Working as a freelancer on Upwork, you can make $10K+/mo and take a week off too. Tell me which job can help you do that? That's right - none. Unless you're some investment banker and some boss is breaking your back day after day and you have to fly all across the world, and be continuously sleep-deprived.You think starting in the most saturated field known today is different than having a job? That’s what you’d call “entrepreneurship”?!
Last year (or maybe it was 2 years ago), I had a dare with a buddy of mine. He said that even with my experience if I go back to Upwork, I'll struggle to make bank while running my business. Suffice to say in 4 months I made around $20K while also working on my business and spending no more than probably 2 hours per day on Upwork.
It's the easiest way to make money ever. Once you master Upwork, you'll never get another job, I can promise you that.
So businesses don't need sales?Need? See entry.
Yes, like a job right?Oh, I don’t know, something that doesn’t violate every single one of the CENTS commandments and has some originality might be a start.
The total cop out is getting a job. That's the farthest thing from entrepreneurship.“Hey latest victim, be a copywriter like me!” Stop. Just stop. It’s settling. It’s a total cop out. I can’t stand the idea of someone signing up for an entrepreneur forum and then the copywriting brigade wins him over to be a freelance loser with them.
Sure copywriting (or some other freelance skill) doesn't meet CENTS for the most part. No control, no scale and no time. It's not a fastlane business. Of course.
BUT... all freelance skills meet NEED and ENTRY. They help people solve problems, and they take skill to do well. Not any retard can get started as a copywriter on Upwork and make $10K/mo.
And they are great places to get started for entrepreneurs.
So stop moving the goal posts. The comparison here isn't between fastlane business and freelancing. It's between freelancing and getting a job so that you can have a foundation to launch a fastlane business from. Most jobs don't even meet NEED, much less ENTRY lol...
