    As a freelancer sometimes I think i'm the only one with this kind of lifestyle, particularly where I live. Watching these kind of videos are so important and inspiring to me. I also struggle with going to bed early, I was always like that but usually at 4am. I'm going at 2 am since the start of this year and can't go far from that now. Thank you so much for this video, cheers!

    For some reason it was a real relief to hear you go to bed at 1/2 am. I really struggle to get an early night and I feel it really impacts my productivity the next day. I don't think i'll ever be one of those people who can go to sleep at 10pm lol

    It was refreshing watching this video reminded me of how I used to start my day usually about 10:00 a.m. I would get up around 8:00 take a walk around the neighborhood , have a light breakfast and then start reviewing things that needed to be done for that day. Officially start taking calls about 10:00 a.m. I have sent stepped away from that started into a whole different industry and now that I'm in this new industry it makes me long for being creative again so I'm looking for new inspiration and channels to help me with a smooth transition back into the creative industry. I joined your channel I look forward to new information that you will be putting out and I'll review your previous posts. Thank you for sharing.

Give it a month or two month to notice why you can't and can sleep at 9pm. Exercise help or press yourself to some extend physical activity. Anyways I'm just passing by and leaving a comment.

    Really enjoyed watching this, as a younger designer it's cool to see small things that I always mess up being done effortlessly by you, whether it's shit like grabbing a notepad before you start the call and not midway, or eating something light in the morning (very often I'll eat junk and feel lethargic), and those Tacos looked fire :)

    • @timetravelvictim
      @timetravelvictim Год назад +4

      My advice would be this. It's going to take time but learn your craft. Learn and create stuff all the time. Look at old design books and media from the past and take notes on anything that inspires you. It'll help you develop your own style too. Keep creating new media. Once you feel confident, don't be afraid to raise your rates as you need to. You'll need to learn a lot about business and negotiating as well. Focus on the big clients, but at first take it small and learn the process of the deal. Focus on bigger clients as you feel more comfortable speaking with the business owners. Look at your finances and start a budget. This will let you know how much you need to charge to live how you want. We believe in you, now go do it!
