Working Freelance (Perfect for Traveling and Playing Chess)

It’s the dream job - no commuting to work, flexible working hours and best of all - you are your own boss. If you are dreaming about this, then you are dreaming about freelance work. The best thing about going freelance is - without that structured 9 to 5 schedule – it is perfect for traveling and playing chess.

But, you will not get there by just dreaming …start right now! Be positive and get to work! Watching television all day will not make you your own boss.  Have you read about this?

“If you don’t start building your dreams right now, someone else will hire you to build theirs.”

If you have been dreaming of transforming yourself from a “clock puncher” to working on your own pace and time, the right time to start is now! Again, if you start right now at this instant and work freelance, imagine the benefits – working at your own pace and time; no need of dressing up for work; No commute; or worrying about your children at home!

But of course, this is better said than done! I know it is not a reality to just leave your monthly paid job of sure income and plunge into freelancing work without a plan. However, keep in mind that successful people make a start and never stop until their dream is made into a reality.

The Internet has made Working Freelance Easier

Decades ago, working freelance is very difficult and almost an impossibility. Freelancers are often referred to with doing work independently, but only around the neighborhood. Word of mouth and a few advertisements posted on walls are your only way of making your work or business known.

With the advent of the Internet, working freelance and playing chess has become more convenient and easier. Making known your services and talent is no longer limited to your circle or around your community but accessible to the whole world.

The Internet has made the world smaller and communication is just a matter of click in real time. With this technology, working freelance is now realistic and clients abound throughout the whole world. Work is no longer limited. It is now an open field of work.

While there are plenty of “scams” or illegitimate and fraudulent freelance work on the web, there are still several work at home or online sites that are reliable, legitimate and actually pays.  

Working freelance, however, is not a panacea for work-related issues and definitely not a get rich quick scheme. Scams and illegitimate work from home abound the internet. Those who intend to work freelance has to be very careful in choosing legitimate work or projects advertised as a "freelance engagement".

If you intend to travel and play chess,  why not try freelance work and leave that very limiting cubicle of yours.
