What if you end up with too many leads and too much work? Go where
money is! Stop working for clients that take up too much of your time and pay too little in return, and start working for clients who pay you more.
>> Secret #3: Work Efficiently
Working on your own can lead to lazy work habits that you'd never get away with if you were employed by a company. Remember, if you want to earn a 6-figure income, you need to be earning money every day.
The most important thing is to organize your day. Set your hours and put aside blocks of time for writing, promotion, administration etc. You may want to use some kind of program or system for scheduling tasks by
day, week and month.
Be tough on yourself. Set your schedule and stick to it.
>> Secret #4: Set Goals
If you don't know what you're aiming for, it's really tough to get there! Far better that you set some goals. Again, set weekly goals, monthly goals and yearly goals.
How high should you aim? Stretch yourself, but be realistic. In other words, set goals that will challenge you and make you work hard, but don't set goals that are so ambitious you are almost bound to fail. When you do that, you'll simply become discouraged.
>> Concluding thoughts...
Does $100,000 a year sound too ambitious? I hope not. Thousands of freelance writers have broken
6-figure barrier. With some determination and a clear set of goals, it's very achievable.
