Now that I quit my 8-5 job what's next? Transitioning to full time freelancing after being employed for almost 3 years has not been easy. I remember I even had a serious flu during the first week 😂. Imagine.. getting used to talk to people every now an then but all over sudden it's only you and your laptop. Wueeh 🥲 Not only that! Time management factor was another issue. Planning my work and meeting deadlines was a struggle as well. It's only 2 clients then but I used to spend a lot of time even scheduling simple videos on Meta Business Suite. I would constantly feel fatigued, overwhelmed and worried whether I made the right decision. But guess what, I did not give up. I had left my 8-5 job to pursue my passion and grow my business. That alone was enough motivation to get out of bed and push harder. I started posting content consistently and got even better at it. Some of my videos went viral within the same month and that's how I got a bunch of clients. Let's get to the juicy part. My income rised compared to what I used to get while on Employment. I want to thank some of the people who constantly motivated me even without them knowing Elvis Warutumo Marcela Antonina K. Mwinzi Daisy Keter Ruttoh Onesmus Networking with this people has positively impacted my life. I no longer get overwhelmed, or struggle managing my time. I think I needed a few weeks to get into track. I'm now a full time Social Media Marketer who is steadily building her brand and pursuing my passion. If you ever get to such a point in life just know that it always gets better . Always choose growth over fear. I'm also looking forward to the LinkedIn networking session hosted by Elvis Warutumo on 4th May, from 9am to 4pm The previous sessions have been an eye opener and I have built tangible relationships with the right people. Let's meet on 4th May connect and share ideas. Leave a comment if you've been in such a scenario and you can also check me out on Tik Tok @Janet Marketing. #socialmediamarketer
