Freelancing and Entrepreneurship Is The New Age of Working - Getting out of the 9-5

6-30-2017

Everyday I wake up and get ready to go to work. The job isn't fun, I know what i am doing when I do the job, and my colleagues are really cool. However there is something that has been poking at my brain for the last few years now since I've been in the IT business for quite awhile. I've always wanted to go freelance with all my skills that I've acquired in the past few years and the knowledge I'm learning till today, I can run circles around most businesses in the local area. At the end of the day, I come home and I tell myself, I know I can do a lot more with my talents than just IT. I've proved it in the last few months if not years.

If you have been following my posts I've been doing a lot of baking lately and sold a good amount of my goods to make a decent amount of cash. I've also added to my list of things that I can bake such as bread, cupcakes, cakes and cinnamon rolls. Although baking is a decent sideline gig to make extra cash, I feel I can do more with the little amount of time that I have, and make more money. Even though my work and side-line life gives me less sleep sometimes. I feel accomplished but I want to get out of the daily grind of the 9-6 and do what I want to do and earn money from it.

So a month ago I scheduled a 4 day work leave. I wanted to use that time to promote an Idea that I know i can do however I will be using another platform called Patreon to run the services. My friend and I founded the idea since between the both of us we make a really good IT team. So we Decided to brainstorm concepts of how we could bring out our expertise into the light. So we decided using some plywood laying around the house used it as a board and wrote all out ideas down. This is our final concept of our expedition into freelance work and our entry/ exit point of getting out of the 9-5.

It has come to our attention that we have the skills, we have the software, and we have the technological know-how to assist users on a global basis on PC concerns. We have access to a lot of software that can help users in their everyday lives. We have the ability and the tools to get the job done. Although our services are strictly towards personal user issues. We've found a niche that most people don't commonly see and we believe we can provide such a service.

It's not really generic troubleshooting or tickets, although we do also provide that service. We also provide services that helps users create the content they need. It can be software that makes movies, makes audio, pdf files, etc . We are taking the concepts of Amazon Web Services and piloting our own form of it. What will make our services just that more enjoyable is that we customize to our clients, its not always strictly "this", we can customize towards the clients needs. So if they want "this" or create content with "this" specific software, we can do it.

Payment wise, we've decided that we can accept Cryptocurrency. We've decided to take in 3 forms, which is Bit Coin, Steem Dollars, and Ethereum. We also accept credit card payments through paypal. However the payment system is still in the works, we feel crypto-currency is by far the easiest way to go, but also paypal in another step. We are thinking of other services. For now we're still brainstorming whats simple and easy to use.

Overall my 4 days of thoughtful thinking and getting an Idea off the ground is well worth it knowing that my future to get out of the 9-5 could be coming true. I feel that the more time to do what I want to do that makes money is way better than doing something I don't want to do. Thankfully I ended the last night of brainstorming with Chicken Katsu with my home made Katsu Sauce.

If I can bake, do IT work, be a blogger on Steemit and all this can be done at the comfort of my own home, I really need to haul-ass because like my friends use to say "WORK IS NOT FOREVER". I believe there is a lot of truth in that statement and Freelancing and Entrepreneurship in today's day and age is the new work everyone is now striving for to live their lives.
