Best Mantra I’ve learnt..I’m saying it to you !! ✌️

Hellooooo People!

As you navigate your freelance journey alongside your studies, it's helpful to have a guiding framework. That's why we're introducing NECST - 5 key principles to bring focus and intention to your freelance efforts:

N - Need 🔍 First, get crystal clear on what you truly need from your freelance work. Is it supplemental income? Practical experience? Exposure in your field? Defining your needs helps direct your energy effectively.

E - Entry 🚀 The hardest part is often just getting started. Create a bias towards action. Make that first cold email or job proposal. Build the website. Every step moves you closer to achieving your needs.

C - Control 🤝 As a solopreneur, you're in full control of your time, your rates, your clients and services. Leverage this autonomy strategically rather than reacting passively. Take charge of your freelance business.

S - Scale 📈 Grow sustainably by scaling up in a focused, intentional manner. Deepen your expertise in a niche area. Streamline processes. Expand services aligned to your core competencies. Avoid spreading yourself too thin too quickly.

T - Time ⏳ Building a successful freelance career while studying is a long game. Give it time. Stick with it through ups and downs. Compound your efforts incrementally. Celebrate small wins along the way.

Memorize NECST as your guiding philosophy. Review it before every key decision. Let this framework steer your mindset through the rollercoaster of student freelancing.
