Qualities of a Freelancer

Feb 17, 2008

I believe that a good freelancer sees to it that he or she is:

  1. a good negotiator
  2. appreciates deadlines
  3. beats procrastination
  4. has very good communication skills
  5. has that entrepreneurial mindset
  6. very skilled in what he or she does
  7. always continues to hone his or her skills
  8. knows his or her limitation
  9. adapts easily to change
  10. believes in satisfying his clients
  11. works not only with one but multiple clients (for most of the time)
  12. attempts to draw multiple sources of income
  13. learns how to network with other freelancers and clients
  14. knows when to party

Admittedly, I am not that ideal freelancer. Procrastination is my strongest enemy. I often work over time too. That is my biggest challenge as a freelancer.

Do you want to add something more to the list?
