I think there are a lot of corollaries between freelancing and being a student.

I encourage all of you to take the next step in your student out and think outside the box. In doing so you’ll make yourself more marketable to the universities you want to apply for.

In this article “10 Essential Steps To Get To The Top Of Your Field “ from Free Lance Switch dot Com. I encourage you to read through the whole article, but here is a brief summary:

Be the best, and someday others will be emulating you.

• Learn from the best. This means you can learn from the pros that you want to become or imitate those that are doing well in that particular subject.
• Read up. Reading and learning from others is vital if you want to be the best.
• Practice. The best way to get better, because actual experience is the best teacher.
• Get feedback. Ask for feedback, even if it’s hard to hear, get it- clear out the emotional stuff and look for genuine ways to improve.
• Analyze. Analyze yourself, but don’t over do it.
• Practice some more. Keep on working and trucking away one day you will persevere.
• Edit. It’s very important that you edit your wor, after all it’s a reflection of yourself.
• Focus. Focus on the task at hand, multi-tasking is paradox and completely ineffective.
• Experiment. Step outside and be different, who knows you may change the world.
• Reflect. Spend some time each day and figure out what you have learned and see what you can improve and where to focus.

I encourage you to write down and reflect on what you read if you want to absorb the information and learn from it. Now go read the real article.
