The way I see it, that knowledge can inspire you to do one of two things:
1) Talk yourself into the fact that you’ll never cut it and find something else
or…
2) Use that high level of competition as your inspiration to really stand out
Have you previously been falling into that former category? I can’t blame you—our brains are so nasty to us, and sometimes it’s easier to preserve our own egos and not set ourselves up for disappointment. Been there, done that, my friend.
But, today I want to encourage you to put yourself in that second category. Yes, there’s a lot of competition in the freelance landscape, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for you—for your unique experiences, knowledge, and skills.
