Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick update and honestly ask for some motivation. In the last 2 months, I’ve earned $93.67 on Upwork. It’s not a huge number, but for me it meant a lot because it proved I can get clients and deliver work. Here are my last 90 days stats: - 129 profile views - 12 invites received - 3 hires from invites - Total: 3 hires in 90 days The numbers show potential. But the issue is… I’ve been inactive for some days now No proposals. No follow-ups. Just overthinking. I know consistency is everything in freelancing. I know I should double down right now instead of slowing down. But mentally, I feel stuck. So I’m posting here for accountability and motivation: - How do you stay consistent when momentum drops? - What do you do when you start overthinking instead of executing? - Any mindset shifts that helped you push through slow phases? My goal is simple: Get back to daily proposals Cross $500 milestone Build long-term client relationships Would appreciate any advice, tough love, or strategies that helped you level up. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ac9dfd5b35dc7b35?mp_source=share

By mid-December, my JSS was at 56%. In just 10 days, after completing 2 jobs, I was able to bring it back to 100%. This is a huge achievement for me and a big confidence boost. Special thanks to Haroon Bhai and his community, Media Valley School, where people genuinely guide and support each other. I learned a lot there about freelancing, managing my Upwork profile, and doing things the right way. Truly grateful for the support and motivated to keep improving. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ac9dfd5b35dc7b35 @Haroon Khalil

Alhamdulillah, I received another job invitation today. The issue was small, but very important for the client, and they were quite stressed about it. I fixed the issue in almost 10 minutes and informed the client, and they approved it right away. It reminded me that even small tasks can create big value when you solve them quickly and correctly. Feeling grateful and learning every day. @Haroon Khalil

Just cleared my first milestone today and the client has released the payment. The amount isn’t much, but it’s a solid start and a big confidence boost. One thing I want to share is that my proposal wasn’t anything fancy. It was simple, to the point, and clear. I’m attaching my proposal with this post in case it helps someone here. The best part is that the client is happy with my work and has already said they’ll rehire me after the holidays for future projects. Feeling grateful, motivated, and excited for what’s ahead. @Haroon Khalil @Asim Irfan

Hi everyone, I need some guidance on a serious issue. I worked with a Czech company called Dapnia Group s.r.o. under a signed service contract. They made me work for about 20 days and then suddenly blocked all company accounts connected to me email, ChatGPT Plus access and internal tools. According to the contract, they were supposed to give a 14-day notice before ending the agreement, but they didn’t. When I asked, they told me they couldn't continue with me and said they would pay me for the 20 days I worked. Our last proper communication was on 11 November. They asked me to send my invoice and I did. They said they forwarded it to their finance department. After that, no response and no payment. I emailed them multiple times, even warned them about legal action, but still no reply. The amount they owe me is $666, which is not small for me. I can't afford a lawyer in Europe and I don’t know if there's any way to take legal action for free in the Czech Republic. Is there any option where a lawyer takes their fee from the company and I don’t have to pay anything upfront? Has anyone dealt with something like this? Any guidance would really help. @Haroon Khalil @Umair Bajwa @Asim Irfan Thank you.
