 Hi everyone, this is a public service announcement to all you entrepreneurs out there and It's very quick And I just want to tell you to stop being an entrepreneur and that's it now. You can get back to whatever you're doing No, I Okay, well actually first before I get into it I always say this at the end, but I'll say at the beginning this time. Don't forget to click thumbs up click like And don't forget to subscribe if you want more videos that deal with freelancing with freelance translation but for freelancers in general freelancers entrepreneur as people who work online stuff like that and Okay, now let's get back to it So why do I say this? Why should you stop being an entrepreneur? obviously if you're an entrepreneur if you're a freelancer you're an entrepreneur, you know, and I'm a freelancer I'm an entrepreneur and Obviously, you're not going to stop what you're doing You're not going to go start working for a company right now But the reason I say this and I've touched on this before in other videos is that I see so many people chasing this Entrepreneurship ideal and it becomes like a false idol. It becomes something that people people just want to say I'm an entrepreneur I'm a I'm a I'm a repeat entrepreneur. I'm a serial entrepreneur, you know, and and I set up all these different printers and The problem with this is that at the end of the day, no one really wants to do business business with someone like that, right? I mean, no one wants to Start hiring someone whether it be a graphic designer whether it be someone who provides Widgets whether, you know, someone who provides this or that service or goods or products or whatever if they're not going to be in Business in a month or two and that's the problem with entrepreneurs You get this feeling that they're always looking for the next thing out there the next big thing out there They're always looking to pivot to change to look for whatever is huge and can get Them on the cover of some social media something or other and so you really need to So most clients when they're dealing with someone after they get into it for a while They want someone who is reliable someone who they know will be there and Who they can trust and so you want this feeling not so much that they're an entrepreneur But that they've only been doing what they've been doing for a long time and more importantly They will keep doing it for a long time if you're a graphic designer and you want to get hired people want a graphic designer Who really likes graphic designings feels very comfortable with graphic design and is going to keep being graphic designer for many many years and decades to come and that's the kind of general feeling that people want and So you kind of need to give that feeling you need to exude that you need to show that to other people and And I mean look if someone has a choice to hire someone who says I'm a serial entrepreneur I'm a graphic designer. I've also done this I've also done that look how dynamic look how cool I am look how hip I am or with someone else is like I'm a graphic designer And that's what I do and I've been doing it for a while many many different designs But nothing much else and that's what I'm gonna continue doing. Who do you think they're gonna hire? Of course, they're gonna hire the guy who just does graphic design and that's it So you kind of want to give that feeling of being a good old boring kind of brick-and-style brick-and-mortar style business And I say that in the sense that old-fashioned type business that that's that's what you do is you're calling in a way and Because then you sound more you sound less like an entrepreneur less like a freelancer and more like a business professional So if you say I'm an entrepreneur and I do graphic design It's very different from saying I'm a graphic design professional And if you're a graphic design professional, that's what you do That's it and that's what you'll keep doing and it just sounds that much more reliable that much more steady And that's what people prefer. Okay, because if you're hiring graphic designer Then you need something designed whether it be a website, but then later on you might need a logo and a brochure and stuff like that So you might be keep doing business with this graphic designer for the next year or two or more because then you're gonna have to have Corrections or repeats or whatever it might be and so you want someone who can be there for the long term and If you want to get that person's business You really need to show that you're there for the long term and stop trying to be all entrepreneurial about everything Also remember for a lot of things like payment terms When you get into it and when you deal with other businesses payment terms many times are 30 60 or 90 days out but you know if someone's an entrepreneur and They keep going with what's cool or something like that Then you don't know if they're gonna quote-unquote pivot in 90 days and maybe they won't be there anymore and And that's kind of risky for someone and they don't want to take that risk so That's all to say obviously if you're an entrepreneur and and more power to you These videos are for entrepreneurs. They're for freelancers. They're for people who do their own thing. So obviously You're one of those if you're watching this but You don't necessarily need to advertise that to prospective clients That might not be the kind of feel you want to give them and maybe you want to give them more of a feel that Oh, I found my calling or this is what I do. This is my my my job is a professional and that's it leave out the word entrepreneur leave out the word freelancer to Quite frankly or you know if you use freelancer say freelance professional, but like in my course I say I Recommend not using the word freelancer but saying if you want to be a translator say translation professional graphic design professional whatever it might be professional you know usually something like that works because it sounds a lot better than freelancer and that's no matter what your business is and This that's the type of feel you want to give you want to give not so much. I'm a freelancer entrepreneur I'm kind of figuring it out and we'll see how it goes, but you want you want to say no I've kind of figured it out and this is what I do and that's it and because people feel a lot more reassured with that and they feel a lot more secure and So they're that much more likely to hire you quite frankly And so I think it's just kind of a switch of mentality that a lot of entrepreneurs need to make because a lot of entrepreneurs get really excited about being an entrepreneur in itself and Following the latest entrepreneur craze, but it kind of doesn't give the right feeling to prospective clients very often And so you kind of need to step down on that. I mean, look if you have that that's great for you, but don't always Exude that don't always, you know show that to the client because that very often is in the right type of image That you want to give to the client. So yeah, that's pretty much it Let me know if you disagree with me if maybe you think that it's good to always be Entrepreneurial and be showing your entrepreneurship to prospective clients And you know, I'm curious to hear about it because in my experience at least that's not the case And so I really think people should stop being an entrepreneur and to stop always saying how entrepreneurial they are and trying to chase this thing of entrepreneurship this ideal of constantly being an entrepreneur because It can backfire many times. So anyway, I hope you found that useful and Once again, I told you everything to do at the beginning of the video and so I won't repeat it right now But I'll just say I'll see you in the next video. Okay. Thanks. Bye Savidum
