Keys to start as a freelancer?

[Sidney]

Hi guys, 

Everything is on the title, I'd like to start my project. And I'd like to know if people around this forum ever faced that possibility and or doing it currently. I got solid skills I think,  and I'm willing to learn in order to be better and open my creative possibilities. I've tried to work on a company but I'm working like 60% as a printer 40% as a creative. I kind of work to be in an industrial level like I got to produce a lots of visuals for banners to put in Arenas etc. But I'd love to create sport style Anniversary logo, event logos even rebranding etc. 

 

My next challenge will be to start learning 3D. I don't want to do big movies or anything like that, just create my logo and make little things like logo unveiling etc. 

So I'm looking for courses, same for after effect etc.

Here is my Dribbble profile if you want to have an idea about my work: https://dribbble.com/SidneyN-F
