Fear of the unknown when transitioning is one big fear faced when approaching freelancing. These fears sometimes include Inconsistent Income, Job Security, No HMO, etc
Skepticism- this usually comes from people who are critics and tend to criticize your every move, reminding you of your weak points and shortcomings. You need to cut such people off.
Laziness: Laziness here refers to your lack of action or reactiveness, waiting to be forced or supervised before you get a task done.
Lack of Know-how: Being a freelancer means that you are the owner of your own business. This means you are responsible for everything from sales to service to accounting to payment collection etc.
