Raylen Davis | Freelancing: How To Overcome The Hustle Mentality with Karl Swanepoel @RaylenDavis | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Freelancing is becoming more popular because of the increasing number of layoffs, and statistics shows that more than half of the US workforce will be freelancers by 2027. In addition, there are more than 1.56 billion freelancers globally, which is a third of the global workforce already today. Nonetheless, if we’re to move in this direction and be successful, we have to learn how to overcome the hustle mentality and the solo style of working that so many freelancers live by. The hustle mentality can deter financial freedom for so many of us as entrepreneurs, but creating a long-term vision can help you transform your business space, whether that is in freelancing or any other industry.
Join the conversation with Karl Swanepoel as he shares more about freelancing, how to overcome a hustle mentality and solo style to manage a team and live in abundance as a freelancer. Karl is a tech entrepreneur based in the UK and the founder and CEO of Revolancer, a freelancing company focusing on creating a brighter future for flexible work.
