking about my aspirations and goals with who I have come to be over the past couple of years. I have learned I am someone who works better independently and likes to have creative control and claim to her work. This is why I know with my whole heart I belong in the freelance creative field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every project is new and each new person you meet becomes an ally in your battle for independence. This is the passion filled life I wish to encounter for a majority of my career. Of all things, I am also aware everyone has to begin their journey somewhere. I do acknowledge I have been given wonderful experiences and advice that has allowed me to step outside the usual barriers for someone my age. I am a blessed individual who is working as hard as she can to be someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the last couple of weeks, I have had to come to terms with the fact I won’t be responsibly able to start my career out as a freelancer. I simply do not have the money or the equipment needed to run the full fledged operation I dream of. I am going to have to put in some work before I can do what I wish for… the RIGHT way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, as you can imagine, has been a difficult pill to swallow as I know I won’t be doing exactly what I want to off the get-go. I guess it just aligns with the fact of when I am in school I focus on school. That’s what I have done all my life. I have friends who have graduated with fully developed companies, traveling, and living the dream… but they didn’t do fantastically in school the best way they could. It’s all a difference in mentality and priority. Neither of these options are wrong at all. He still graduated and I am going to have a job. It’s not a loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, this may all seem “boujee” and “first-world problematic,” and it is kinda is… I admit it. On the other side though, I have worked very hard and my mindset is very dedicated to achieving dreams and goals. I start something and do not stop until I get it; I’ve always been that way. I just have to keep reminding myself everyone gets to where they need to go at the time they need to and everyone starts somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re anyway like me… or an aspiring entrepreneur, I think this is a very important lesson to get ahead of. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
