If you’re on Fiverr, then you probably already know that the “secret of getting ahead is getting started,” as Mark Twain said (see the “10 Optimistic and Inspiring Quotes” below).
Beyond having a great idea and charging ahead, how can you take control of your destiny and shape your career future? This week’s Gig Economy articles combine inspiration with useful information to supercharge your thinking. The rest is up to you!
The Wisdom of the Ages
You may be focused on the future, but don’t ignore sage advice from the past. These 10 Optimistic and Inspiring Quotes are full of wisdom, and they are appropriate for every entrepreneur who’s out there struggling to make it on your own. Not sure you can meet the challenge and overcome setbacks? Post this quote from Rumi (a 13th-century poet and scholar) on your wall: “Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall, and falling, they’re given wings.”
How Do You Fit In?
“Know thyself” is an ancient Greek maxim, and knowing yourself is important if you want to set ambitious goals and meet them. This article can help you understand What Your Personality Type Says About Your Career Destiny. Of course, to be a successful seller, you also have to understand your potential buyers.

Some People Have All the Luck
Not true! In How You Can Unlock the Secret to Being Lucky, Betty Liu, host and editor-at-large of “In the Loop,” explains the meaning of “Opportunity + Preparation = Luck” and reveals the secret – OK, it’s not a secret at all! – of how you too can get lucky.
You Can Do It
Fiverr has proven that the only limits you face are those you impose on yourself. Take the founder of EasyLunchboxes Kelly Lester, who has run a thriving one-person business from her home in Los Angeles since 2009, generating $1.7 million a year! This article is full of great tips for Fiverr sellers at all levels of experience, but if you’re just starting your Fiverr business, take heed of this one: “When I launched my first business, I knew zero about business, but I found that I was good at asking questions, and I was good at investigating and finding the answers.” Do you have questions about succeeding on Fiverr?
