So you’re deciding if you want to take that “plunge” into the world of freelancing… and maybe you’re a bit apprehensive in fear that the money won’t flow into your pockets as quickly or as steadily as you might want.. or need or maybe you don’t think you will be able to handle the responsibilities of being in charge of your own financial future.
Well Freelancers have a secret that they don’t want to tell you 9 – 5 cubical dwelling rats. We’re living the good life ever since we walked right into our bosses offices and told them they can take this job and shove it!… Or in my case, left them a message on their voicemail overnight (who said you have to be brave to be a freelancer??).
Sure, we work harder, usually longer hours then in our past real world jobs… but we enjoy it! Most of us come to the realization in our career that we we will never end up doing what we love… but that’s not necessarily true! While a freelance web designer isn’t exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up, it’s something i enjoy doing. In fact, there are many benefits unique only to the freelancing field.
