Gig Economy News Update

Whatever stage of entrepreneurship you’re in, it never hurts to have a little encouragement and a little advice on how to fine-tune your efforts. From difficult truths to figuring out how you work best, issues of any size can get in your way—but only if you allow them. Here are articles with great insights to get you working optimally and to help you get ahead of any challenges.

Learn the Tough Lessons

Entrepreneurship is tough, we all know that, and learning a hard lesson in a challenging field can quickly take the wind out of your sails. Here’s a heads up from Entrepreneur Magazine on the challenging lessons that too many entrepreneurs learn the hard way, so that you can be prepared and even set yourself up to avoid common pitfalls.

Don’t Forget to Retain

As the old saying goes, “Gain new clients, but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold.” Okay, so that’s not how the saying actually goes, but for entrepreneurs, it rings true. It’s easy to get so swept up in searching for new Gigs as a freelancer, that you forget about the importance and the value of retaining previous customers. Keeping your customers should be one of your biggest investments of time and resources. Make sure you get the best ROI possible with our top tips for retaining clients.

Face Your Fears

Fear can stop you from getting started, or it can hold you back even after you’ve jumped into the Gig Economy. Don’t let fear stand in your way and hinder your success! Check out these tips from Forbes on how to face the five most common worries nagging entrepreneurs today.

Know Your Work Style

Co-working spaces sound amazing, but they’re not for everyone. The same is true of collaboration spaces, which attempt to foster creativity and growth between entrepreneurs.
