If you haven't updated it in the last few months, here's a video walkthrough of what you want to keep in mind while you update it! #Upwork Profile Secrets

Welcome. This Community is a living, breathing group of people with passion, desire and the mental strength to win. As is our own life, this Community is a work in progress. Encourage those around you, give constructive feedback, and strive to help so that we may all build our successes - together. Because together, we'll build our own Wonder. It all starts HERE. Leave a comment with #iwashere so we know who got in at the ground floor.

We love to hear about your achievements! Share your goals, your wins and the losses you learned from in here. Recommended: Take a white piece of paper, and on one side of it, write "CELEBRATE EVERY SINGLE WIN!" and on the other side, write a few of your next big milestones, and what you're going to do when you reach that mini-goal. Tape it up where you work so you'll see it every day... ...as a reminder of this: Behind every single win are the goals you're striving for.

The Freelance MVP Roadmap Here's what the journey ahead looks like: Step 1: Set up your foundation Step 2: Get in the habit of going for excellence Step 3: Make your first dollar Step 4: Get 20 clients Step 5: Make $10,000/month Step 6: Financial freedom A note about habits: Reaching all six steps is possible, but it's a long road ahead. If you're only doing a freelance job because you want money but not committed to excellence, then you probably won't make it. In the beginning, you won't get a ton of money. Excellence takes time - if you're not consistent, you won't be persistent in achieving your goals and you'll quit. The solution is to fall in love with growing. Every baby step you take will bring you further along your journey, every new trick you learn will bring you closer to your own personal Work Nirvana. A note about money: Money is important, but it's not our end goal. Freelancing is growing exponentially. Businesses are hiring more and more freelancers, but they don't want crap - they want the BEST. Our end goal is to commit to solving a specific client problem, full-time, and build a business out of it. Now that's a meaningful goal. A note about $10,000/month: It is possible to earn much more than this through freelancing, but this is roughly the point where there's a forced graduation into "business status" otherwise you'll burn out. A note about Financial Freedom: The goal isn't to sit on a beach and drink cocktails. The goal is to use your freedom do the things you love, become the master of your own destiny and build something greater than just yourself. This is the point where you can make some meaningful impact on the world, whether it's within your own sphere (e.g. by spending more time with your family) or on the wider world. Final notes: This roadmap is definitely not final. If you see any problems with it, comment below. If you can think of anything you think should be added, comment below.
