Unlock The Freelance SuperHero In You

 Unlock The Freelance SuperHero In You...


Superheroes are great role models. They are amazing, strong, and inspiring individuals who use their talents to do good for the world. They aren’t just in comic books and from the movies either. There are many superheroes around us such as nurses, doctors, firefighters, teachers, etc. (big gratitude and shout out to them!) A superhero is anyone who is dedicating their life for others. 
They are superheroes not only because of what they do but rather how they do it, and how it makes them and everyone around them feel. They impact everyone’s life for the better, and most importantly, they save lives. 

I like to think that everyone has a freelance superhero within them, but they just need to UNLOCK IT. You see…


Freelancers Strive To Solve Their Client’s Problems, Inspire Social Change, And Improve Quality Of Life

They perform big heroic achievements with scarce time. Super freelancers have BIG visions and missions to accomplish, and help solve problems of the world. Freelancers may not have otherworldly powers or can fly, but they sure do know that they can create any vision of what they want for their future and that the sky's the limit. (cape or not!)


Just Like Superheroes, Freelancers Are Clear On Their Purpose And Helping Others 


As a freelancer,  it is important to make a statement that shows who you are and inspires your clients. This is how the world will be able to grasp the meaning of your mission first-hand. Super heroes accomplish huge triumphs with the help of their superpowers. As a freelancer, you have superpowers as well, and they come in the form of the skills you have and services you provide. Your goal as a freelance superhero is to accomplish the most amazing feat imaginable: provide services to businesses that are changing the world. You can unlock a secret power within you that makes you an extremely heroic and successful freelancer.


As you know, great power comes with responsibilities. To be a freelance superhero, you need a power (skill) that is more exceptional than any power a normal human being could possess, and use that power to have a positive impact on every project you work on. That has the power to create a ripple effect stronger than you may realize which can spread across the entire planet (The Butterfly Effect).This power is something you already have inside of you.

Freelance Super Heroes Never Give Up, They Always Continue, And Press Forward With Strength…

No matter how super you think you are, your strength comes from your character, not your talent. A superhero's true power and strength comes from
within. For example, did you know Batman doesn’t even have a single superpower? But that doesn't phase him because guess what…he’s SUPER-human and he never gives up. 


Batman is known for having the
strongest mind and he’s the most persistent human being, (powers or not.) He always stayed noble, got the job done, and stayed mentally strong no matter what challenge he faced. Another credit to Batman’s success is his “prep-time”. Before a mission, Batman doesn’t just go into it blind. He takes the deliberate time to map out his plan of attack, strategize how to accomplish the goal, and ensure to bring all the right tools and weapons to the battle.


Superheroes always get the job done. Think about it, there’s no story about Spiderman
almost saving Mary Jane from the burning building. There is no gray area with SuperHeroes and the same goes with Freelance Super Heroes!


This is why…💁‍♂️  Clients want to work with SUPER freelancers, the ones who are trustworthy, noble, defend their empire, go above and beyond, and have outstanding qualities. 



TRAITS OF A FREELANCE SUPERHERO

This is what will magnetically attract high-ticket clients to want to work with you. SuperHeroes teach us a lot. We can learn to turn weaknesses to our advantage and develop strong skills that make us unique and powerful freelancers. Especially in a constantly changing environment (much like the world we live in today) we can appreciate our values, our flaws, our strengths, and our talents inside of us. Having confidence and a strong mindset will allow you to capitalize on your Freelance Super Powers and begin having a positive
impact with every business you work with.
