Your university days are over. Gone are those structured, hard working (sometimes), but overall sheltered, days as a student.

Making it in the big wide world is a daunting prospect for anyone, but in these tough economic times the difficulties and hurdles facing new graduates are bigger than ever. With rising student debt, youth unemployment and cutthroat competition for the small number of jobs available to hundreds of thousands of graduates, the prospects for university graduates may seem quite grim.

How important is talent? Is it enough to let you succeed as a freelancer?

On the one hand, we’d love to believe that sheer talent automatically leads to freelancing success every time. Who doesn’t like a story of someone who rises from obscurity solely because of their outstanding ability? That’s the stuff movies are made of.

The setting and achieving of goals is one of the key elements in any self-development and business growth program.

When I was still working in the UN, we spent days and quite a lot of money for planning. The end result of all our planning was to have goals.

Freelancers benefit from having goals as well. Goals motivate us. They can keep us going even when freelancing gets challenging. Goal helps us make decisions about projects and clients. They also help us see if we’re on the right track, or if we should redouble our efforts or even change course completely.
