“To be a successful, happy freelancer, you should be honest with yourself about exactly what it is that most appeals to you. Maybe you want more freedom, flexibility or variety. You may want to explore your entrepreneurial passion, or perhaps you simply hate reporting to a boss or being part of a corporation. Rank the relative importance of your desires and aversions. How much do you value each when comparing them to a theoretically steady, salaried job? How much are you willing to endure for a freelancer’s lifestyle?”
