The Freelance Gold Rush

Paul Mendes • Aug 21, 2020

In order to be free, you need to have the financial resources to support yourself and your family, no matter what state the economy is in.

That’s why in this blog we are going to be diving deep into... 

Why Freelancing is Your Golden Opportunity!

Freelancing has the ability to be your golden pathway to success if you approach it right. Online and remote positions continue to increase as the workforce shifts more towards a freelance workforce. The best time to take advantage of these new opportunities is right now.


In fact...

Some of the biggest tech companies in the world like Twitter, Facebook, and Shopify announced recently that their employees can work from home FOREVER!

They also stated that they are shifting towards a remote based workforce moving forward which gives us a slight taste of what the “New Normal” may look like.


There is no time to wait, this is where the workforce is heading and you don’t want to get left behind. Soon, if you aren’t freelancing you are going to be in the minority…


Even if you are currently employed, the events in 2020 have shown how fragile a corporate position can be. With unemployment reaching record highs, it’s time for the world to uncover how freelancing can impact the way everyone works.


In addition to having freedom over where, when and what you work on, freelancing also has the ability to open up doors to multiple streams of revenue. When you begin to leverage the skills you have already developed, you will start to see how achievable a full time freelance career can be for you.


If you are already a freelancer, that’s awesome! This is the time to expand your skills and continue to increase your value to the marketplace. In order to have the most success possible in your life it's important to do your best to anticipate the future and always be ready to adapt to it.

The Traditional Office Place As We Know It Is Rapidly Evolving

Are you ready for that? Do you have your skills sharpened? A personal brand built? In addition, other companies will continue following the tone set by the large ones and will be more comfortable hiring freelancers to fill their positions.


The way companies build and structure teams is rapidly adapting and changing towards the new shift. That’s why Zoom’s stock has risen since the pandemic hit. Because people are adapting and businesses are too. Businesses are seeing that many employee roles can be completed by a virtual workforce.


Now is not the time to get left behind. If you are distracted and do not have a clear direction in your career, you are
silently destroying your own future. Getting hyper focused about how you can set yourself up for success is an impactful way to entice change from within.


The choice is yours, and it all starts with YOU taking action.

What You Do Now In Your Career Will Ultimately Determine Your Future Success

It’s inevitable that big changes will occur in our life and we must be prepared to move forward when they do. Freelancer’s Union recently published a study which projected that…

Freelancers Are Preparing For The Future

“Building multiple streams of income through freelance clients is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for those who capitalize on it”

(-Paul Mendes)


It is up to you to use your time to make your future income
recession proof. You can do this by mastering skills that are in demand no matter what state the economy is in. Skills that are associated with helping businesses increase revenue will always be hiring.
