This will help to avoid overscheduling down the road.

What are my skills? Job seekers should keep a list of their best transferable skills for the work theyd like to do. Some qualities of a great freelancer/entrepreneur include self-motivation, strong communication, organization, knowledge ofor a willingness to learnthe ins and outs of business practices like accounting and marketing, the ability to work well independently, and being comfortable with uncertainty.
