"The people who truly flourish at what they do-the ones who can make the incomes that other people only dream about or have the business structure that we all strive toward-they've really dialed in on mindset. They're confident about what they do and how they do it."
"Instead of thinking like a paycheck-chasing hustler, think like a CEO. That means defining your service offerings, pricing them deliberately, and targeting them toward the right clients, says freelance business coach Treasa Edmond, founder and podcast host for Boss Responses."
"Edmond, who shifted into self-employment from full-time work, earns more from 20 hours of client work per week than she ever made at her brick-and-mortar job. She also knows freelancers who make a full-time living from five hours of client work per week."
Freelancing is often perceived as a desperate fallback option, but many people, particularly Gen Z, deliberately choose it as a viable career path. The key difference between struggling and thriving freelancers lies in mindset. Rather than operating as paycheck-chasing hustlers, successful self-employed professionals think and act like CEOs. This involves clearly defining service offerings, setting intentional pricing, and focusing on the right client relationships. Freelance business coach Treasa Edmond, with 20 years of experience, emphasizes that flourishing freelancers are confident about their work and have moved beyond the scarcity myth. Self-employment does not inherently mean lower income; many freelancers earn more working fewer hours than they did in traditional employment, though this requires years of business model refinement.
