I used to introduce myself by saying, “I’m a freelancer.”

Simple, right? But over time, I realized something strange.

People treated me like a plug-and-play solution. They’d send me tasks, expect quick turnarounds, and often ghost me after the work was done.

And it wasn’t their fault — I had positioned myself that way.

So I made a decision: I stopped calling myself a freelancer.

Instead, I started showing up as a brand with a clear identity, a consistent message, a defined process, and most importantly, a client experience that stood out.

I built a content system around what I do. I refined my offers. I started creating onboarding processes, project templates, and progress reports.

I designed service packages that made it easy for clients to understand the value of working with me not just the cost.

When you think like a brand, you no longer rely on project scraps. You create ecosystems.

That shift turned everything around.

Now, clients don’t just come to me for a service ; they come for structure, results, and clarity. They want a partner, not a task-taker.

Here’s the thing: freelancing can be the gateway, but don’t stay stuck in the gig zone. If you’re building something long-term, start treating yourself like a business from day one.

You don’t need to have a team to think like an agency. You just need a mindset that says: “I don’t take orders. I offer solutions.”

That’s what changed the game for me.I used to introduce myself by saying, “I’m a freelancer.”

💲 서클 IPO에 대한 드래곤플라이 파트너의 의견 Source

「IPO 신청서 내 매력적인 부분이 단 하나도 없으며, 어떻게 50억 달러에 가격이 책정되는지 이해가 가지 않음.」

1️⃣ 총 이익 감소

• 22년 59.9% → 24년 39.3%, 33% 하락
• 원인은 유통 및 거래 비용 증가

2️⃣ 막대한 운영 비용

• 보상 비용이 연간 2억 5천만 달러 이상
• 일반 관리비도 1억 4천만 달러 추가

3️⃣ 금리 하락 전망

• USDC 준비금 이자 수익이 서클의 주요 수익원
• 금리 인하 가능성이 90% = 수익 감소 예정

4️⃣ IPO 오버 밸류

• 24년 예상 순수익 기준 32배 밸류
• 독점 구조도 아니고, 악재도 많은 상황에 너무 오버된 밸류

🔥 '유동성 확보하려는 필사적인 시도'로 보임

✍️ 댓글 반응도 거의 대부분 동의하는 분위기네요. 그래도 넘버투 스테이블코인인데 들여다보니 이런 내용도 있는..

IPO 도전장을 내민만큼 실패는 치명적일텐데 어떻게 흘러갈지 지켜봅시다

Mandrills are easily recognizable by their blue face and red nose. They also have very long tusks, which can be used for self-defense, although showing them is usually a friendly gesture among mandrills.

Fun fact: Mandrills are the largest species of monkeys in the world! 🦍✨
