Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Freelancing doesn't necessarily mean you're alone. The future of freelancing is collaborative, and if we can enable people to harness their networks to drive business growth, that's going to be a huge game-changer for this entire freelance economy.
2. Independence is like freedom. The freedom to choose what you work on, and who you work with. Even if you are teaming up and collaborating with other people, you do have that freedom.
3. A lot of the marketplaces that exist today for freelancers create this false competition, when in reality the natural behavior for this community is to collaborate, share resources, and help each other out.
