Today is National Freelancers Day, a time when freelancers everywhere can celebrate the way they work, take a moment to think about the contribution they make to the economy and basically feel pretty damn lucky that they’re not stuck in a soul-destroying 9 to 5 office space (well, that’s my take on the meaning of the day anyway). I almost missed it this time round and didn’t even realise the significance of the date until this afternoon, but I couldn’t pass it by without writing a (very) little post for it.
So what can I say? Well, besides the fact that this is a great way to work, we freelancers are also bringing something valuable to the table. Not only do we provide a service but we do it in a way that’s flexible and cost-effective for clients whilst being beneficial for us – it’s a win-win situation for everyone concerned, and for the most part we’re in control. We’re doing it for ourselves and need to celebrate that fact, and what better way to do it than this? Happy National Freelancers Day!
