Have you ever wondered what could have happened if you had...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... accepted that job offer? 👩🏻‍🚒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... rejected the position you're in now? 👩🏻‍💻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... joined that trip around the world? ✈️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... gone on that date? 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... kept studying? 🎓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...

You’re young, you feel free and you want to trav You’re young, you feel free and you want to travel the world while earning money. ✈️ Fun seems neverending – and so does your good health. However, unfortunately, we all get sick sooner or later. And when that happens, we’ll be more than grateful to have health insurance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know, I know... Insurance talk is anything but sexy! But we freelancers have to take care of unsexy stuff – like insurance, taxes, and admin work. That’s one of the downsides of entrepreneurship, right? In my opinion, these are the types of insurance that a freelancer needs:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Health insurance. Not that important if we just get a cold. But what happens if we get really sick and need a longer treatment? I know, I don’t wanna think about it either, but we have to, don’t you think?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Pension fund. This insurance is so important – and we pay so little attention to it, just because we think we’re always going to be the youngest! A pension fund provides you with retirement income. Do you know what can happen if you don’t save for your retirement? Well, you’ll most likely have to work your whole life! So you want to start doing something about it as soon as possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Disability insurance. You receive a monthly income if you’re unable to perform your work due to a disability. Now, you want to choose an insurance company that pays you an income due to a disability that prevents you from developing YOUR profession.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Professional liability insurance. It protects you in case of claims against a service or product of yours. Just imagine that you deliver your work later than agreed, and your customer has to postpone a market launch. Depending on the customer, this could be translated into many dollars!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, even if paying for “just-in-case fees” isn’t what we’d like to spend our money on, believe me, you’ll be grateful you have insurance when you need it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me, do you have any insurance?

Are you also proud of being a perfectionist?⠀⠀ Are you also proud of being a perfectionist?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know, I know... Perfectionism is supposed to be another way of procrastinating yada yada yada 🤪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm sorry, I've tried, but I have to be proud of anything I do before sharing it with the world! 💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I mean, self-promotion and marketing are already hard enough, so if you don't love what you do because you're ashamed of it not being perfect, how are you supposed to sell anything, right?! 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So yes, I'm a proud perfectionist, but I set myself deadlines so that my perfectionism doesn't turn me into a procrastinator.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? Leave a comment below and tell me that I'm not the only one 😅
