Community

The idea of being a freelancer is often represented as a solitary act. You're on your own, fighting the world, no one to help out, no one to catch you if you fall.

I think this is an unfortunate idea-- I honestly don't think anyone is fully on their own, and if they are, they'd be better off finding a community of people to help them out. We make each other stronger, we build each other up, and we can also help out on ideas and execution!

Passion is going for it

For me, passion is ignoring all the reasons it might not work, ignoring the critics, ignoring the voice in my mind that says I'm not good enough to accomplish it.

Passion is foregoing the 'safe bet' in favor of taking the leap. Passion is putting it all on the line because nothing else makes any sense to me.

Passion is following my heart.
