Most freelancers would have their own unique stories on how and why they shifted to freelancing as a career. Here's my story💁‍♀️

I've pushed through learning social media management because, at the back of my mind, I still wanted to pursue writing. Well, I was a campus journalist way back in high school. An all-rounder one - news writer/layout artist / literature writer / radio broadcaster. Most of my happy memories were when we were doing our local newspapers 📰 and doing literature works. I initially applied for a journalism course in a university, but my grades were more inclined to a science-related course. With that, I pursued Agriculture 👩‍🌾 at the University of the Philippines Los Banos, and I became a Licensed Agriculturist.

After getting my license, I worked for a couple of corporate companies as a farm supervisor, procurement officer, and supply chain planner. 🏪Those work experiences left a lasting impression on me, as well as a lot of great memories.☺️

After marrying and having a child, I was eventually faced with a dilemma that most working parents face - the juggling of responsibilities. 👨‍👩‍👧 Although I adore my job as a supply chain planner, I had to resign because of the difficulty of both being a working mom and traveling. I was rehired then as a procurement officer in one of my former workplaces. However, even though it is closer to our home, I was still faced with another issue - the pandemic, which ultimately resulted in being retrenched. 😞

A year after the retrenchment, I got back up my feet focusing on my longtime handicraft business - Crafted by Mommy Tin. 🧶 Though it has been just a hobby for ten years, I've been doing all the stuff in that small business of mine - brainstorming starter kits for newbies, editing all graphics, inventory management, and so much more. A part of me felt that I might have the skills to be a freelancer if I could accomplish this with my handicraft business. I got my first client this year, and then another one, and another one. And now, I'm improving my freelancing abilities by attending classes. And I feel alive again. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

I still have a lot of room for development, but one thing is certain: I will never regret pursuing this field. 📈⭐️

I would love to know your business story! Do you think we’ll be compatible as business partners? Then try booking a FREE discovery call with me https://tinyurl.com/contactTIF and let’s see.

Time goes by so quickly that we often miss great possibilities. As for me, I'm grateful that a year ago, I finally mustered the guts to begin freelancing and get that little work as a virtual assistant. 🙌

👍 I've known about freelancing for a while, but it wasn't until May 2021 that I really pushed myself to get some legitimate clients. I'm very thankful to these clients since they took the time to train me. 🙏 ✨

But I'm not stopping there. I know that I need to study more to give quality service to my clients. That's why I enrolled in a government-funded SMM training last September 2021 here in the Philippines. ⭐️ After all the effort to finish the tasks, I was able to get a certificate. Having this boosts my confidence in getting new clients.

Here are the four pillars of our brand, The Inventive Freelancer.

As a recap:
First pillar: Invent Surprising Solutions. Here in TIF, we brainstorm ideas to unfold daring possibilities. We make an effort to be game-changers and innovators. By thinking outside of the box, we are led to a wide range of possibilities, some of which are quite surprising. Rejecting standard solutions tests our ability to conceptualize new ideas. As a result, we are able to provide our clients with the greatest potential solutions.
Second Pillar: Turn something old into something new. Here in TIF, we deliver a new level of creative thinking by integrating varied details. We believe that this brand pillar not just literally means using the old to have new items, but taking old varied ideas and viewing them from another perspective to come up with another idea. 🤝For sure, there will be times when we may have idea blockages, but we make an effort to go back to this pillar and recollect our ideas. 📚
Third Pillar: Do the opposite. Here in TIF, we break away from the norm to bring forth new options.Doing the opposite doesn’t just mean breaking the rules or doing what’s wrong. For us, it means we are not bound by the options created by the norm. By taking a different road to a decision, we create a new set of options. 🖼 Yes, we may have a half-chance of failure, but we consider that the other half of our chance might be successful. 👩‍💼
Fourth pillar: Infuse a dose of vice. Here at TIF, we indulge in the habit of providing optimum solutions to our clients. Yes, we tend to be addicted. We’re addicted to that feeling whenever clients are satisfied with our work. We get butterflies in our stomachs when we know that we’ve done something that helps our customers. 🦋 We dance to the rewarding feeling of happiness when we complete our tasks, knowing we gave our very best.💃 And we realize that this addiction is now part of ourselves and our working ethics. Since this has positively affected us, we now like to entice people to do the same. That is to do your best to satisfy your desire to help other people. 💁‍♀️

Would you rather have more money or more free time? 🤑⏰

I came across this question a while ago, and it left me thinking, ‘Is there any way we can have both?’. Well, it’s plausible, but surely we’ll be needing guts to make hard decisions, and it is essential that we also have the help and support of people around us. 🤑⏰

Honestly, if I choose only one between the two options, I’d rather have more money. More money means I can outsource my work and eventually I’ll have more free time. More free time means I can think of other ways to have more money, and the cycle goes on. Not only I’d have more money and free time, but I’d be able to help the people I’ll be with outsourcing my work with. 📈👍

It would be excellent if the people you’ll be working with had the same ideals as you. That’s why business owners will need to have a set of tests that will enable them to assess the freelancers they’ll be hiring. 🤝 As you surround yourself with people with the same positive thinking as yours, for sure, you’ll help each other out in the future.

How about you, what would you rather have more money or more time? Leave a comment below or just message me and we can have a little chat. 🤙

While being a freelancer, social media manager, or just someone working from home may have benefits, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. 🌈⁠
⁠
Here are two common misconceptions (based on my experience) about the benefits of working from home. 😖⁠
⁠
Eating / Cooking 🥘⁠
Expectation: Cook all you want and become a Masterchef! 👩‍🍳⁠
Reality: Can eat just anything edible⁠
Though working from home is convenient, it doesn't mean a lighter workload. Sometimes, you may work for a longer time since you cannot hyperfocus unlike when you're at the office. Yes, we may have 2-3 hours of time saved on transport but for us who are not good cooks and thinks cooking deals a lot of energy, sometimes we opt cooking easy dishes or even ordering outside. 📲⁠
⁠
Stress factors 😰⁠
Expectation: No office, less stress⁠
Reality: More distractions, more stress!⁠
When I started freelancing, I was thrilled that the dreaded commute and traffic would be out of the picture. I really thought that freelancing would be a breeze until I realized that the distractions around me would replace the transportation stress. 😓 My daughter clings to me from time to time, and our room bursts with mess whenever I try working. Now, I've been training myself to keep my eyes on her during the day and focus on all my tasks during the night. Thankfully, my clients give me flexible schedules. 🙏⁠
⁠
We may have setbacks as we start working from home, but I hope these will not stop us from reaching our target goals. Let's stick with the reasons why we started this journey.⁠
