I’m only featuring the hundred push ups training program here because it’s perfect for freelancers. As someone who was formerly capable of doing 50 in one go, I can tell you that push-ups as an exercise are relatively easy to do (you just… push up!) but really work a lot of your body. The training […]
The same concept that makes good planning—specificity—also applies to pursuing your dreams. In other words, you have a better chance of fulfilling your dreams if you make them as specific as possible.

I’m pretty sure everyone wants to be as wealthy as possible. But much fewer people bother quantifying it (i.e., “I […]
As a non-American who periodically works for Americans (and Europeans and Asians), I make it a point to know when US holidays are.

Giving in to Distractions. It’s already two hours into the work day, but you haven’t gotten anything […]
Talk about freelancers who wake up early, and the probable reaction would be amazement. But stereotypes aside, freelancers do have to get up early.

Anyone—whether they work at home or at the office—has to deal with bureaucracies. Dealing with bureaucracies is one area where contract workers are trumped by their corporate counterparts, because the HR department usually takes care of filing the necessary paperwork and furnishing the requirements on your behalf. Freelancers are usually on their own here.
