Sometimes, the way that you think is what’s stopping you from growing as a freelancer.

Freelance myths are something that every freelancer has to get over when they first get into the industry. Usually, when you tell people that you’re thinking about freelancing, you get three kinds of responses:

• That person talks about that they thought of it once but haven’t acted on it.
• Or they start talking to you about some of those freelance myths and misconceptions around freelancing.

While there are definitely perks to freelancing that a typical day job won’t enjoy, it’s not an easy spot to be in. And those misconceptions about the job and the industry itself could in fact stall your own growth and progress in this industry.
